hosue warming

[baratron]

After much delay and faffage, we are pleased to announce a date for our house warming party. It is:
Saturday 16th October, from 5pm onwards

Events will include:
CAKE!
Multiplayer console games (console to be decided).
Write your own obscene fridge poetry (after 8pm).
Some kind of board game (probably Cranium, as that works well in teams and doesn't require too much brain).
Fluxx and/or other card games (to be decided, & depending on what people bring).
Striptease by wuzzie[*].
Waffles & ice-cream.

* Party will go on in 4 rooms including the kitchen, so there will be some rooms with music and/or games and others that are quiet for talking. Lots of space means you can also clump into little cliques and not talk to anyone outside your social group, if you want ;)
* No smoking anywhere on pain of pain (non-consensual). If you want to smoke, you can go and stand on the pavement, and we will laugh at you (especially if it's raining).
* Vast quantities of junk food will be provided, mostly vegan. Would appreciate prior notification of food allergies, especially anyone who is allergic to soy/soya or severely gluten intolerant.
* Soft drinks will be provided but you'll have to bring your own alcohol.
* Kids welcome until 8pm.
* Parking nearby is extremely limited until 6.30pm & costs us money. It's free after 6.30.
* We live ~10 minutes walk (downhill) from Norbiton railway station or ~10 minutes walk (flat) from either of the Kingston bus stations.

Are you coming?

I'll bring the other two from HOP ... probably some real milk for tea/coffee etc. ... maybe Scrabble, if I can find it ... I ticked MEAT not because I am planning to bring meat as such, but because any food I might bring would probably not be vegetarian or vegan. (or at least not guaranteed as such) Then again, I could bring some frankfurter sausages and some finger rolls for hot dogs - if that would be acceptable?

Don't worry too much about bringing milk - Richard remains thoroughly omnivorous, and I am not allergic to dairy products in my fridge :) If you want to bring some hot dogs feel free - I haven't really thought about hot food yet but it'll probably be tomato pasta, with chicken and salad available as extra or alternative.

We own Scrabble but tend not to play it at parties because we know lots of dyslexics or bad spellers who get intimidated by it, although in a house this size it should be much easier to have different activities so people can avoid things they don't want to do. If you wanted to bring your Scrabble set we could maybe do some sort of complicated 8 player variant - for some reason that is appealing to me quite a lot ;D
