2nd Annual Brooklynian FESTIVUS party - 12/21 8pm @Soda

edited November -1 in Prospect Heights
We are pleased to announce another Festivus party, complete with feats of strength, airing of grievances, and (if we get our act together this year) a Festivus pole. Yeah, basically it's like a regular happy hour only Festivus-themed. :P

Location will depend on how many people want to come, so please let us know if you are interested and free on the 21st.

    For nostalgia, last year's Festivus thread:

    At least we skipped the date debate this year! :wink:

    Read the thread from last year (above). There's extensive discussion of the origins and details of this exquisite holiday.

    Should we buy a pole? The 6' one from the site Andy found last year is $38. Since I'm back in school I don't really feel like shelling out (plus, I really don't want to store it) but maybe some other kind/silly soul will be interested?

    Otherwise I guess we could just get something from Pintchik's or wherever. But it would be nice to have a stand.

    There was leftover cash from last week's happy hour. I was saving it to buy the first round of drinks at the next happy hour, but I could also use it to buy the Festivus pole if people prefer.

    couldn't we just buy a broomstick
    and wrap it in aluminum foil and there would be our festivus pole? :-s

    If we are not sticking to tradition I have something we can use, it's not aluminum, but it should get the job done. We're actually having a festivus hash the night before...I stoled it from ya.

    I'd love to come, but it will depend on whether or not I go into labor before that. If I'm still pregnant on the 21st, I'll try to come.

    Wow, that is quite possibly the tackiest website I have ever seen in my life. If you doubt my word, look at their baby t-shirts.

    So does anyone have an opinion on whether I should order the Festivus pole? If we want to have it for the 21st, I have to order it soon!
    Otherwise, the cash goes towards the first round of drinks...

    I'm pretty neutral, especially since I'm likely to miss the first round :(

    You'll get one on me when you show up if we don't get the pole.

    one vote for a festivus pole
    how much does it weigh? :-s

    I wouldn't bother with the festivus pole - seems like a waste of perfectly good beverage money. I vote you buy me an extra special spritzer, instead.
  • emily

    I vote for the pole because we meant to have one last year and just didn't get around to it, and because if we're going to do this, we should do it right!

    Armchair, you have to make a sizable donation to The Human Fund.

    If we don't get the pole, you can just add that to the list of grievances. And I'm not tryin' to get fresh with you, but do you qualify as the head of the household in Andy's absence? You might want to rethink this "do it right!" mantra! :P

    I vote no on the pole tax. We can use anything, and that sort of commercialism is in violation of the spirit of festivus!
