Seems Fitting

Just trying to get this info out to as many people as possible as quickly as possible.

Short notice, not my fault, but Rachael's last Vancouver bru-ha is happening tonight at 8pm at her place on 8th. The apartment is hollow, so feel free to bring folding chairs or cushions.

Houswarming for Rodney

Something Happening

Prior to Chinee Foo on Sunday May 6, 2007, the Jolly Rodger will host a rough* and tumble* Cinco de Mayo.

Byob and all smoking of all things will take place in the back alley. Tap on the window or ring buzzer 103.

8pm until everyone is sick and tired of each other (or Chinee Foo happens).

And WHY do we have four tags for alcohol consumption on here?!

St. Patties Day Party Pix

Here.

Can't Get a Date to the Prom?

Or, tickets, for that matter?

Well, there is an alternative activity happening on Valentines Day (this Wednesday) that also sounds super fun. Lee & I will be there, probably around 8pm. Feel free to call or email or post if you're interested and we can try to work out a meeting place.

Address: Ukranian Cultural Center
805 East Pender (at Hawks, right by Bob's house)

I know some of you might be puzzled by the fact that I am daring to socialize on a weeknight. The short answer is that I now get to work normal hours, so you should be seeing a lot more of me in the future.

My Birthday.

The Big Three-Oh.

Friday February 2nd.


My place. Plans: Chill with my peeps.

Starts at 8, BYOB and friends (and presents for me, duh.)

Please come.


(also, thinking of picking up an Elvis platter or something like that before hand. Anyone down?)

The People's Prom

So, I was just wondering, you know, if you would, um, maybe like to, uh, go to the prom with me?

Tickets go on sale today, and they will sell out fast. Let's have sexy fun time! Very nice!!!

Reminder: Brenton and Lindsey B-day Saturday!

Just a reminder that there will be a birthday celebration for Brenton and Lindsey this Saturday at Kat, Lindsey, Jaime et al's house this Saturday night (I know, et al, haven't met the fourth roommate). If you know either of them, enjoy karaoke or just want to be social that evening, I highly recommend you get the address from Kat.

I've been asked to host Karaoke for them and will be updating the song list with the February discs (which include most top 10 spanning different genres up to the first week of January). Check with Kat on the start time, I imagine 7-7:30pm.

Nerd Party!

It looks as though I am getting my two extra wiimotes today or tomorrow! I would've liked to have had 4 remotes, but Wii Play comes out next month and it comes with an extra wiimote.

I'd like to schedule a Wii Party for Saturday late afternoon prior to going to Body Worlds (that forces us to leave around 8:30 to get dinner and to Science World in a timely fashion).

I'm thinking of being ready for gaming around 3:30-4pm. Earlier birds will get guaranteed play time on the game(s) of their choice. Multiplayer games (number of people able to play at one time) as as follows:

Need for Speed Carbon (2)
Elebits (3 - limited to number of wiimotes)
Rayman Raving Rabbids (3 - limited to number of wiimotes)
Wii Sports (2, 3, or 4 - one wiimote is shared for bowling, boxing is 2-player only)

I do not have Zelda: Twilight Princess at this time as I have leant it out in exchange for Need for Speed.

House rules are as follows:

1. The wrist strap stays on all the time.
2. Mach 10 speeds are not required for the system to recognize your movements.
3. Share. I may have troubles adhering to this one, but I'll try.
4. The wrist strap stays on all the time.

Anyway, let me know if you're interested, feel free to bring snacks or drinks as dinner will be late.

Ain't No Party Like a Clubhouse Party

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.

So... About the party...

It's still on, but I will warn you:

it's like an xmas party, only easier...

aka, CHINEEFOO X-MAS EDITION

paul mentioned getting together for the foo while he's in town. I'm proposing meeting up at noon sunday (the 24th). I have confirmed they are open. we can meet up and watch paul finish TWO big bowls of congee all by himself this time!

we'll be there at noon, at the big table in the back...

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.


Saturday December 23, 2006
8pm onwards into the night.

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).

EFS After Party / Halloween Party!!

When: FRIDAY, Oct 27th
Where: Kat's place (18th & Columbia, address will be in the forum)
What: Halloween Party!

Aparently Kat's new place used to be quite notorious for their Halloween parties, so they've decided to resurect the tradition!

Times to follow, but it's a party so no one's gonna show up until after 9pm anyways. For those attending the Monster Mash, we'll all trundle our butts down after the movie.

Woo!

Monster Mash - Oct 27th!

Hey Kids!

Have Halloween weekend plans yet? Well, now you do!

What - Evil Film School's First Annual Monster Mash

When - Friday Oct 27th

Doors - 7pm

Admission - $5 - $10 sliding scale

It's a Halloween Party with a horror shorts program, costume contest (with AWESOME) prizes and of course, the main attraction: The Monster Squad [1987]. Directed by Fred Dekker (House, Night of the Creeps) and written by Shane Black (Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang; Leathal Weapon), this is sure to be a major nostalgia fest for many of our regulars.

Remember, costumes are manditory, and if you don't have your own, one may be provided for you.

Shorts start at 7:30pm, costume contest stars at 8:30pm and The Monster Squad will be on around 9pm. Bring your friends!!

Prizes provided by Fright Rags and Happy Bats Cinema! Thanks guys!
