I think I've done me too much Queen Mary in my life. I'd go along just for the ride, cause anything we do together turns out fun ... but I realize it's the first weekend of that minor film sensation ... Harry Freaking Potter ... and though I'll have seen it already, others I know and love will want to see it on Saturday.

So, i'm thinkin' I'll be doing that in the afternoon, and plan on joining everyone at the Cocktail Party afterwards.

It's hard for me to enjoy the Queen Mary on a tour in retrospect to all the adventures I'd had there. My two faves were a wedding and a big New Years Eve party where a large group of us both times snuck below decks and wandered the tiny stairways, dank corridors and creeky catwalks above huge boilerooms in the bowels of the grand ship, all dressed in tuxedoes and gowns, playing Poseidon Adventure.


HAHAHAHAHA fun.

The fog of family doings lifts ever so briefly. See everyone at the cocktail party! :)

I second this one. Think projections of "ghosts" on some scrims, and a tour guide saying "Look everyone! We have made contact!" It's not even as good as cheesy. It's faux cheesy. It's the cheese whiz of tourist attractions.

Have fun though everyone! Wish we could be there, but we have a prior commitment that day and evening. But, we should be seeing most of you Friday night or so.

Alas, I have a big show that night and will not be able to join the fete. :(

Alas and alak (sp?), I also reget I will not be able to attend. Um, let's blame it on allergies.

Alas, we are moving that day and cannot join you. However, we will (hopefully) be having a housewarming party in the relatively near future. Woot!

L and I might possibly be up for cocktails, though that will be two days of cocktails in a row... if we end up not being able to make the 17th we'll come for this...

The horror!!

At least on the 18th the cocktails and nosh will be free - although the variety might be more limited. (We've got 4 different cocktails planned - 3 using different spirits and one non-alcoholic.) Food - well, I'm still working on that aspect.
