Halflab Half Dozen Birthday

HALFLAB -- the House Around Lisa, Fred, Louise, And Brandon -- turns six years old this month! So naturally we've got a half dozen reasons to come to our Annual Low-Stress Potluck(*) Birthday Party:

  1. Food and drink -- we'd get hungry if we had no tasty comestibles, and we'd look pretty silly standing around holding cups if we had no liquids to put in them.

  2. Board games and musical video games -- including but not limited to Settlers of Catan, RoboRally, Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution.

  3. Hot tub and fire pit -- get some fresh air in our scenic backyard.

  4. Geeky discussions and asinine banter -- can you really call it a party without these?

  5. Upstairs and downstairs living rooms -- twice the usual complement of couchy goodness.

    6. And of course,

  6. Halflab's patented Low-Stress Potluck(*) guidelines -- you have enough stress in your life; going to a party shouldn't add more!
