Mel & I will be holding a housewarming party at our new place on Saturday, February 4th starting around 8pm. Bring your own beverages, we’ll have munchies and quite probably some Karaoke Revolution. This invitation is for people who actually know us and not to random blog-readers (it happens, apparently — my Google PageRank is 5!)
Those of you who have seen the new place might have noted the lack of seating arrangements. Ah, therein lies a story.
When we were moving out, my classmates in my Acting for the Camera course asked if they could move in for the rest of the semester. I pulled some strings with our landlord and got the ok. The main organizer of this, Patrick, asked if we were taking our couches with us. If said that of course we were and he said that if we left them for him, he could get us new couches at The Brick at employee discount.
We checked out the couches they had and loved this red one and decided on getting two rather than a couch+loveseat. Patrick said that he needed to get his manager’s ok on it, and that very weekend he had gone to the hospital and they didn’t know when he’d be back. So we went a few weeks without.
Today I finally got hold of Patrick and he checked with his manager and got the go-ahead. He then checked stock on the couch we wanted and sadly informed me that it had been back-ordered… until LATE APRIL.
I’m half tempted to drive a truck to the old house and load up my old couches and be done with it. Four months without couches? I’m having a fucking housewarming on Saturday — where are people going to sit?!
I’ll cool down as I sleep on it and figure out what I’ll do.
Puck, who are you??? I have two friends from high school, also known as Rob Tarzwell and Andy Zieger, whom I have not heard from since then!! I am sure they have done well for themselves and the world in general. Any chance you could respond and/or let them know I’d like to chat? And what about you? Whooo who?
We won’t bore you with stories about when we were young (and poor) we used orange crates (wood in the old days) and cable drums for tables. For chairs, we asked everyone to bring one (usually a lawn chair) when one had a party as long as you are not worried about the floors.
Options: can rent chairs real cheap at party rental centre.
OK there is the monther-in-law’s input. Keep in touch you guys, Love you lots, Mom
Which Karaoke Revolution discs do you have, and should I bring my own headset tomorrow?
I have both, and have bought *all* the additional songs for Karaoke Revolution Party, which includes almost every one from the first. I have two Karaoke microphones as well, so we’re good to go.
Oh, and Jim, I’m Joe Fulgham. I suppose I should make an “About Me” page… I know Andy and Rob well, and saw both of them only a few weeks ago.
Joe! Holy cow! I remember when you used to make quite a racket on some old drums. Does your honey know all the old dirt about yerself, heh heh? Good to hear from you again! How can we privately swap email addresses on a slightly less public forum?
Congrats on your new place. Moving sucks, I know, be there, dun that! I am presently in Alberta, but won’t apologize because we (honey and I) are plotting to move away again at the soonest time back to BC. Good luck, have fun and say HI! to the gang if they are there, please.
Cheers, Jim
