the invitation, sent out monday, december 18:

Halflab 2-Double-0-7 New Year's Party

They say diamonds are forever, but 2006 is not, so if the year hasn't gone well for you, don't sigh another day -- come on over to HALFLAB (the House Around Lisa, Fred, Louise, And Brandon) on New Year's Eve to celebrate the arrival of the year 2-Double-0-7.

No need to Q up, everyone has a license to fill their glasses with martinis (either shaken or stirred) and other imbibables. But be careful, don't give us all a view to a spill.

As usual, this is a Low-Stress Potluck -- see the website(*) for details on what that means -- so naturally you'll want to arrive as the man with the golden bun, or other foodstuff (note: gold in eye of beholder).

Note that this invitation is NOT for your eyes only -- feel free to pass it along to others who would like to come play games, bond, chat, live and eat pie, etc. Just don't bring that one guy -- you know, the guy that shoved me. (What am I, six?)

The party begins on Sunday, December 31 at 7:00pm, and will last until the living daylights break on January 1.

Need to see a doctor? No, although you only live twice, while tomorrow never dies. Well, never say never (again). I mean, we don't have the world, but even if we did, the world is not enough. We do, however, have a whisk which is rather squid-like or octopus-y (no, seriously, we do). 'Cuz ya know boy Al went to Blunder Hall to watch honor badges tease egrets nervous.

Any moore questions? Raise a bold finger to ask.
