4th of July

[abracanabra]

As per our usual habit, we will be having a 4th of July celebration at our house! Begins at noon and runs until--well--usually, around three in the morning, though it might end earlier this year since the next day's a workday for some of us. We'll have some sides and things like hot dogs and beer, but it's a "bring your own meat/main-grilling-thing and bring something alcoholic to share, if you're so inclined" party. There will be a section of the grill set aside for vegetarian-only grilling (unless somebody with a small grill wants to bring it for veggies?).

Yes, you are invited. RSVPs appreciated, but not strictly necessary. Please tell others you think I'd like to know if you think they won't see this. If you want to bring somebody I don't know, ask me, but the answer's probably yes.

Barring extreme hangover...

Count Hannah and I there! Your parties are always the best. Want us to bring anything?

We will have fireworks and explosives a plenty. I will bring Napalm as well, if you can find a target to use it on.

I, for one, think it's wonderful that you have a vegetarian/vegan-only grill. I can't wait to see how they taste.

Yay! Look forward to seeing you. Feel free to bring recreational explosive devices.

I'll let you know about the napalm depending on what the final guest list is.

And as for the bringing

Some booze, something to throw on the grill. The usual. Nothing special required.

Naar. I would very much like to be able to go, but I have a doctor's appointment the very next day at too early o'clock. :(

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

Aw. Too sad, but understandable. I mean, it's not as if you're in the same city, even!

Gaea and I will most likely stop by at the least.

I look forward to seeing you!

One of my friends from oh-so-long-ago is in town visiting his girlfriend (who is in town for the summer). He's a geeky pianist/flutist/musicmaking maniac. She's a busty Asian mechanical engineering student from MIT. Together. . . they may make beautiful babies someday, but they have no idea what they're doing for the fourth. I mentioned it in passing.

Me: I mean, nobody will know you, but they're nice people and after a few forties, who cares?
Nick: You guys drink forties?
Me: It's the Fourth of July, of course there's forties!
Nick: Marry me?
Me: It's mostly a Cam and Phil thing.
Nick: Oh.
Me: Phil's already married. And I doubt Electra would let you marry Cam.
Nick: Oh. Shatter my hopes and dreams why don't you.


So yes, if you're OK with a couple random geeks possibly dropping by for a couple hours, I would love to invite them to come by and meet the locals.

They sound cool. Absolutely bring them (so long as they understand that they have to bring their own forties).

I'll probably be there at some point - after my running and helping someone with costuming...

I hope to see you--also, it seems that you're still an extremely high-demand person.

For some reason I assumed this was the fourth-of-july-weekend, when I'm out of town, instead of Tuesday the fourth. Just realizing now that I can actually go. Nifty!

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

Nope! Actually on the day itself! Glad you can make it--bring your girl.

I'll be there with bells on...and I'll bring some fireworks, but you have to shoot them off: I'll be cowering inside.

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

Yay! No need to bring fireworks.... But if you do, you can keep poor girl kitty company--she hates fireworks. Sadly, we live in a fireworks-heavy neighborhood.

Pass the word on to Adele, yah?
