DH Festivus party -- 12/15 at Soda

Soda knows we'll be there for Festivus. (horray)
while there is no exchange of gifts, what should we bring/do, aside from what has already been enumerated on the board?

And look, for next year we should get a real Festivus pole.

It's kind of ironic that the site specifies that the idea behind the "unadorned aluminum pole" is "in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees."

Finally, there's this:

Feats of strength challenge cards, airing of grievances worksheets, you name it! Awesome!!!! :twisted:

Thanks for the http://www.festivuspoles.com plug. We've tried to be very careful as to that very fine line of providing a pole but not being overly commercial about it. Frankly, we never went into this project for the money. We most likely will lose money on this overall but we have had a lot of fun and many laughs As a Brooklyn College alum, I know Brooklyn is the perfect place for a Festivus celebration.

The main reason I'm posting is that the New York Post has contacted me and they are looking to talk to people in NYC who are celebrating Festivus. Looks like you guys are doing it tomorrow night and he's got a Friday morning deadline for the Sunday edition. Send me an e-mail if you are interested in sharing your stories and I will pass the contact information on to you. E-mail me at [email protected].

Enjoy the party.

I dunno what time people are going to start showing, but I'm figuring on grabbing a bite to eat at Soda somewhere around 6:30-7:00. If you don't have anything better to do than to show up early, but you don't know who the hell I am, feel free to email me.

See y'all tonight.

ill see you guys around 930 or so..

I'm going to see Chocolate Genius backed by with MeShell NdegeOcello and Marc Ribot. It's an accoustic set at Housing Works bookstore tonight . . . how cool is that?

I'll be on the last train out of Manhattan...

That does sound cool! These sorts of things tend to go on until too late really. ..so drop by and we might be in the same old spot.

Yeah me too. Stacey, you rock. Thank you for enabling my flourishing potomania! My liver loves you. Happy Festivus!

pot-o-mania? man, if I knew it was gonna be that kinda party, i might have worked a little harder to finish this paper ahead of time.

note: it's still not done, but I now know more than anyone really should about the social and cultural implications of ghostbusters.
