Historic November Date Draws Near

Doubtless you knew I was referring to November 9, which is the cutoff date for adding a wish to one of Yoko Ono’s wish trees currently choking the entrance patio of Gordon Biersch in Old Town Pasadena. In a nutshell:
- You have until November 9 to go to Pasadena, make a wish and tie it to one of the (at this point) heavily-taxed, overburdened Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) shrub trees
- Your wish will be removed from the Lagerstroemia indica to which it was previously affixed
- Your wish will be exported to Iceland
- Your wish will be inserted into a space-age capsule
- Using a top-of-the-line Nupla™ drain spade shovel (presumed), Yoko Ono will dig a hole and bury your wish near the Imagine Peace Tower on Videy Island, off the coast of Reykjavík, Iceland
- Somehow, by way of it being buried near the Luxor-aping tower of light, your wish will then be “broadcast” up to the heavens with all of the other wishes
Further:
The tower, a column of light emanating from a stone base with a radius of about 10 meters, is lit for two months each year starting on October 9, John Lennon’s birthday, and ending on December 9, the anniversary of his death. (source)
The once-in-a-life historic November date approaches rapidly; don’t delay.
OH! YOKO

that’s not a crape myrtle. it looks like a magnolia.
sincerely,
pam (bush and shrub expert)
ok, expert. but you’re going to have to break this (patently incorrect) news to yoko, you realize.
Mayhap you go write down and affix a wish that the 21 wilting, overburdened, gordon-biersch-beer-starved Lagerstroemia indica all spontaneously turn into magnolias, in order that you may one day know what the hell you’re talking about when it comes to shrubbery. Your wish will then be exported to Iceland where Yoko will personally bury it and, later, mysteriously shoot it into the sky as a beam of light.
You will need to notify Flavorpill, too. This same last-minute “two weeks left” plug and info showed up on their site – just today, some time following this post – in what can only be considered a rare, synergistic coincidence.
Also: Pasadena. Need to try to convince Pasadena, too. Hop to it!
(ps, are you going to lucha?)
yes! going to lucha with a group of 20 people from work! crazy. can’t cover it though because i’ll be too busy drinking el jimador tequila drinks!
