Greetings All!
Sorry this is so late in getting out even after several of you have called asking, but fear not! Mark's First (and only) Back to School Soirée!! (also known as my severely-delayed annual Super Bowl party or my 'I'm having an early birthday party for myself' party) will be Saturday, May 21st, 2005 from "some time in the afternoon" until... hmmm... what do you all have planned for Sunday??? The party is to celebrate the completion of my apparently incredibly misguided decision to put myself back in school after 14 years to take French. I was inspired after visiting both Paris and Nice a few months ago. Then again, why on earth I decided to give myself homework again is beyond me, but at least I can now say... "Je m'appelle Mark et je ne parle tujours pas beaucoup français!" Go figure! Anyway, it's an open door here so feel free to bring anyone you like! Family, friends, pets, friends dressed like pets (...like say Ang' in a cat suit!), kids, relatives, neighbors, classmates, professors (Bonsoir professeur Lakshmi!), the mailman... New Additions
Bring your paddles because you're gonna get whipped!!! So what the he** am I talking about? No, this isn't some fetish scene revealed (although it can be!! Vanillas beware!). It's that I've *finally* gotten around to having my basement cleaned up so the Ping Pong table is gonna be up and running again. And *allegedly*, we're gonna have the "State Champion" Ping Pong player (yes, that's you Jake!) here ready to receive (...I mean give--sorry!) lessons on how to lose gracefully while still maintaining your dignity. Update: Well so much for gracefully! He was drunk off his ass and standing in boxers after falling to Queen Jane! And because I've experienced a recent phenomenon that I didn't even think was possible--exploding pool balls... (it's true! These crappy P.O.S's were apparently filled with some gooey, oozing, sticky stuff that exploded all over the box)... I've decided it's time to invest in a new pool table which will be delivered on Saturday just in time for the party! (What can I say... I live to procrastinate!) Bring your 'A' game because even though I apparently suck at Air Hockey (All hail Queen Jane Approximately--the reigning champ!) pool is something I actually don't suck at! What to Bring
As I do every year, I will be covering all of the beverages for the party. As such, no one needs to bring any, although you are more than welcome to, especially if there's a brand that you prefer. (I just get the 'staples' if you will.) I will also try getting another large sub (or many small ones) as well as chips. pretzels, etc. and a few pizzas to top things off. For those who would like to bring food, please contact me so I can make arrangements to keep people from bringing duplicates. While one can never have enough Rice Krispy treats (the food of Gods!), unfortunately, the same cannot be said for pasta dishes which seem to multiply in uncanny numbers at these things. That said, ideas include even more pizza, fruit & veggie platters, shrimp rings, Chips 'n' Dips, spinach rings, bagel bites, steamers, buckets from KFC, and of course the aforementioned Rice Krispy Treats!!!

Thanks and see you at the party!!! P.S. Yes I was bored when I made this site, and yes, I actually made that hat just for that picture and yes it's apparent that I also have issues! But if anyone wants the hat, I'll be autographing it to be auctioned off with all proceeds going to anything that saves little furry animals in honor of my two kids Tom & Jerry who people have been telling me lately look an awful lot like cats! (What can I say... they look like their mother!) |
