Really, I'll stop inviting you to this party soon. :)

[jbsegal]

Kimberly has asked me to make sure her version of the invite gets wider distribution, so here it goes :) (with a few minor corrections)  :

Bring your sense of whimsy & plenty of hugs to help us celebrate JB's 40th birthday on Saturday, October 27th at the Silber-Lefton house between 2p.-the wee hours. Note location is Melrose, not GLSE. We hope that the timeframe allows folks to attend in a way that accomodates other social events & family schedules. Come early, come late, come & go - whatever works for you.

Costumes are encouraged but not required. Small prizes will be awarded for most creative, funniest &
Gorey-esque attire (aim for the neat mix of Victorian-Goth featured in much of Edward Gorey's art & work).
JB will also have a big bowl of treats for anyone who wants to trick-or-treat but those not in costume may have to tell him a joke or perform a magic trick for their treat! We will also entertain suggestions for new nicknames for JB, though he reserves veto rights.

I'll be providing some soup, bread, cheese, other assorted munchables, spiced cider, etc. There will be birthday cake, likely served around 8:30p. {Mostly, though, this is a potluck. Feel free to bring something, but also remember to take it with you.}

Kids are welcome. No smoking. Please be respectful of the space, stuff, people & pets of the house. The Silber-Leftons are graciously loaning us their home for this party - if you have questions for a host, please see Kimberly or Sam.

Mushrooms, Bell Peppers, Olives. Thanks for asking. :)

I hate mushrooms and olives and only like red bell peppers, not green ones. I should eat with you more often! *grin*

I may show up...can you send me an address to jadia at livejournal? Or you can use my MIT address if you know it.

Happy birthday. :-)

I got home late-ish and tired from errand running, and as I was pulling into the parking spot, I hit the curb and gave my car a flat.

I cleaned up from this adventure, grabbed my stuff from the car, shut the car door, and turned to go towards my house. I then promptly dropped a six pack of Flying Dog Old Scratch Amber on the sidewalk, where it became a heap of beer-spraying broken glass.

I figured that the world was suddenly out to get me, even before I noticed that *both* of my shoes chose *while I was going up the stairs with the remaining six pack of beer* to come untied (fortunately no further calamity ensued). That being the case, I realized that if I set out for your place I would undoubtedly drive one of my three remaining tires over a shard of Flying Dog beer bottle.

Here's hoping that I've gotten the bad luck out of the way for both of us and that things will be looking up from here on.

For halloween this year I will be: "ready to fall over"

Damn. Glad you survived.

Even if you were just making this up, I think you've got a good enough Get Out Of Party Free excuse with this. Oy.

Sorry. (and about the battery the next day...)

... :( it being nearly 1am, and we being semi-nut-cases, it looks like we're not going to make it over there tonight. :(( i hope you had a fabulous time, exactly what you want your birthday party to be, and i will give and collect a hug very soon, i hope (and expect).

all the best to you, and to kimberly (and a hug to her from me if you see this before i do.).
