Maggie - give me enough free drinks and I could be convinced to wear just about anything.  Do you have a "threadjacker" tiara for Rob?

well considering I will be seeing Andy in almost a week.. I felt like I had to project him a little... besides it is for charity... and the Other Side is home to the shortest, (but still damn cute) waitresses in Chicago. Seriously everytime I am there, the entire female staff is about 5'2" to 5'4"... I love it.. it makes me feel tall for once in my life...
Maggie, no, I didn't get the memo, but I will be better from now on...
Courtney, Yes, Maggie does have a tiara for me.. it comes in the form of duct tape and really is more like straps rather than a tiara...
