JP got a last minute invite to the fancy Burn's Night at the Omni this weekend.
Since the invite came today,and it was totally to replace a couple that backed out the last minute JP got offended and said "No." This is a huge step for him.
It probably helps that he can't stand this over the top Burn's Night that goes on here. According to him, "It's one thing back home... it's another thing here. It rings false." Because it basically becomes a drunk see & be seen of the expates from what I hear.
To me it also smacks of refusing to be apart of the culture you're living in. It would be like me moving to the UK and having a Fourth of July fireworks display and demanding Bud Light and hot dogs be served.
I'm not impressed enough to be offened about the late invite. I have no desire to try and find a dress, and a fancy dress would be required as the guys are meant to go in as Craig Fergueson calls it, "The Full Brigadoon."

Good job JP. Hope his feelings aren't too hurt though. Same people you have had trouble with before?
