The Skellig is a Pub

After being told we were meeting loads of people at The Skellig for brunch, I quickly asked Google what to expect. Google promised skellig is some kind of rock from the sea. Three extra minutes of deeper detective work uncovered that skelligs are actually a group of rocks near Ireland. Pubs and Ireland go together, so The Skellig is a sensible pub name.

How is anyone supposed to feel excited about a party when Evite controls every single bit of party happiness? This week is the first time I've experienced the sadness of Evite. Sure, people have sent an invitation here and there over the years, but never have I been the one waiting for none other than... a reply. Waiting is all a person can do once they hit send on an Evite invitation. Evite...
