| The Reclaim The Forum Party
Avon - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 04-1 1 am: Okay, at Jules' kind invitation I've just moved the party was planning
down here from where it was under the Virtual Tim Tam break. S0000oooo...
Fancy dress? Anyone fancy that? I've got to get to wear my sergeant’s stripes one day, you know. Maybe someone should alert the police? Of course, we could just invite them. :0) Avon
Hobbes - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 07:30 am: Fireworks! Wahey!!!! I'm on the case. Hmmm, with this stockpile I should be able to make something useful. *BANG!* Uh oh..... Perhaps I shouldn't have lit that particular concoction so close to the wheelie bin... *KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM* Well, no fireworks, will a bonfire do? And don't get too close, those exploding ammunition cases can get real lively, Hobbes
sisteranna - Saturday, June 17, 2000 07:32 am: *phew* I made it! What a fabulous excuse to pop on my new party dress and high heels Have taken care of the alcoholic supplies cos I can mix a mean drink. Cocktails anyone? The Tony 0 look-a-like bartenders I've hired will be serving tequila and vodka slammers between midnight and dawn for anyone who's still standing. Did anyone remember to organise the music???
liz - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 07-.38 am: If this doesn't post *this* time, I'm taking my chocolate caramel slice, and my bottle of gin and going home! Hobbes and fireworks?? You'll find me hiding behind that beanbag
over there!
cam - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 08:16am Well, I've just been to a CD sale. All Cds $10.
So "Please Don't Go" (KC & The Sunshine Band)and "Dance Little Lady Dance" (Tina Charles) Cam - your DJ for the night
liz - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 08:48 am: They're selling Chris Deakin? *elbows everyone out of the way*, oh that's
not the CD you
cam - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 09:12 am: Actually, "Let's Stick Together" (Bryan Ferry) is playing at the moment - which is rather significant given the state of forum at the moment. Oh dear Liz, have another drink - someone's just posted a message saying Deakin is leaving. (More wine over here please!) Cam
Phar Lap - Saturday, June 17, 2000 Ol.-56 pm: YAH YAH YAH, I made it. Where do you want the Stollies?
I have some tim tams also (thought they might get me in if it was invitation
only)
Starstruck - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 02:15 pm I'd rather keep Donny Osmond to myself, if you don't mind Cam.
Is it safe to have fireworks in a tent, Hobbes? If its true Deakin's
leaving, the sparks may be flying already.
sisteranna - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 02-.20 pm: Uh-oh, watch out, I'm in *full* party mode now. Cam, do you have
"When I grow up" by Garbage in- your collection? "When I grow up,
I'll be stable, when I grow up, I'll dance on tables" D'oh that's not how
it goes, but it's a jolly good idea.
sisteranna - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 02-.30 pm: Stollie=Stolichnya Vodka and lemon mixer. Pretty good too but not as good as Cointreau, Lime and Soda or Absolut Citron Vodka, slice of lime, ice and lemonade. No I'm not an alcoholic!!! We're having more of a personal research relationship anna
Phar Lap - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 02-.34 pm: A Stollie is the bestest drink there is. But be warned, you tend
to drink them rather fast.
phar lap - Saturday, June 17, 2000 03:20 pm: Just popped back in to get some drinks. The girls in chat are thirsty and I have been chosen to carry the drinks tray. Anna’s staggering too much to be any help..."TAXI!"
sisteranna - Saturday, June 17, 2000 03-29 pm: To paraphrase-. "it's a party, and I'll stagger if I want to!" Ohh there's my ride and he's soooooo good looking. Help me find my heels please ;)
Wolfie - Saturday, June 17, 2000 05-.23 pm: *peeks into the party tent*
Sophie - Saturday, June 17, 2000 08-03 pm: *Joins in the party *
cam - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 02:19 am: Hey phar lap - just make sure Anna doesn't throw up in the lavender
or leilandi bushes. They are sacred to CIJAH and sisters. We've
all rolled around in those bushes at one stage or another.
Avon am: Wooohooo!! I finally made it to the party I threw and thank all
deities someone came! And ANNA!!!! finally someone on this forum
who has decent taste in music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I pop on a
bit of The Blood Hound Gang? Sorry, Sophie, but you might need to
put your fingers in your ears, though.
Gonna go and see what's on the video....
Avon
Chrisl - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 03:29 am: A party!! What a good idea!! Can I come in? I've never been to the BoyDen before but it's looking great. I like this marquee idea ... the canvas sides gently billowing in and out with the breeze ... these grassy floors just begging me to take of my shoes. Does anyone mind if I do? Ahh . that's better. All this 70's music doesn't sound too bad either! (Yes, Sophie, I was very much alive when "Devil Gate Drive" came out. Even now, if I close my eyes, I can see Suzie Q bellowing out the words to the ceiling). Now, I do not come empty handed! I've bought a case of Mudgee wine (purchased during a recent visit there) lots of chips (that's crisps for you UKers) AND plenty of salsa. Is that enough to get me in? Chris
Chrisl - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 03:42 am: Hello Avon! Whoever that is throwing chocolate covered nuts at you is not giving chocolate the respect it deserves. Here's some black jellybeans to throw back if you like. (Horrible things they are and only good for throwing at parties such as this). Chris
avon - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 03:48 am: You bet, Chris. Thanks for coming! I rnust have been alive
for Devil Gate Drive but I sure don’t remember it. Actually I'm planning
to distract Cam with some of Liz's chocolate
Avon (who's just decided a cyber-party is *her* sort of party)
avon - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 03:58am: Too true - in fact jelly beans make pretty good ammunition. Just
don't throw any at
Chrisl - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 06:09 am: Whew! I don't know if it's the drink or all the ducking and weaving
around these flying sultanas and jelly beans, but my head is starting to
spin in the most pleasant of ways!
avon - Sunday, June8, 2000 9:09am: Well, just don't fall over in the rosebushes - Anna's been sick there!
I must say this party proves two things for sure - neither the marquee
or the temporary forum has fallen over
Hmmm... is it time for the trivia contest yet or the inaugral Matt BoyDen
memorial mincepie throwing contest? Hang on, I'm jusy going to go
and ask Phar Lap for a stolly – I’ll try
