coming this summer

the_axel, always a forward thinker in the field of getting food drink and friends in the same place at the same time, has announced his plans for his annual birthday party BBQ. This year we actually have a theme. (As opposed to our usual theme, which is a bunch of drunks and a bbq.)

We're going to have to start stocking up on tiki mugs for this one.

I'm keeping that.

I'll pass on the food offered, as it's not my thing, but I'll come by when that parts over with for the drinking :D

We're going to have a grill going as well, since a fair percentage of our friends are veggie types.

Besides, you talk as if both aren't going to be an all-day long kinda thing.

I figure the cooking ends about when people think licking the coals is a good idea from the drink. That's when I shall strike!!!
Or will I?

[the_axel]

You'd be wrong there...

One of highlights(?) of last years event was that one of our friends who had been dying to get a turn at the grill all day was finally able sometime after midnight, by which time he was fucking hammered.

The cooking was fine, but it seems that the alcohol + smoke inhalation gave him the worst hangover ever[1].

[1] Vomiting up stomach calming drugs & sleeping practically the whole way back to Pittsburgh the following afternoon.

Ahhh, I don't mind being wrong when it's on that kinda scale!

I have a set of 9 vintage matching tiki-mugs that you can borrow if you're interested. Oh..and 2 more that I recently was given as well.

Got it!!!

Have already placed this event in my calendar and since it is two months after The Test®, I should be able to make it.

Huge thanks for posting early and planning far into the future. It's the only way I can get things done.

Rawk! We were thinking of you when we picked the weekend.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

That would be fantastic!

Awwwww... I feel all warm and squishy!

[okoshun.livejournal.com]

Cool - let me know when you want me to drop them off.

great place to go for cheap party accesories.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Oh rock! They have some great stuff.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Well... are you coming to the party? :-)

On second thought I'm thinking it would be a bad idea to be using something breakable. They have plastic coconut & pineapple mugs at the store nimrodiel pointed out, they might be safer.

(Last couple parties, glassed did get broken - by me mostly.)

I'm not so good with parties - too much of a wallflower/introvert. I'm the one sitting in the corner acting all shy and eventually leaving early.

Good point about having breakable stuff - plastic might be a better option.
