I’d love to (really, I would), but I have a bunch of other plans for that weekend that would probably interfere. If I can make it, I’ll be sure to check in again. ---

WOW! This is my kinda party thread! Let’s see what we’ve got: - A fireman bringing fire (the cat dancing dude) - A pregnant lady snooching - Hi Opal! - Vonderbob, who is new to me! Can’t wait to meetcha! - Grandma Doors 89th birthday: The best excuse not to come that I’ve ever heard! (I’ll miss the clan, however) - **FCM** is officially a MAD, but not officially attending her party - YET! - AnnaLucrecia will be here without baked goods - Scuba Ben will be in London (which is no slouch of an excuse) - Ultrafilter seems to need coercing. I’ll see what I can do about that. - Birdgirl’s bringing the smoothie machine - Opal’s bringing the hunk-a-hunka - **OxyMoron**! Woohoo! At least one guest of honor is a sure thing, and he’s bringing his cute squeeze, too. - Edward the Head seems to have forgotten that he’s going to Europe so maybe he’ll be here, too! - av8rmike might need some coercing, too. Come on guys! - TeleTronOne is professing a secret infatuation - Yikes! So is Birdgirl! Hey, I could do a lot worse. She’s a hottie! ---

One week countdown has started. It looks like we have about fifteen so far. I think I can supply all the dead animal parts we’ll need, but I can use some volunteers to help with grill items for our vegetarian MADs and side dishes for all. ---

Are there any other vegetarians? Please speak up. Opal, I can use your help with disposables because I’ll bet you still have piles of plastic stuff from the last shindig. Birdgirl, could you bring your big cooler and table again? Everyone else: -I will have a variety of sodas, but anyone who wants beer is invited to bring some. -If you want to bring food to share, I recommend either salty snacks or salad type stuff, but it’s not required for admittance. -Extra lawn chairs will be appreciated. So far, only adults have RSVP’d. If anyone is bringing short people please let me know for planning purposes. ---

I’ll bring booze and food of some sort. Maybe my pasta salad again, it was really good last time. And probably a dessert of some kind too.
