Birthday Party

When we were living in Seattle in 1999, I came home from work one day to find the Lad bent over several pieces of paper covered in elaborate charts. It looked sort of like a giant family tree, but he explained that he was actually designing a webpage. The design was finished three years later, and became the site we know as Cementhorizon.

Cementhorizon will be five years old this month, and we're going to party like it's 1999. You're all invited: the people I know, the people I don't, the people who read this regularly, and the people who stumbled across me while looking for stories about hot librarians. Ex-boyfriends, sworn enemies, people from high school who don't really remember me...if you read my site I want to meet you. And if I've already met you I want to hang out with you. And if I've already met you and slept with you...that will be awkward. But fun!

PARTY TALK:

BYOB. We'll be providing NOTHING to drink, not even mixers. You've been warned.

WHEN: Saturday, February 24, starting at 8 pm.

WHERE: San Francisco. Send an email to rsvp@cementhorizon.com for the complete address.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

-Photo booth: get a picture taken with your favorite blogger

-Cementhorizon-themed jello shots provided by Michele

-Spontaneous rhyming toasts by Sean

Stay tuned for more highlights as the party approaches.

Gah! All of a sudden everything happens on the 24th!

How do you cementhorizon-theme a jello shot?

I think the idea was to make them in the CH colors, but possibly not in grey. So maybe just blue jello shots? I don't know, but I do know this: Michele has never been defeated by a sugary recipe, and I don't think she's going to start now. So get your shot-drinking pants on, people.

i have to point out that the following 2 bulletins are incredibly contradictory:
1. we are providing nothing to drink! nothing, people! you want water you have to bring one of those suits that converts your urine!
2. michele is bringing jello shots.

and BD, don't you fear, i have great plans for my thematic CH debut. it's going to be awesome. 'nuff said.

I don't think Jell-O counts as a drink, even in shot form. It's jiggly-wiggly, after all.

it does still have alcohol in it which is basically the staple ingredient of a good party.

Fucking recovering from alcoholism type thing! I've never had a jello shot. And I won't be having one now. Do you feel sorry for me? I sure do. But even if I wasn't a recovering blah blah blah, jello isn't vegetarian so I couldn't have one anyway. Now I feel better.

Some friends of mine just tried this week to make gelatin-less jello shots. They got the proportions of juice and sugar wrong, and I think they may have used something insane like carrot juice, and they turned out terrible. But they did develop jello consistency, so apparently there's hope that, er, the only problem remaining for you is the alcohol.

stupid alcohol. oh well, i usually have fun without it. sometimes you might even think i'm drunk but i'm just strange. so it works out for everyone. i think......
