Our anniversary!

edited August 2012
Please feel free to drop by our little anniversary shindig this wednesday around 6 to around 9.

I'm not putting the address on here: DEAL WITH IT! email somebody

We are going to play croquet and celebrate 3 years (!) of wedded bliss. So many of you a-wipes contributed to making our wedding (and our lives) so great, and we love you!

We will provide drinks but you can bring stuff if you want, no biggie either way. Get ready for some serious croquet! Also does anyone know where to buy a croquet set?

PIPONBD!

Will you come?

Comments

  • I will come! Ian will come!
    So glad you two people married each other. WORTH CELEBRATING!
  • I was GOING to come when I saw this post, but then I was conversing with Matt about how I'll probably go two years without seeing his friends (in Portland), and how sad that is, and he said, "Of course you will. Did you get that email about A and R's anniversary party?"

    And I said NO. No, I did not get any such email. My point is made.



  • What up with that!!!
  • I don't have your email address!
    When drafting the email we specifically said "matt and flossy" but I only had matt's.
    Inviting one member of a couple implies inviting of the other, also!
    OMG
    PLEASE COME FLOSSY LOGS!!!!!

    We are making alcoholic arnold palmers for the beverage. If people want something else to drink then they will be coming to the wrong place!!!!!!!!!

    got the croquet set today

    things is shaping up nicely as they say my dear watson

    please come flossy
  • What if people want something else to drink and they bring it themselves.
    Are they still at the wrong place?

    Ok! I will come! You won me over!

    But actually, we are having a farewell dinner for bigmac at his mom's house that night, so we might only be able to pop in at the end. But regardless, I am very happy for your marriage. Three years old! A toddler!

  • Wait, where is bigmac going??

  • Oh good. I thought that "I'll probably go two years without seeing his friends (in Portland)" meant that he was going away for two whole years.
  • EVERYONE JUST FORGET I WAS TALKING ABOUT BIG MAC LEAVING!
  • Anyone can bring any other beverage they want! I will even provide cups and ice.
    There will be water available.

    I HAVE GRAPEFRUIT BITTERS

  • Also there will be mild snack
  • MIDI SNACKS?
    MILD SNACKS?
    MIDI SAX?
  • I don't really even know what grapefruit bitters are, but they (it?) sound delicious. Perhaps I should start reading the "what are you drinking" thread.
  • BITTERRRRRSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    while i am not "leaving" Portland, it is true that I will be away for awhile. I'm going bi-coastal for the next 22 months or so- i will be a Dean's Fellow* at the University of Buffalo- I'll be teaching, doing some "post-graduate" work, and working with THIS GUY. When it's all said and done I should be an official Master of Fine Arts.

    I've been keeping it on the DL for various pro-style reasons, but it's now officially out of the bag. I am heading off on Thursday. Megan and Ukiah will be holding down the fort at the boat house while I am digging out of 8 foot high snow drifts. You should hang out with her, and come visit me!

    (* I still am not really clear what this means)

    SORRY TO HIJACK THIS THREAD- GO BACK TO TALKING ABOUT BITTERS!!!
  • CONGRATS, BIG MAC! FELLOW OF FINE ARTS!

    I'LL BRING LAVENDER BITTERS.
  • GOOD LUCK MATT
    MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT SNOW DRIFTS
    You will have a great old time and meet some new people and work on shit and get a cool degree!
    Get a parka soon, I can help you shop online if you are confused about what parkas are (i.e. my grad school friend who lived all her life in Texas and then got a job in upper Michigan and thought "boots" meant "ugg boots," boy was she in for a nasty shock)
  • UPDATE: I forgot to bring the lavender bitters to work, so there will be NO LAVENDER BITTERS.
  • edited August 2012
    REPEAT: There will be NO lavender bitters
    however there WILL be GRAPEFRUIT BITTERS
    for anyone who brings a different drink that would go well with GRAPEFRUIT BITTERS this is good news: for those planning on bringing a drink for which LAVENDER BITTERS would be a great addition this is BAD NEWS, repeat: BAD NEWS

    REPEAT: The drink being served is VODKA ARNOLD PALMERS, and whether or not they go well with GRAPEFRUIT BITTERS remains to be seen

    Also MILD SNACK
