Counting heads...or, er, whatever.

[saffronhare]

I'd like to get some idea of how many folks will be descending upon the TCP Headquarters for Friday night's Boobs & Booze party. You know, so we can be sure to have enough film and toilet paper and stuff.

So, um, raise your hand or something?

Funny -- folks have been telling agrnmn they're attending, but I haven't gotten a single frickin' email about it. Good thing I didn't try to pull off a surprise or anything. :)

In particular, please let me know if you need to bring a young person with you -- we can stock movies upstairs so they won't be bored and we won't feel awkward about making boob jokes downstairs. While this isn't really going to be a Charlesworth Party (tm), it won't be particularly kid-safe; but OUR kids kind of HAVE to be here, you know? I think we'll spike Princess Sticky's milk...

Nobody really HAS to bring anything, but if you already know what you're bringing, please dash me an email? It wouldn't be tragic if we ended up with 18 bottles of Captain Morgan Private Stock and 23 bags of Tostitos, but maybe I'd buy mandarin oranges and some salsa if I knew ahead of time.

Hey, kittenpants! Would you pretty please bring some slinky Naga Music? I'd like to maybe have some dancing. Maybe. I haven't danced in so long...

Obviously, you know we're coming. ;)

I can definitely bring slinky boogie music. What else shall we bring? We can bring a few oranges and some rum for Tequila Mockingbirds... we can bring foody stuff too. What sounds tasty?

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

Rum and orange juice in a Tequila Mockingbird? Please to explain.

[zylch.livejournal.com]

Not orange juice, oranges. It's a drink we came up with in college, since imported here. Same theory as a tequila shot (salt, shot, lime) only you use sugar in the raw, rum (pref. Capn M's Private Stock), and orange. Monkey shots use bananas.

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

Ah. See elsewhere, rum and orange juice is a Cuban Screw. Add Galliano for a Harvey Wallbanger. A (official) Tequila Mockingbird is tequila, lime juice, and creme de menthe. And it's a nasty as it sounds, too.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

How about some "bad guys" to balance out the salty/sweet equation? I don't think we'll have any shortage of rum, but I bet we'll need chaser bits. I'm counting on zylch to bring her box o'raw sugar. Did you hear that, zylch?)

[zylch.livejournal.com]

I heard. 1 box o' raw sugar, one partial bottle of rum, some oranges (blood if we have them), 1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream (yay spoilage!), etc. There's part of a chocolate raspberry torte in your fridge already. Anything else needed?

I will also be bringing some of my excess alcohol, in the hopes that someone will drink and/or adopt it.

Got any floor pillows?

...she told me to ask you about a loom that needs a new home?

Re: Sent from <lj user="breathofgold">

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Yes! There's a lovely new-ish loom I'm trying to find a home for. I don't know from looms, but it looks quite serviceable to me -- with a drop spindle and a huge wad of wool. Let me know if you'd like to have it and I'll arrange to get it to you...somehow.

Re: Sent from <lj user="breathofgold">

[treeskin.livejournal.com]

I'd love give those a home. Would you like me to meet you or come pick it up? (Umm, one assumes you're in the KC area, else our mutual friend wouldn't have made the suggestion, but I should have asked that first.)

Re: Sent from <lj user="breathofgold">

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm in the KC area. Why don't you zap me an email through LJ -- saffronhare(at)livejournal(dot)com -- and we'll figure out how to connect?

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Dance with me sometime soon, and I'll consider forgiving you. You'll have to negotiate agrnmn's terms with him.

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

We're there. I'll bring a decent scotch, but not so good it can't be mixed with the soda I will also bring. No sense ruining single-malt whisky with bubbly water, you know. I won't be home today, so homemade food-type things won't be possible. You seem to be anticipating a large quantity of savories, so I'll pick up some sweets while I'm out.

nodeal57 will defer to the birthday boy and not wear his "Feminist Chicks Dig Me" t-shirt.

[capriciouslass.livejournal.com]

We're going to try to make it. I seem to be somewhat better (at least I think I'm no longer contagious), but the big kitty is fighting it off. It really depends on how we're feeling, and whether we feel there is any chance of passing it to others. We wouldn't want to share.

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

Enough alcohol will sterilize anything. :-)

[capriciouslass.livejournal.com]

Ah! Is that what my problem has been? I just haven't been drinking enough???

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Most of us have each other's germs already anyway. We'd love to have you come by, even if it's just for a little while.

[druidevo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a party I can walk to. As for stuff, can me at five or six, and tell me whats lacking, and I'll bring.

[starwyse.livejournal.com]

Have the best ever time...dance away!!! Wish I could witness that :)

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Life is long, Star. We'll dance soon. Who knows? Maybe you'll feel it anyway...

Thinking about it

[opaljax.livejournal.com]

I don't know for sure yet. I have to work tonite, and get off at 8. However, there is the alcohol and, well, the alcohol. I'm really thinking about it, but it sort of depends how tired I am. So, the hand is halfway up.

oh, and I have no kids for a week. ::Doing the happy free parent dance.::

If I promise to kiss you, will you come?
Alternately, if I promise not to kiss you, will you come?

Helpful, you are.

Re: Wise woman once said:

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Kisses for those who want kisses. No kisses for those who don't want kisses.

It's all about options.

if you come

[agrnmn.livejournal.com]

opaljax as Birthday boy I will force any one person to kiss or not kiss you as you choose.

Re: Thinking about it

[opaljax.livejournal.com]
