Halflab Party Without Reason

It's been said that you never need a reason to have a party. So we at HALFLAB -- the House Around Lisa, Fred, Louise, And Brandon -- have decided to buck the precedent set by our previous parties, and put that theory to the test.

Therefore, without providing any justification for it whatsoever, we will be having a party on Friday, October 14, beginning around 8:00, and lasting late into the night.

Come on by for the usual forms of excitement, including but not limited to: food, drink, merriment, carousing, Dance Dance Revolution, foosball, board games, etc. Or just come on by for no reason at all. Also, as always, feel free to bring along other folks who would enjoy the festivities.

Regarding food, the usual Low-Stress Potluck (not No-Stress) rules apply. For details, see the website(*).
