2006 kinda sucked. Drink it away and start 2007 with a hangover!
The clubhouse's first official party in over a year.
New Years Eve, BYOB, Friends and Such.
Start around 8-9. Bring Food please. In Return I will try my hardest to tidy up the damn place. Oh when will I find the time.
Mike if you are interested in kjing, let me know what you need and I will try to accomodate. Not much space for it, but what the heck.

Christmas Party
Hey, I have been meaning to do a lot more than I have. The following is a list of things meant to be done this year but have miserably failed:
1. Christmas cards. A shout out to those who actually got their shit in gear and got the cards out. Props go far to Mariko for sending hers the earliest. It also helps that I only raked in a scant 6 or so addresses, and was going to scout out theother dozen or so friend cards and another dozen or so family cards. So... I have your cards, they're just at my place.
2. Along with said cards were going to be Christmas party invitations. Really cool ones with instructions and possibly pirate themed. As you can see that I got left at the design phase. I can poop out a mailout in about 4 hours, but here, we are, more than 4 hours later, and no invitations.
3. Plan a hand-made gift exchange. I suppose there is still time to do that, but I'm thinking the gifts might be a little on the scrimpy side with such short notice.
4. Bake cookies! Again, while there might be time, there are other pending issues needing to be done (like actually acquiring Christmas gifts and wrapping them in time). Maybe I'll make New Year's cookies.
Instead, I beat Zelda: Twilight Princess and set up my tree. I made handmade ornaments for it to make sure it wasn't sparsely decorated (even after making a bunch of ornaments, it was still naked, so I bought some extras).
BUT NOW! I am ready and prepared to announce a Christmas party that has yet to be officially announced. A few weeks back I sent out a "it's coming this night" email to a bunch of you, and to wait for further instructions (Which were going to be in the mail, but... number one thing of things I didn't do). But I still love you all, even if I've been socially hibernating (sometimes unintentionally).
In conclusion: Come to my party on Saturday. Bring your egg nogs, your rum, your hot toddies, your friends, your plus-ones, your parents (if they've got nothing better to do), something to drink, a snack to share if you can (veggies, dips, chips, crackers & cheese, etc.), and last but not least: yourselves. Also: gift wrapped empty boxes so my tree looks way less humiliating are being accepted. I also have no problem with people exchanging gifts among each other and if there is enough of a interest, I can set aside a time when that will happen.
Core group, I ask that you give me a solid RSVPASAP as it'll give me a mini-gift head count.

Corinne and me with the Decemberists
It's a good thing we all like having Japanese food for dinner, so we can run into them, get them a round of sake, and have a pleasant little meet and greet.

New Year's Resolution
Bean, Scott, Jenn, Graeme, Christine and Kat are hereby resolved to attend writing club regularly. Rachael is hereby resolved to put a little more effort into it and arrange things a little earlier and better.
I have decided to start up the writing club anew next year as we have been derailed from regular meetings since November.
Too come: exciting new activities and a far better drill sergeant (especially for herself).

Communications Snafu
I have helpfully left my phone charger at my mum's and am subsequently sans mobile until friday night when my mother can drop if off for me.
Therefore if you are in need of contact with me you are going to have email me (email in forum), not that there is likely to be any urgent reason to reach me before Friday but...y'know...just in case.
lots of love,
R

Naked Tree Party
Hey Everybody!
So, I finally have a place big enough to support a "real" Christmas tree & I'm all jazzed on getting one. Thing is, I don't have any decorations to go on my cool new properly sized Christmas tree. This is where you guys come in. I'll provide the food & some drinks, you make/bring the ornaments. I'll have lots of craft stuff available for making paper chains & I'll pop some popcorn to make garlands. Vince Guaraldi Trio optional. Low key, no stress. Come for a little or a long time, any time after 7pm on Friday, December 15th.
Hope to see you there,
~meeko

Party on December 16th AT KAT's! (and Lindsay's et al)
I'll bring the Karaoke setup and some dessert. I'll be updating the song selection this weekend and printing addendums next week.
I'll try to organize a couple of smaller events at my place this month, perhaps a screening of "city of lost children" and a trial run of the first "cooking group" (TBA, think writing group but with utencils instead of pen and paper...err...laptop...equally educational though).
