Invitational.

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!
