My reference to a Bachelorette party was semi-serious, thinking that
it's an activity that very few of our people have ever done. It's also
an excuse to get together, have too many drinks, and get crazy. :)
>If there is a bachelor party, is it possible to be a part of it?
Well, it's usually up to the friends of the B2B to set up a bachelorette
party, so somebody's gonna have to take the initiative to plan it and
make it happen, with the approval of the happy couple, of course.
Since Nora is our go-between, let's ask her if she thinks that would
be an idea that the couple would like.
Nora?
If so we should probably get the wedding and b'party on the schedule,
as the b'party probably has to happen the evening before.

Getting together:

Ok, that sounds like fun. :) Let's make that a done deal. I've made
some more comments below. Saturday will probably be the best for the
most people.

Oops! Big oops! I never got the e-mail notification of this but I found
your entry in the working files. It looks like it was made August 10.
I'll get that one processed shortly.
If anything like this happens again, please let me know that the entry
appeared to fall into a black hole!

It now looks like I'll be in for maybe up to 2 weeks starting on the
18th, so if you're back in town before October maybe we can get together
some evening. My hours may be a bit irregular, but I will be able to
break away. Please lemme know.

Wedding and such:

Uh, don't you go to a wedding to meet chicks? (Wedding Crasher.) :)

Guilt? I never felt guilty about it? :) :) :)

No, you have a dollar dance so you have $$$ to spend in Hawaii. :)

Actually, I think a ceremony would be something that quite a few of the
people would like to attend. Yes, there's some novelty in the theme, but
a wedding is something that I'm sure many of our people would like to do
in their preferred mode but seldom get the opportunity to do.
My guess is, however, that there will be more of our people at the
reception than at the Ceremony. :)
I'm assuming that this will either be in one of the hotel chapels, which
can be quite nice, no hardwood pews like the Denton Episcopal Church, or
one of the LVB chapels, which range from somewhat elegant to strangely
tacky. :)

>>likely be the weekend of the 23-24-25 of September.
>It's on my calendar as tentative.
Ok, let's put this one in ink. I will be there over that weekend, so
let's just say Saturday the 24th, 6-ish for drinks, dinner to follow, at
Suede, old Sasha/Tramps building. No sign-up, just show up. :)
I'll send out a reminder in next week's mailing.
>>I'm all for more "party" type activities, but we have to remember that
>>many of those memorable times were quite spontaneous, totally
>>unplanned.
>OK, for next year, we need to plan more spontaneous events.
Ok, let's plan a spontaneous get-together at the Freezone at 6:00pm on
Tuesday. Sign-up required. :) :)
Seriously, I do think we need to come up with ideas that are new and
different. Many of our fun popular activities came about from somebody
thinking outside of the box, to use the cliche' du jour.
The more I think about it, a bachelorette party has the potential of
a very fun time! :)
We've also found that some things we've tried that bombed worked the
second time around. The slumber party and bowling come to mind
immediately.
Another one I think we ought to try again is the Night Of The Soiled
Doves, or something similar. The first one was so much fun that it was a
very hard act to follow, and the second one just couldn't live up to its
legacy. As you may or may not know, the NSD this year was rated quite
highly by the newcomers, but not so well by those who had attended the
year before.
Anyway, now is the time to do the thinking and brainstorming of new and
fun things to do!
