Invitational.

[icebluenothing]

If you can read this, you're invited. Yes, really.

My residence is at 19428 Aurora Ave N, #229 (map). It's at 195th street and Aurora; there's a big sign that says "Echo Cove Condominiums." I'm in the north building.

There are a grand total of ten visitor spaces available in the parking lot; if you can't find one, I suggest you park at the Shoreline Park & Ride a block south and walk up.

I don't have a land-line, so I can't buzz you in. Call my cell phone, (206) 334-2154, when you get here, and I can come out and get you. If you don't have a cell phone, then a.) show up with someone who does, or b.) call from the pay phone at the convenience store on the corner, I suppose. Sorry for the hassle.



YOUR INSTRUCTIONS:

Bring guests: Bring a date. Bring that friend of yours you keep meaning to introduce to everyone. Sure, it's a small space, but the more the merrier.

Please RSVP: If you think you're coming, post a comment or send me mail. Thanks!

Please bring: Alcohol and foodstuffs, little snackybits, anything you think people might like.

Please also bring: Girls. No, seriously. Last year was kind of a sausage fest. I know you know some girls. (Bjørn, I'm looking at you, here.) Bring them. Use of excessive charm is authorized.

Have breakfast: The Survivor's Brunch, originally for those hardy souls who made it all the way through the party and crashed here afterward, has become so popular that even people who can't make it to the party itself want to come to it, which I guess is okay. It'll be at the now-traditional location, the Rusty Pelican Cafe (website, map). I had a little trouble dragging myself there by noon last year, so let's say we'll meet there at 1:00pm on January 1st, 2008.

Ta, darlings!

I'm starting negotiations to be there :).

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I hope they go well. :)

I've committed to going to the Nerdvana NYE party (come on, Six, they're promising to let me freeze stuff with liquid nitrogen and then hit it with hammers -- you can't top that), but there's a tiny sliver of a chance I might also come to Sixbox. Nerdvana is in West Seattle, though, so I'm not optimistic.

I may come to the brunch thing, though. Especially if morgyne is going to be there!

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

You're right -- although SIXBOX may have many fabulous amenities, sadly, liquid nitrogen is not among them. Maybe next year. But yes, if you do make the trip all the way from West Seattle, I'll see you then; and if you quite understandably do not, I will most likely see you the next day.

Most definitely in attendance of both party and hangover brunch, but, alas, contributing to the sausage quotient.

Contributions will include dessert bars from my moms, a case of bottled water and as much bottom-rung, cheap-ass pink champagne as I can afford. :)

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

Looking forward very much to the dessert bars, and oh, who am I kidding? To the champagne. Bring a funnel.

[anchiale.livejournal.com]

I might drop by at some point in the evening, seeing as you have such a kind invitation, and I am a girl last time I looked.

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

.... A pretty cute one, at that! Most excellent. I look forward to seeing you.

[pulpguy.livejournal.com]

Ria and I are considering making an appearance. If we can make it do you have any requests towards what we bring?

[retcon.livejournal.com]

This is not canon, but I'd hazard Six's reply would be:

• more women
• pink champagne
• no sugar

[pulpguy.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... All tough requests, I shall see what I can do.

[retcon.livejournal.com]

Fred Meyer has Andre at 3 for $10. Use your older brother's ID if necessary. O.o

[pulpguy.livejournal.com]

Actually it looks that the wife and I shall not be attendace.

If we get the chance to head that way later tonight, about 11:30, we shall stop in and bring the ladies that are heading over here with us. Then shortly after the countdown reaches zero we will fade back into the night.

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

.... Well, fine. I see how you are. I didn't want you at my stupid party anyway. *sniffle*

[wendolen.livejournal.com]

Points 2 and 3 seem to be technically in conflict, but I cannot fault your judgement...

[retcon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, now that I've researched how champagne is made (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne_(wine)) I see your point.

The "no sugar" was more intended to limit Collin's natural inclination of "needs more sugar!" His annual Norwescon usage alone accounts for the gross national export of a small South American country. :)

[pulpguy.livejournal.com]

We get fan mail and holiday cards from Guyana.

[ssandv.livejournal.com]

Barring something like ill children (which has been an unfortunately frequent problem this fall) I'll be there. I'll bring some sort of good beer, as I am largely clueless when it comes to other alcoholic beverages.

The map is having a somewhat epic fail.

[ssandv.livejournal.com]

It's putting the dot near 145th. Though, it *is* on Aurora.

To be fair it says the location is "approximate". Still...

Re: The map is having a somewhat epic fail.

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

Wow. That was fuxx0red. I've fixed the link to a much more helpful map.

[saffyre-dragon.livejournal.com]

Sorry, the only girl I'll be bringing is myself.

Don't know yet if endorphan is going to make it. He is near the end of a pretty bad case of possible food poisoning.

[saffyre-dragon.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I won't be there until almost 11pm, I think...damn this whole working thing!!!

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

No worries! The whole point of a New Year's party is to make it there by midnight, yes?

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

.... You know what's good for food poisoning? Vodka!

[endorphan.livejournal.com]

lol

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

Seriously, though, feel better. If you can make it, I'll be more than happy to see you, and if not, don't worry about it.

[endorphan.livejournal.com]

My intention is to be there, and as long as things continue as they are, it shouldn't be a problem. Hope to make it.

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! Awesome!

[retcon.livejournal.com]

No no no no no.

Vodka would only further upset the delicate state of his digestive system.

Pink champagne is what he needs to calm his humors.

[endorphan.livejournal.com]

ROFLMAO

[sleepdepzombie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for another great new year's party!

Sadly, we didn't make brunch as we were still mostly passed out by 1. One of these years we'll manage that. :)

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

You are quite welcome! I'm always glad to have you guys over.

We didn't make it to brunch until about 1:20. Maybe next year we should aim for 2:00 .... ?
