Did you stop to consider that David is the one that connects all of this people? Maybe he's the hub. Maybe all of their connections are routed through him. I actually kind of am. My niece, my nephew who both would be bummed if I didn't go. Have friends from different circles coming, plus a girl I invited who is really excited to go. I'd be a lame friend and a horsefeathers uncle if I bailed. Congrats on the sex
