the invitation:
Yep Folks,
The rumours are (this time) indeed true.
A mid-winter bacchanalian orgy of sumptuous delights takes place at the Presbytery on Saturday 25th June.
This is the day after the longest night of the year, just after Caroline has finished her exams, just before James goes away, Dan is actually in town, Sumu doesn’t have something terribly important to organise (for a day or two anyway) and it’s Brownie’s birthday (more or less). So… The planets align, The household prepares, the invites are sent, the DJ’s are thronging through customs, the Class A’s neatly circumnavigating the same…
And…
You are invited to a party.
It’s gonna be a little different this time – we propose a large dinner with dancing to follow, fireworks when it seems appropriate. This is with the aim of reducing the number of ‘randoms’ a little and trying in vain to prove that we are actually growing up into more mature, sophisticated individuals (!).
There is no specific theme but some form of dress-up is mandatory. Sumu will be coming as a Moose – I will probably be there as my usual crossdressing Space/Pirate/Pimp thing – or something so… please make the evening special for yourself and those you encounter by assuming the gestalt of a different form for the night. Suits are acceptable.
Dinner begins at 8:00pm. We cannot hope to accommodate in terms of food for everyone – so please – bring a plate of food or some form of significant contribution to the feast. Whole pigs, boxes of mangos, cases of caviar, blinis, and sharks lip soup all welcome.
Also Spirits – yes it will be a cocktail party. So… some people will receive specific requests for what to bring to stock the bar with all the requirements to generate some potent booze for the night. We will have a roster of bar staff and a set menu of fluffy things to order. Otherwise – just bring booze – one bottle of spirits between two people is a good guide. No sherry!
M.V.P’s will all be there. S.O’s are welcome. C.F’s encouraged. The occasional extra gladly accepted – but let’s keep it a little tighter this time than last.
See you there.
The Presbytery Crew.
