Just because ol’ **thinksnow** thinks he’s so smart! What say everyone come on over to our place in costume on Saturday, October 25, 2003 and have a crazy-mad party? Who’s up for it? Sound off! ---

He’ll only twist it to get Jenny’s phone number off of it. Of course we’ll be there! ---

I’m clearing my calendar. Which usually means that _something_ will spring up at the last minute. ---

Hmmm…can I do two dopefests in one month? Do I want to drive ten hours? Yes, that’s right, I have a car now so I don’t have to take a bus! We’ll see…I’m not quite sure what my financial situation will be, then. Gas is expensive…Hell, it might be cheaper to actually take the bus again. ---

Consider **punha** and I there. Now I’ve got to come up with costume ideas. I’ll try to be a little more creative than last year. ---

Whereas I will be markedly LESS creative. That’s right, folks. First year I was Cecil Himself. Last year I was Clark Kent/Superman/Mr. Tire Swing Destroyer Man (actually not an Adam Sandler creation). This year … I’m having difficulty thinking up amusing clues. Clue 1 (not saying it’s amusing, just that it’s a clue): I’ll have a speech prepared for my role in the play. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth \* > **He’ll only twist it to get Jenny’s phone number off of it.** I ain’t saying any more than this, but there’s a good chance that the marker will be playing a MUCH more prominent role in my costume this year. ---

This year, my costume is, again, food-related but not food itself. (It’s hard to find a good toast costume.) I gotta find myself a better hobby. (That’s all the hints you’re going to get.) Robin ---

Dave and I will be there as ourselves, but not-as-fat as last year. Maybe we’ll even have costumes! ---

I’m trying to talk Tark into going this year. We’re having our (much smaller, non-publicized) party on November 1, so there’s no conflict there. Remind me please, though…is it kid-friendly, or would we have to velcro the kids into the closet for the night? ---

No, we’re more than kid friendly. Kate’s got to have someone to play with. We serve alcohol and allow no drugs. Public sex is discouraged. ---
