Hey Cleveland-vicinity people! We’re having some friends over on Friday night (the 4th) and wanted to invite you to come as well! We’ll be having a bonfire out in the back, assuming it isn’t raining, and probably we’ll do some fire juggling as well. You know, since we can’t do fireworks. Gotta do fire _something_.
We’ll have snacks, drinks, and music inside. Plus you can meet my newly-three-legged cat!
If you’d like to come, send me a PM and I’ll give you the address. We’re in Independence, a couple of minutes off of I-77. Party starts about 9pm-ish. I hope to see you there!
(The fireworks in Independence are actually going to be on the 3rd, which is unfortunate, because otherwise we could watch them from our yard.)

Hmmm… We’re supposed to be going over to the neighbor’s house, but I’m not sure how long we’ll be there. I’ll check for more information. Of course, then I’d have to let on to him about the Dope. :dubious:

Awwww I wanna go to this, I missed you **Opal** at the gathering(s) in January. Alas, I’m 3500 miles away.

You can just say “another friend is having a party, too” and not say how you know me 🙂

Sorry, Opal. My GF and I are taking the Rapid downtown and joining the festivities there.

It looks like we may be shifting plans to Saturday night instead of Friday night. It seems that a lot of my other friends have conflicts for Friday night as well.

Ok officially the party is now on **SATURDAY the 5th**. Start time, sometime between 9/10pm but probably going pretty late. If you have other evening plans, you can just call to see if we’re still doing stuff when you’re done and come over after. PM me for address and phone number.

Well, Cain Park has a shitty sound system so it was really rough understanding the words, and I haven’t seen \*The Wiz \* before so it was a good thing I’ve read the book. Still, the actors playing the title role and the Lion were outstanding, though Dorothy was a bit shrill.
Oh, you mean the party? Sorry, can’t say. 😃
