Yes,
YOU, Vancouver, so pack your best cruisewear, board the good
ship Urban Mixer, and prepare to cruise it like it’s never
been cruised before. Come aboard. Or on the beach. Whatever.
The Lido Deck is open, and a number of the crew are also open
to some esoteric suggestions. Must be something they picked up
in Acapulco; don’t worry, they’ve had their shots.
Love,
life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.
But
you can always get out of the hot tub at that point. Who knew
it floated?
Set
a course for love this week. We’re waterlogged enough that
it’s time to turn on the sunlamps as well as the spectators,
so dig that swimsuit out of your bottom drawer (no, that’s
not a metaphor. Use body glue for chrissakes) and prepare to
roast yourself into a nice, even Oompa-Loompa orange. Or just
try Magic Tan.
Urban
Mixer soon will be making another run.
The Urban Mixer promises something for everyone.
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.
In
any case, there’s no excuse for keeping your shipshape
shape high and dry in drydock this week. Wet dock is so much
more 21st century, don’t you think? C’mon in, the
water’s fine. Get your toes wet. Wow, you must be flexible.
See
you at the Captain’s Table, and after the third Martini,
we’ll see you under it; it’s bound to get crowded
down there, particularly if he wears those baggy shorts.

URBAN
MIXER WEEKLY, IN THIS ISSUE
Love
won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
Yes LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! (hey-ah!)
It
certainly sounds like it, doesn’t it? If you know for sure:
if you’re the first to let the Captain know what mysterious
islands are up ahead, which incredible soirees are coming our
way, who’s going to be playing the Broadway Room, and who
in the name of all that’s holy Kate Moss is bonking now,
just signal the steward HERE [raj@urbanmixer.com] and Gopher
will be along presently to take down the information and hand
you a complimentary Urban Mixer t-shirt for that hot promenade
action on the Promenade Deck. Prepare to promenade!

ANY
PORT IN A STORM An
amusing link
Sometimes
we get caught in the powerful eddies of the Sargasso Sea and
Bermuda Triangle, and you would not BELIEVE what we find there.
Like this...
If
you missed the Burning to Shine Screening with K-OS last Tuesday,
you can still see it on TV the next two Tuesdays, this Tuesday
on CBC's Opening Night at 9:25PM and next Tuesday on Zed Real
at 11:25PM. Check it out HERE.
Speaking
of K's, Kevin "former Mr. Britney Spears" Federline gave MTV
a taste of his "Brazillian ass shaker" PopoZao last week. LINK.
Now check out the remix video with "Penut Butter Jelly Time"
dubbed in. LINK.
Grab
your life preservers, because we’re about to pull out.
Leaving the dock for the high seas, we know we have what it takes
to handle those swells. We are at one with the motion of the
ocean, and sometimes we even enjoy being storm-tossed. Did you
see X-Men? Storm is really hot.
Here
on the good and sometimes naughty ship Urban Mixer we take pride
in giving it to you the way you want it. If you want it laid
out before you smorgasbord-style, we are happy to escort you
to the Smorgas Boardroom: just click HERE [http://www.urbanmixer.com/events.asp] and the array of delights will spread themselves out before you
like a sunset off Aruba, accompanied by Charo on flamenco guitar.
Coochie coochie!
If
you’re more of a one-at-a-timer (and we used to be) then
just wander over to the sidebar and click on the day that is
dear to your heart; all the events of that day shall be delivered
directly to your cabin, accompanied by knowing winks from Isaac
the bartender.
Love
won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's
LOOOOOOOOOOOVE!
It's the Urban Mixer-ah! It's the Urban Mixer-ah!
I wonder
if he makes his O face when he sings that…ah, never mind.
I’m raiding the Tickle Trunk for white, short-sleeved shirts,
Bermuda shorts, and tube socks: hey, if it got Dr. Adam Bricker
laid, it should work for me, right? Everybody looks hot in poly-cotton
blends…er, maybe not.
The
Lido Deck Cocktail:
- 1-1/2
ounce light rum
- 1/3 ounce cream sherry
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Ice
Directions:
Stir the whole lot of it with the ice, strain, sip
from www.mixed-drink.com by
way of E!Online.

Williams said, "I could find the cure for cancer, but what
I'd be remembered for is writing the theme to The Love Boat".
Poor boy, and so wrong: I remember him from when he guest starred
on I Dream of Jeannie. Or was that Bewitched? I’d much
rather be remembered for sending out elaborate and bizarre email
newsletters; but then, you knew that!
