04/27/04’s illustrious band:

Virtual Sushi Party

Brought to you by the Japan Culture Club. Amy 2.0, this one’s for you!

Too busy or too lazy to plan and execute an in-person sushi party? Or simply averse to eating actual raw fish? Not to worry -- Virtual Sushi Party (www.asahi-jc.com/sushi.htm) to the rescue! Visit the virtual party planner online, choose the types of sushi you want on your party menu, choose a background pattern for your invitation, enter some friends’ e-mail addresses, and voila! Instant virtual sushi party. Another marvel of Japanese efficiency and technical wizardry, served up in a germ-free environment.

Party animals, take note: When a VSP invitation arrives, the return address will be Japan Culture Club, not the address of the person who sent it. If you’re using a spam filter, check your junk mail box to make sure you’re not missing the v-social event of the season.

Today around the world: April 27 is Horse Day in Turkmenistan, Day of Resistance in Slovenia, and part of National Landscape Architecture Week in the U.S.
