Stock the Bar Party

If you're thinking that it's just going to be a bunch of college kids sitting around drinking Jaegerbombs and shotgunning beers while getting crazy drunk (or shmammered as they call it), don't worry. That was the apartment next to me at my old place.

Alas, I have moved onwards and upwards in the world. I now live next to young married couples with babies and stuff (as long as they don't cry in public I'm fine...). Instead of banging on my neighbor's doors to get them to stop yelling and doing keg stands at 3:00 in the morning, I now have to worry about grown up things like making sure I take the trash and recycling out on the correct pickup days. Unfortunately I don't have a white picket fence, instead I've been so generously provided with a gravel driveway full of potholes.

To celebrate my new living situation, we're going to have a good ole American cookout with all of the finest meats and cheeses this land has to offer. Dishes aren't necessary, but if you're a fantabulous chef/cook and feel like whipping up some amazing dish that you'd like to share, I can't promise that you'll be taking it home with you.

On the 24th Day of the 9th Month in the Two Thousand & Tenth Year of Our Lord When the Clock Hands made a Vertical Line.

Okay for all you non old-english folks, the party is on September 24th at around 6:00pm. Get here when you can and stay as late as you want. There will be plenty of food and drink to go around. Unfortunately, there's no room for you to stay. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

In the event of rain, hail, sleet, snow, flying pigs, an avalanche, a drought, or a sudden plague of Dengue Fever, you're more than welcome to still come and hangout. However, I'll have moved the official fiesta to the next night, September 25th.

I'm dying to bring something

We're having good ole American cookout food - Burgers, Dogs, Brats & Beer. So you should first of all bring yourself. Next, if you're one of those people that just feels really bad about not bringing a dish to a social gathering, then you're allowed to bring either a dessert or a sidedish. Don't fret about not bringing anything, There will be plenty. If not, I can send my servant, I mean younger brother, Andy off to the store to max out his credit card on the finest delicacies that Fresh Market has to offer.

You do need to bring a sitting apparatus. While I can provide you with all of the food & drink you can stomach, the only place I'm able to provide for you to sit and enjoy that food & drink is my backyard, which consists of the gravel on which I park my car and so do my neighbors. So unless you would like some highly uncomfortable seating, you do need to bring something to sit on. Whether it's a hammock, a small child, a high-tech massaging chair, or just a normal picnic chair, you should bring it. There might be a contest for the coolest chair at the party....Just sayin'.....
