Halloween Shindig Details

Okay gang, I'm back. Back in the US of A. Who is ready to party? Come one come all...please see October 18th's post about my hallowed Halloween Bash. Simply put, if you read my blog, you are invited. By Mae and Angeline's request, costumes ARE mandatory. That is, of course, if you understand that this is not a high-school kegger. Bring a friend/lover/chapparone or two, no more, no less. If you need my phone # to prevent getting lost, please email me at don@itsmegatime.com. Otherwise, see you anytime after 7.

    We should arrive sometime around 8-30. We are bringing Scary Cakes with Scream Filling, White Russians for the group, and Champers for me. Matt, who does not drink alcohol, will have soda. We will be in costume. So when I walk in the door, I don't want to hear any jackass comments like, "Mae, I thought you said you were going to wear a costume." It IS a costume, I don't dress like that in my everyday life OR my private life. Well not to THAT extreme anyway! ANd neither does Matt, so don't get any ideas! Phht! It's make believe. Silly silly silly fun. Don, I am really saddened this won't be a high school kegger, as I have never attended a kegger and was hoping someone would moon me or give me nuggies or whatever it is that goes on at keggers. Glad to see you are back in the country and safe. We will see you at your party. Are you scared yet?

    Don, I want your number, not for party details, just to call you and so I can scam on some of that European vibe you've got goin on. It's tres sexeee, babeee. Damn, how come none of you are awake at 1am when I am? I am wide awake and really hungry. I think someone needs to come over here and take me to Uncle Bill's for some chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. Those items are not on my diet. But you wouldn't tell anyone, would you? Sigh.. fine, I will go to bed now and stare at Matt as he sleeps and hope he wakes up and entertains me. This isn't going to happen, as MAtt sleeps like a rock. Rocks are hard sleepers. Hard as rocks. ACK! I'm so bored, I'm going insane. Going? You're already there. Is it time to party yet?

    To those that I've met already, I don't think there will be a ferret sighting at tonight's soiree.

    Two reasons:

    First we had stuff come up that prevented us from going costume shopping. We were going to try to go today, but last minute costumes are difficult at best. Second, I have never met the host and don't know anything about him. I don't even know his blog address. Since it said if you read it, you're invited, that leaves me out. Plus, I would be a bit uncomfortable showing up to party at the home of someone I've never met. We haven't even been introduced, we're total strangers.

    So have fun tonight, and I'll catch up with the gang at AP on Wednesday. I'll probably be offline the rest of the day, so I'll read all about the party tomorrow.

    I'm still not sure about tonight--it sort of depends on the POB...

    Argh. Don't bail out the last minute girl...
Submitted by leesa at 10/25/2002 10:32:55 AM
    I'm not sure, either. melf has class in the morning, and doesn't want to go out tonight. I don't have shoes. :(
Submitted by drew at 10/25/2002 10:41:43 AM
    mae and angeline are gonna be pissed if all of you guys bail.
Submitted by asoon at 10/25/2002 10:43:45 AM
    Pissed is too strong of a word. Let's just say it's the whole stlbloggers group atmosphere that makes the gathering much more fun.
Submitted by bumr at 10/25/2002 10:48:07 AM
    tempe's already entertaining the step-parentage. i'll be joining her tonight... i'll think about y'all imbibing without me.
Submitted by drew at 10/25/2002 10:51:13 AM
    I was promised pictures, so don't forget your cameras.
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 10:58:38 AM
    Pissed, no. Sad I won't be seeing some of my fav bloggers tonight, yes. I am still very excited about tonight! I am so pleased that Don is gracious enough to throw a party the day after returning from Europe. I still cannot believe Don was willing to do this for us, and open the party up to people he barely knows. When Don says that you can bring a friend, he meant it. So Freddy Ferret, as my friend, and as someone who knows how to behave himself in other people's homes, I am of the strong opinion that even DOn would feel you would make a lovely addition to his party. I think everyone who is free tonight should take a few moments out just to stop by and say hello. And if not, email Don a nice note and thank him for the invite. Or stop by and bring him a bottle of his favorite wine. Wow, I HAVE turned into my mother! I know how stressful it is to open your home for parties for people you KNOW much less almost or complete strangers. And with that, I am off my hostess with the mostess soapbox. Now, who's ready to party??? (In a non kegger manner)
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 11:03:42 AM
    Oh and one more thing. The party starts at 7pm. Even if you have to wake up early the next day, you can have at least three to four hours of party time and still get a good night's sleep. You won't get to drink until your eyes cross, but it's not that kind of party anyway. So phhht. No excuses! I just won't accept them! Wow, look at me. It isn't even my party. I will shut up now.
Submitted by cybrpunk at 10/25/2002 11:16:24 AM
    So will there be anyone there except me, Angeline, Mae and Matt and Don???

    You lame ass bastards with the goofball excuses better get your booties in gear and party.

    What about Melissa, and Ko in his orange bedsheet?
Submitted by cybr at 10/25/2002 11:24:04 AM
    Oh yeah I forgot Ko. Melissa is coming too? Cool. I'm sure Don's friends will probably be there too.
Submitted by rev_matt at 10/25/2002 11:26:30 AM
    I'll be in costume, so screw all y'all non-costume wearing lusers. Joe said he was coming. Bruce and GF will be there.

    How hard is it to go pick up a damn $5 mask at Walgreens?
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 11:28:57 AM
    Ko is sick with a cold.
Submitted by leesa at 10/25/2002 11:30:15 AM
    Okay, with my considerable charm, I've managed to persuade Melf that we should go tonight. I told him we could take 2 cars in case I really get into party mode. :D
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 11:32:37 AM
    I think the people who are coming sound like a fun group to hang out with anyway.
Submitted by christy at 10/25/2002 11:36:40 AM
    i guess if nothing else i could drop in for awhile...Matt: it is very difficult for agoraphobics who live in Soulard to get to Walmart to buy a $5 mask. If this par-tay weren't in the city, I'd probably not make it at all...
Submitted by kofuzi at 10/25/2002 11:38:21 AM
    i will not be in attendance. i probably could muster the energy to go, but having a cold and having a job that requires absolute sterility is not a good mix. i don't even smoke during the day at work. anyway, gotta kick the cold.
    it's a shame, too. because i was going to get my orange bedsheet. and i was going to be the dhalai lama. and i was going to go up to people and introduce myself as, "hi. i'm the dhalai lama. but you can call me D."
    maybe i will buy an orange bed sheet anyway. because i think it would be great to do that on the Loop at a time of year when it is not halloween.
Submitted by kofuzi at 10/25/2002 11:42:26 AM
    not that kind of sterility.
    sterile. as in really clean.

    hehehe. words are funny.
Submitted by leesa at 10/25/2002 11:50:27 AM
    Ko, if you come, I will bring you zinc lozenges and vitamin C. You can sleep tomorrow.
Submitted by asoon at 10/25/2002 12:25:18 PM
    Mae: just FYI, when I arrive, I might not look as if I'm wearing a costume, the reason being, you're going to fix my hair for me there. Right?
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 2:27:33 PM
    Yes, I will fix your hair. Don't forget scissors!
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 2:28:21 PM
    Alright, I am checking in to see if the people coming are wearing costumes or not. Becuase I am going to start getting ready and I don't want to glue on silver metallic fingernails for nothing.
Submitted by asoon at 10/25/2002 2:34:21 PM
    Yes. and I am painting my nails too. Though no glitter. just regular color. I was doing my toes this morning and nearly slide off the toilet seat (lid down, that is). Anyways, I an inept at preparing myself for halloween I realized. Bah.
Submitted by UrbanGuy at 10/25/2002 2:37:48 PM
    Um, guys, this party is also for my many other friends. There will be about 25+ in attendance. Anyone that thinks they will have a good time is invited. If you have not met me, tonight would be a good chance to. Come along...if only for a few hours.

    Like I said, however, there will be a rather large, diverse group of folks there...many new faces to meet.

    Don

    Ok I will go polish my boots. There is a lot of boot to polish. Then I have to untangle some chains. There are a lot of chains to untangle. The best part about wearing a wig is that I don't have to do my hair. Can I start getting excited yet? Can I get a woohoo? HAlloween fun? WOOHOO?
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 2:40:04 PM
    Yaaaaay Don! Cannot wait to meet your friends. I hope they are not offended by our costumes. If you are a serious Catholic, you might not want to look directly at us for the entire night.
Submitted by cybrpunk at 10/25/2002 2:45:21 PM
    My only question now is: Will Don's non-blog friends be showing up in costume? Or will it be VERY obvious which ones at the party have web sites?
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 2:49:24 PM
    Don, do you have champagne flutes or wine glasses? Or should I bring one for my drinkee poo?
Submitted by UrbanGuy at 10/25/2002 2:49:58 PM
    nope, the invite was the same for everyone. and i have persuaded everyone who RSVP'd that costumes are required or that you would 'be the minority and an outcast' if you chose not to wear one. you guys are far to worried...it will be a costume-filled evening :)
Submitted by cybrpunk at 10/25/2002 2:53:56 PM
    I just hope I don't hurt anyone with my sword tonight....
Submitted by rev_matt at 10/25/2002 2:54:09 PM
    What CybrSugr is really asking is: "Will it be obvious to everyone that I'm a computer geek regardless of what costume I wear?"

    ;)

    Should I be alarmed that the face cream I am currently using makes my lips go numb?
Submitted by asoon at 10/25/2002 3:14:18 PM
    Good grief girl, what are you putting on your face?
Submitted by maemidwest at 10/25/2002 3:34:37 PM
    Well, during our money crunch time, I was FORCED to buy $5 dollar face cream instead of the $40 cream I usually use. Oh it was just TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE I TELL YOU! I threw the biggest fit. No, actually I am really good about money. When we can afford the niceies, I get nice stuff. BUt this summer, we were very po' from supporting two households. I am going to trot my happy ass over to Galleria and get the stuff that doesn't cause my lips to go numb, sometime this weekend. That should not happen with face cream. Ok, just polished my boots and got shoe polish all over my hands, face, clothes,and the floor. Matt needs to come home soon before I destroy the house.

i assume you are aware that twitter has stopped showing pings. i really liked that feature, and i am hoping you are trying to fix it! :)

I'm also having a pinging issue -- when I ping (and I use firefox) I have to log in, ping, go to the main page, log in again, and ping again.

Stlbloggers is living on a temporary server which isn't honoring cookies for more than half an hour.

I'll kick it this weekend.

I can log in, but when I ping, it tells me I have an invalid user name.

Before the outage, I never had to re-login from the computers I use most often. I don't think I entered a password for months. Now I have to login everytime before I can ping. Maybe its a different symptom of the same issue?

Ever since that "mostly dead" incident, I have to log out then log back in every time I want to ping. Is this happening to anyone else, or just me?
