Party Central?

[dagibbs]

So, does anyone want to throw a party at my place the weekend of March 19-21? Cause, everyone other March weekend I'm venueing at least one party. :)

(Or am I going to have to throw a party that weekend? Hm... maybe I need to find an excuse for a party. )

Spring equinox is March 20.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Hm... that's an idea... a "welcome the spring" party.

I'll be in Winchester.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

That's about an hour south of here, I think.

[c-crockett.livejournal.com]

It's in England.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Ah, Winchester England. There is, actually, a Winchester Ontario about an hour south of Ottawa.

Have fun in England.

Can I throw a party there on the 19th that doesn't start till 11:00 pm?

Or I could throw one on the 21st!

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Both sound possible. What sort of party were you planning to throw?

[beable]

Oh sure, now you are going to make me think!

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

I'm a bad, bad, man. ;)

[beable]

I have two suggestions for the MArch 19th:

Either it could be a party to celebrate National Chocolate Caramel Day or it could be "Beable thinks any day is a good excuse for port" party.

Ragnhildr (who would be exceedingly unlikely to attend) also speculated that you would be relatively likely to throw a pre-party.

I'd say that chocolate caramel and port work together as themes, but as I tend to think of caramel as something that goes with milk chocolate, I am uncertain. I think if the caramel is slightly salty they well might.

And of course, I am partially being silly about the plausibility of "throw a party at David's that doesn't start till 11". But any port in the storm, right?

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

National Chocolate Caramel Day sounds really yummy. And, you know, I think it would go well with Port.

Pre-party? You're suggesting that if you planned to have an 11pm party, I might throw a warm-up party, say, from 9-11 or something like that? Hm... could happen.

You may think of caramel going with milk chocolate -- and it can. But it can also work very nicely with a medium dark chocolate, too. (Where, I guess, I see 55-60% cocoa as "medium dark". )

So, if you're partially being silly...that implies that you're partially being serious? What percent silly, and what percent serious? :)

[beable]

Serious if you are on board with crazy party times?

We can talk about it Sunday after I get back to town - either I'll see you at Dominion Day or I'll call you Sunday night. (and then I can post an invite on Sun or Mon)

I can probably acquire good salty chocolate caramels, either from Soma while I'm in Toronto or from that place in Hull that I'll ask niall_ to remind me the name of.

I haz a port, and will probably be able to acquire more.

I suspect party turnout would be better if you did throw a warmup party, not that "House of Flail, Beable, Dagibbs, and other Night Owls" would not ourselves a party make left just to our own devices - we totally would.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

I am 100% on board with crazy party times. 11pm-5am? I can party like that. :)

I can supply some supplementary port. Of course. How could I not?

I expect to make it to the evening session of Dominion day -- if mnv will return an email with his address. (Or, I get it from ironphoenix.)

I think clinkerfiasco might qualify as another of the night-owls set. Also, commodorified will be out of town.

Once you announce the party, I can announce the pre-party. :)

[beable]

MNV actually posted it to ironphoenix's thread about dominion - he lives very near me.

I'll send it to you in e-mail.

I'll make a party post! Yayyyyyy!

I am going to Montreal tomorrow and big SAQs (like the ones on Jean-Talon). Is there anything available there you'd like me to bring back, port-wise, which couldn't be available locally?

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Not that I can name off-hand. There's an SAQ Depot in Hull (for the cheap volume stuff) and an SAQ Select near clinkerfiasco's place that has quite a nice selection -- but, really, if I'm shopping for interesting Port, I have to actually do the shopping.

And, right now, I really don't need to be shopping for more Port. I've probably got about 15 bottles in my front room, and then another 10 or so in my back room.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

But, thank you for the offer.

Aren't you already booked for something Saturday night that weekend? :)

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Yup, I am. Hm... my place hasn't had a mercury spill. ;)

[beable]

A hit, a very palpable hit!

[http://users.livejournal.com/niall_/]

I cleaned up the spill... wouldn't have invited people otherwise.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm not actually worried about it.

[kali-kali.livejournal.com]

I'm going to (hopefully) be in town that weekend to see queenie_writes before she takes off to Edmonton. Arriving Saturday morning, leaving Monday.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Cool. Did you want to throw a party at my place? Maybe on Sunday? :)

[kali-kali.livejournal.com]

Not sure about a party, but if Q is up for it, I may be interested in gaming. My parents don't like Dominion as much as I do ;)

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Sunday next weekend does look free for gaming. Sounds like a fun idea, and Dominion could, definitely, happen.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Let me know; early next week would be good timing for letting me know.

[queenie-writes.livejournal.com]

We could have a gaming party on that Sunday, I'd be cool with it. Invite the usual suspects and I'll bring the Kitten.

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

I like that plan! The weather looks rainy anyway.

[metalana.livejournal.com]

you know, maybe someone else in town wants to host a party... maybe you'd like to go to a party hosted elsewhere...

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Actually, someone else is having a party that weekend that I'm attending.

And, in fact I'm also going to a party hosted somewhere else this coming weekend, too.

It does happen. ;)
