Kilroy was here. Olé.

I saw some of you there, but if I didn't see you I worked the information desk at Artscape the other weekend.  If you missed it, you can check out the highlights here: https://www.facebook.com/Artscape.Baltimore


Today, I received a Gmail with a SurveyMonkey to give feedback about my experience volunteering for Artscape.
 
Side note: Survey Monkey, I still haven't got over the fact that you took away my Zoomerang.  As if zoomerang wasn't a stupid enough word, I now send surveys to co-workers referencing monkeys and actually ask them to take it seriously.  Should I really have to be put through this mockery just because I don't want to pay for surveys??  Sigh. 

So...nice little innocent me is dutifully filling out a survey, sharing constructive feedback, trying to make a positive impact on future generations of volunteers, when I received an ambush Gchat message.

You may notice that the culprit signed off so quickly that I didn't get to express my gratitude with a series of expletives...and hearts...and more expletives.  Instead, I am making you all look at the website with me.

The hit and run chatter sent the following link to a website about piñatas at weddings.

Even though I knew I would regret it, I clicked on the link.  It takes you to a page of twelve wedding piñatas, all of which are about as annoying as this one:
Hot Air Balloon Pinata

Piñata cookies did not even make this list of "cool" wedding piñatas, but maybe they should have.  As much as they are a terrible nightmare to make, even I can admit that they are A LOT more fun than having crazy white people in designer gowns blindfolded and hitting their guests with sticks. 
I can only imagine what my Gramma would have to say about this idea.


Morals of this story.
-Volunteering will always come back to bite you in the ass one way or another.
-Getting me to make a blog post is as easy as sending me something annoying about weddings.
-Piñatas aren't just for quinceañeras anymore.
 
-I also found out that a whopping 340ish people accidently read this blog because they were googling Boston accents.  I hope they found it useful.  Suckahs.
