My party is September 16th and I have to give the caterer a final count on Monday! I emailed invitations to Demo and psy, Jack Batty, Obfusciatrist and Baglady, GaWd, Kyla, Old Scratch, and zenster. Doob got a paper one since he was at my house. Food, alcohol, bouncy houses, alcohol, bubble-ologists, characture artists, alcohol, jacuzzi, good music, did I mention alcohol? Ping-pong and karaoke are a distinct possibility. (I’ll be drinking.) Children are obviously invited if you wanna bring 'em. Currently our guest list is running at 62 adults plus about 20 kids. Anyone else interested? ---

Hey Sue D. I did get your invitation, I just couldn’t download it at home, due to my computer, which is basically a calculator with a really big display. This machine at work is hum-dinger, though. My wife and I would love to attend. I’ll get around to officially RSVPing via your phone # this afternoon. ---

What you mean you won’t post it on the board for everyone in the world to see? How untrusting of you Sue. I’m shocked! ☹ ---

I can’t figure out why my website isn’t allowing me to upload any new stuff. I’ll have to call MindSpring and spend a day or two on hold. Maybe Demo will post them on his site for me? (please?) ---

VV, that is not an excuse because I happen to have a nice secluded closet that you can use to take visitors one by one. :eek: ---

Do you need some driving directions? \*\* Beautiful, I will consider myself RSVP’d - which is good, because I forgot your invitation at work, so I can’t call. Mrs. Batty and I will be piling into the Battymobile and following our trusty Mapquest map, which I hope is accurate. See you on the 16th. ---

Jack Batty, I will consider you RSVPed then. Check your e-mail, I sent you directions JIC. Can’t wait to see you and meet Mrs. Batty. (BTW, you sig is even more humorous when talking about the Battymobile!) ---

Just send me the pics and captions and they’ll be up post haste. Unfortunately psy and I won’t be able to make it this time. Please manage to have a blast without us. 😉 ---

I would love to come, but as usual, I would need a ride and to make sure I can get the day off (my “weekend” is Wednesday and Thursday). Anyone in the North Bay (i.e., Demo & Psy) going? If I can snag a ride, I will do my darndest to switch with someone at work. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/last-chance-to-party-in-san-jose/32393.md?page=2)
