My place, Westpark. Saturday, 27 October. 5:00 pm until ? Please bring a lawn chair, if it’s not raining I’ll have a fire. Costumes are mandatory, if you wear a sports jersey in a lame attempt at a costume prepare to be mocked and ridiculed by the ghost of Don Rickles. I’ll provide Newcastle and hors d’oeuvres. You may bring food or other beverages. Children and dogs welcome, I have a fenced-in backyard with a swing-set. No cats, llamas or emus. Who’s in? ---

[QUOTE=Chronos] I’ll e-mail a picture of myself in costume… Sorry, closest I can get. [/QUOTE] Couldn’t you persuade another cousin to get married? I’ll be there. Might not make it until 6. Coming up from Akron. Anyone need a ride? I’ll bring some kind of dish. Gfactor allowed as how he might drive down. I"ll give him a push. Someone should email Mr. Thyristor, as he quite often comes, but doesn’t ever see the thread until the day before. ---

Can I button the top button on my shirt and claim a computer geek costume? I’ll have to check availability. ---

While admittedly, I appreciate being remembered in your email, I’m pretty sure I won’t make it. Because of the living in Tucson thing now and all. 😉 But y’all have fun. 🙂 ---

Hey, did you remember to invite OpalCat? Isn’t this supposed to be her “Welcome to Cleveland” Dopefest? And if it’s cold, my costume might be less interesting for an outdoor party than for an indoor one! Layers will have to be involved! And a parka!
