How many posts am I going to make today?

Ok. So. The will-be groom at this LA wedding called just now to check on my RSVP status. I hadn't even looked at the reply-by date on the invite because I figured it was not-yet, but I guess it was early and I missed it.

He's giving me a week to decide. He also gave me a rundown of college people they invited, and I'm pretty much not friendly with any of them. Which is discouraging. But I knew that was going to be the case because I didn't really hang out in their circle so much.

And then he asked me to look up this other dude who lives in Denver in the phonebook to see if I could find him because he'd sort of gotten lost. And I asked whether he'd tried the Google, and I googled this chap and it turns out this guy they're inviting to their wedding had a wikipedia page which informs me that '[i]n 2001, he was named one of the 50 most eligible bachelors by People Magazine,' among other things. Which I found a bit shocking and cool. And then I found a webpage for his place of work and they're open 24 hours a day and I called and he still works there and I got an email address that I passed onto the incipient groom.

But, since I would basically not have any friends worth visiting at this wedding (and really, most of the point of a wedding isn't about the people getting married but instead about all the invitees getting to see one another) and don't have too many other people in LA these days, I think the ability to get a discounted S-H tour might be a potential scale-tipper. So was that an honest offer? And how discounted are we talking here, anyway?
