Continued at my place afterward, for further social hijinks. I don’t have my license yet, but GF might be able to get me there if she otherwise busy. Perhaps this could be a bit earlier? GF & I could try for dinner together a private table near everyone else. She tends to be uneasy around new people. ---

Ok, would 6pm be better for people? Btw, I have bad news. We won’t be able to go to my house afterward. We have been sick all week and the place is a huge mess (I mean huge) and though we tried to clean, being sick just made it impossible. Plus we may still be sick by Saturday. However, the restaurant has a bar and I think we’ll be able to camp out quite nicely and have all kinds of fun there! And anyone wanting to do Sunday breakfast at the Buffet, that is still on. ---

6 would be great for us. GF has decided she wouldn’t mind joining the party, I’m sure we can find a pair of seats not too close to the rest of the weirdos. 😃 ---

Attended: OpalCat Undead Dude Nicky Jeff Olsen & A.C. Jens Merlin dcnewsman weirddave Falcon Nicky provided a name for the event. He said it was a “Spilling Party”… and it was. First the waiter spilled a full glass of iced tea over the table, then Nicky knocked his drink onto the floor. Then I almost knocked another drink out of the waiter’s hand. Later someone at the other end of the table spilled a glass of ice. There was one more, I think, and finally Nicky put his head into a bowl of salsa… and spilled it. Did you know that sharks are made of wood and cheese? ---

Yes I did. I actually went back to sleep after breakfast and slept until 6pm… heh. But then I had a very nice evening. ---
