October 18

Went to the wedding. I'll not talk about it at length. Just to say that it was dry (unbelievably dry) so my friends and I snuck in a big bottle of bourbon whiskey. There were some very nice people there. There were also a lot of people the kind of which I have never met before. Slow moving and permed. Teetotal, churchgoing, moustache-wearing, closeted homosexuals. Conservative. Interestingly people that did come and speak to me told me they were Democrats within five minutes of meeting.

My friends and I went to a hotel bar afterwards and I discovered the quickest way to make friends with an American male as a British male is to say you'd love to follow American football but cannot fathom the complicated rules. I've been invited to some games already.

The way to make friends with an American female as a British male is to say hi.
