Mark Your Calendars

[abracanabra]

Advance warning: we will be having a celebration of our fifth anniversary on April Fools' Day. There will be hors d'oeuvres and fine alcoholic drinks and poker and classic boxing videos and (if I can't stop it) cigars (in the garage, if not further away). It is a black-tie occasion. That means suits, or fancy dresses. I don't particularly care what gender goes in what, but you better bloody well be dressed up. And if you (including y'all who don't read livejournal) don't show up, you'd better have a damn good excuse. Like having emergency surgery that you couldn't reschedule.

Further details to come.

My cousin Ben is getting married.

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

On April 1st!? I thought we were the only ones foolish enough to do that.

[discoflamingo.livejournal.com]

Well, you two are the good kind of foolish. He is both foolish and dumb.

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

That sucks.

The after-party will probably also not be nearly as cool as ours.

[malcubed.livejournal.com]

What if we have exclusively non-black ties?

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

Acquire a black tie.

[malcubed.livejournal.com]

Ummm... No.

[malcubed.livejournal.com]

I have no use for one, you see, having a total lack of any clothes that a black tie would reasonably go with.

[discoflamingo.livejournal.com]

Are you telling me you don't own a black bow-tie? Because that's the real live shit from front to back.

[malcubed.livejournal.com]

All my bowties in the world, where the fuck you at?

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

Borrow? Beg? Steal?

Dress up, damn it!

I think kilts count as formal....

[malcubed.livejournal.com]

I'm plenty prepared for formality, it's just that I lack a tie of the specified color. A failing I suspect approximately half of your guests will suffer from, minimum.

Damnation! You had to be on the same day as the next gaming session with Doug after I've missed a few..

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

Harrumph! I didn't know you five years ago, so I won't be quite as pissed...but that's a lousy excuse.

[cutefuzzysatan.livejournal.com]

Looks like we'll be missing at least three people that game anyway, so the boy and I will discuss moving the date of the next game. Unfortunately, there's a lot going on the next few months! Maybe we could do a Sunday late afternoon...

So, Yanni, would you be wearing a suit and tie or a dress? Hard to tell with you these days...

;)

devilstears - "So, is across the country a good excuse?"

Assuming that's not enough...

What if we're not allowed to cross state lines?

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

A pre-existing condition of "across the country" is an adequate excuse, but if you're not allowed to cross state lines, I expect you to be enough of a desperado to be able to make it.

[utilitygeek.livejournal.com]

Whew. 'Cause it's a little late to ask for a week off to go to MN for mw. :-\

Congratz on approaching 5 years of mutual assured destruction!

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how accurate that statement is.

Although knowing both of us, you can probably guess.

[abaddonx99.livejournal.com]

Too sorry, but I'll be in motherfucking Barcelona at the time, so I'm afraid I won't be able to attend.

Also, I apologize for cursing...I think.

[discoflamingo.livejournal.com]

Fuck that motherfucking noise!

. . .

Bitch-Ass!

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

Dude! It's motherfucking Barcelona!

[xcorvis.livejournal.com]

What time?

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

That would be among the further details. I assume beginning eveningish and running until everybody passes out--from past experience, about 4 a.m.

[sinister-dr-x.livejournal.com]

Aye
I will come in formal wear but not black tie
As black tie traditionally for men is only a tuxedo
Though the tie need not be black
I do not wish to rent said tuxedo
And I currently can't find my tux anywhere
It's like it just disappeared
All my tuxes in the world, where the fuck you at?
Where my tuxes is at, where my tuxes is at?
Where the fuck my tuxes at?
Where my tuxes is at?

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

Really? I thought that was white tie.

Well, anyway, formal is fine. A suit, a tie, a gown.

Really Hot Woman #3 probably kidnapped your tux and took it on a vacation to the Caribbean Islands.
