Happy Birthday, girl. And good luck with London Cringe. Wish I could be there, but of course I won't even be in Europe until the day after.

Wow Sarah B., Happy friggin' Birfday! I remember like it was just yesterday when you were 26 pt. 2. Time flies! Enjoy Europe!

You said Lift. :)

Happy 30th, honey bunch! I can't think of many better places to turn 30 then on the top of the Effiel Tower, you superstar, you.

In two weeks I shall buy you a 30 year old birthday drink! And I'll take you to the Daily Show too.

Excited!!

Woop, London Cringe at long last!
I'm most definitely there.
Happy birthday for yesterday1

When I visited the Eiffel Tower the lift was broken too, so for half the price of a ticket we walked up as well, but since it was 12 years ago I don't remember my feet hurting much. Hope yours get better!

And Happy 30!

Happy Birthday Fucker!

Happy Birthday! I just turned 3ahem on Sunday, but I was in South London, rather than up a monument, so whatever.

Anyway - Foundry (know it well) tomorrow night! See you there!

i spent my 30th waiting for a plane to move cities... yours sounds much cooler!

happy 30th Sarah B! I hope you screamed your name from the top of tower!

Happy Birthday Ms. Brown!

Hmm... when I went to the Eiffel tower, the lift was broken too... they really hate us, don't they?

Happy Birthday, Sarah! I've been reading for a few months now and want to thank you for your wit and just being so cool! Thanks for helping me look forward to thirty!

Feliz Cumpleaños!!

Happy belated birthday! 30 is good, mine is pretty good so far, and would be better if I could get a job. :) Enjoy the rest of your trip (isn't that the most inane thing to say to someone? as if you'd actually wish ILL... "Hope you get Montezuma's revenge!")

Welcome Back, Happy Birthday and welcome to the club! The first time I was in Paris I was 16, and even then as a young, hale and hearty Midwesterner, I didn't attempt to climb all those stairs.

I spelled Eiffel wrong. Zoot alors!

Don't forget Exit #3!

Just wanted to say 'thank you!' for a great Cringe last night. Achingly hilarious, heart-rending stuff… a real roller-coaster (much like being a teenager). Thanks also to all the brave souls who took to the mike (mic?) to read! I look forward to another London Cringe...
Enjoy the rest of your time on this side of the pond, and a belated Happy Birthday!

You're in my living room but I already miss you! Cringe last night was a blast. I hate missing it in Brooklyn since I moved but now I don't feel so bad!

Indeed, last night was fantastic, amputee-teacher sex, ninjitsu magic and all.

Got to go now, I'm off to Fingerhut's.

posted by Ryan on June 14, 2007 at 09:14 AM

"...amputee-teacher sex..." ?!

posted by Johnny on June 14, 2007 at 11:41 AM

Ah, Fingerhut. Classic.

Great night (dubious husband now converted), thanks very much, and I hope you'll do another!

(Slept well.)

posted by Jen on June 14, 2007 at 06:38 PM

Hey Ryan - I'll see you at Finger-Hut's with the amputee "Outdoor Advisor" (I think you'll find he wasn't exactly a teacher) and James (who will have "slept OK" I hope). If I don't see you at Finger-Hut's I'll see you next Cringe.

Thanks Sarah for bringing Cringe to London. Can't wait for the next one.

Happy Birthday Us! I had a great time on Wednesday, and it was very nice to meet you and everyone. See my webshite for details!

hi Sarah,
it was lovely to meet you. Cringe was hillarious, great fun, I can't wait until the next one.

Zut, you were just metres from where I work, Eiffel lady. I hope the French were good to you. The first encounter is sometimes a bit rough, but actually the French are very smart and humane...funny even. But I'm marrying one, so I guess I have to say that.

I'm regret not taking the train into London for Cringe. I'm intrigued by the ninja magic.

Happy birthday, SB. Who knew 30 could be so cool?

posted by Leah on June 15, 2007 at 01:56 PM

Well, amputation isn't ALL bad... Afterall it's the ONLY surefire way to loose weight and KEEP it off. And if you get both feet lopped off you can get not one, but TWO peg legs! Now if you could only loose an eye somehow... perhaps a tragic round of lawn darts? Oh, how we laughed and laughed....

I read this right before I went to bed and then I had a dream that Cringe was coming to a city near me! :-P
