Christmas Party this Saturday: "It's a Cindy and Alex Holiday"

[Morrigoon]

Okay, I've been informed by a few sources of several people I forgot to add to the evite, so rather than try and cross match who I've forgotten and whose emails I don't have, I'm just gonna post this publicly. I haven't been snubbing you, I just can't keep on top of who's missing. So without further ado, here's your invite, kids:

What: Christmas party is this Saturday.
Who: You
When: Starting at 6pm (LoT time... so I'll see you around 7, yeah?)
Where: My place. PM me if you haven't been. (or feel free to ask someone)
Parking: Important! Park along the little side street or in guest lots (there's a map at the entrance, showing you where they are, or PM me and I'll link you to an image of it with handy labels). I mention this because all other spaces (including uncovered ones) are assigned, and I have tow-happy neighbors.
Bring: Tacky, cheap, funny, regifted, or otherwise undesirable wrapped gift for Tacky White Elephant Gift Exchange. Under $10 recommended (But hey, knock yourself out if you feel like getting fancy or keeping it under a buck).
Optional: Got an international (or other) dish you'd like to share? Cool. Wanna dress up in liederhosen, kilt, kimono, poncho or cowboy hat? Whatever's comfortable.

I already have a rough estimate of attendance, but if you haven't seen/replied to/gotten the evite and wanna reply to let me know you're coming, it's helpful :)

[Morrigoon]

Oh FYI for latecomers: gift exchange will be sometime around 8 if you plan to participate

[LSPoorEeyorick]

We are bringing one goodie and one so-bad-it's-goodie. I love a good heffalump exchange!

[CoasterMatt]

Damn... I hate my monkey's work schedule.

Have fun everybody!

[Kevy Baby]

Can I come on Sunday?

[lashbear]

Kevy, I'm sure you can come any day you would like to. The trick is learning how....

[Alex]

If I'm having people over does this mean I need to put on a shirt tomorrow?

[Kevy Baby]

If I'm having people over does this mean I need to put on a shirt tomorrow?No, but you should put on some pants

[lashbear]

did Nirvanaman ever find his pants ?

[bewitched]

did Nirvanaman ever find his pants ?

I believe so.

[Gn2Dlnd]

Thinking of a pre-party DL walkthrough, maybe dinner.

Or maybe I'll go see The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Or, DTD AMC, and DL walkthrough!

[Morrigoon]

skype is up

[lashbear]

skype is down ! (well, for us at least !!) It was great seeing everyone !! Last thing we saw was Lindyhop frozen in front of a massive telly, then the app closed down !!

It was probably the universe's way of telling us to go wash the clothes and tidy the Kitchen. :D

[Gn2Dlnd]

Fun party as always, and my white elephant will be regifted at the first opportunity! Thanks Cindy!

What happened was my computer hadn't been plugged in, and it decided to go to sleep till I plugged it in and started it back up. By the time we figured this out, you were gone

[lashbear]

We were honoured to be there. We like attending LoT Parties !! :snap:

[BDBopper]

Hope everyone had a great time! I would have joined y'all on Skype too but I was not and still am not feeling too well today.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Happiness is giving...
...a hideous toilet seat...
...and receiving another one four years later!

A lovely party as always. Thanks, Cindy and Alex! And to all of the rest of you for the hearty laughs.

[katiesue]

Thank you Cindy. So much fun. Now wherever will I put my treasured figureine?

[Morrigoon]

katiesue: Did you leave a bowl and several cheese knives?

As Gn2Dlnd put it, "Oh good, I can put this lamp in my very own whorehouse"

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it! (including those who skyped in)

[BDBopper]

Oh my gosh that cake made me smile! Thanks for sharing that picture. What a neat cake! :D

[Gemini Cricket]

Worst. Cookie. Decorating. Ever!
:D

Aww. I love the pics.
:)

[katiesue]

katiesue: Did you leave a bowl and several cheese knives?

Yes - Merry Christmas!

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Worst. Cookie. Decorating. Ever!
:D

I take offense, sir! I thought "Frenchman in a Beret" held its own.

Ugly Bond girl, too.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Cool cake!

[Gn2Dlnd]

Oooh, I like Ugly "Bond" Girl! I was calling her, Ugly Blonde Girl, but, Ugly "Bond" Girl is more evocative. 'Cause now she's mysterious and ugly.

And possibly dangerous.

[Morrigoon]

Worst. Cookie. Decorating. Ever!
:D

Aww. I love the pics.
:)
I should've taken a picture of Cherny's very lovely Christmas tree cookie.

[Disneyphile]

LOVE that cake!! Wow!!! :snap:

[Tom]

Worst. Cookie. Decorating. Ever!

I look forward to photos demonstrating GC's obviously awe-inspiring cookie-decorating skills.

[Kevy Baby]

Okay, we're on our way. We should be there shortly...

[BDBopper]

Okay, we're on our way. We should be there shortly...

Way to be fashionably late, Kevy! :p

[lashbear]

We're still swimming....

[Snowflake]

We're still swimming....

Better be!

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

For those at the party - some funnies...
