DANGER! DANGER! It's YAAP! Yet Another Armory Party! Fifth in that sequence of unforgettable occasions (assuming you don't count all the impromptu parties :-) What is this one in celebration of? My, they forget so easily! It was last February 24th that the Armory had its first party, the Quintuple Bday Party! So, this party is obviously to celebrate the birthdays of some of those same five people, and a half dozen or so others while we're at it. It is also, of course, to celebrate the First Anniversary of that party! After all, it's said that during that one, worlds collided, stars went supernova, quasars and black holes annihilated each other, etc. (but it's said mainly by the Armorites themselves). This year's birthdayites are John/spcecdt (Feb. 24th), Dierdre/siona (Feb. 24th), Irene/pax (Feb. 27th), Tejas/tejas (Feb. 26th), Chris/jedi (Feb. 25th), Alicia/vague, (Feb. 11th), Dawn/spirit (Feb. 13th), Alex/alexr (Feb. 26th), and Verna (Feb. 20th). Note that some of the above have not actually been informed that their bdays are being celebrated... won't they be THRILLED??? :-) Theme? We don't need no steenkin' theme! But, on the other hand, it couldn't hurt, so this, like the first one, is to be a Black & White party. But, THIS one is DIFFERENT and ORIGINAL! You can wear Formal Black & White, or informal Black & White, or just Black, or just White! Just so long as they're all solids. No black & white patterns, and especially, no really really fine black and white patterns, for example, gray. And no colors either (everyone knows black and white aren't colors). No, no, no. Unless, like Matthew, you really positively can't help it. Notes: * Please bring fud & drink. Bring your instruments if you feel like it. * Please reply only to me! Use the r/R that is appropriate to your mailer. * If you fall off the edge of the kitchen, it's your own look-out. We'll probably put some mattresses at the bottom, but if for some odd reason your balance comes to be impaired at this party, you should stay away from the edge. Further notes: We have grossly anal-retentive neighbors, so... a) We are going to try to keep things inside. b) We will have music but not too loud. c) PLEASE do not park on McMillan. According to the landlord he gets calls from the neighbors when the street is filled up by partyers. Park on Nobel and walk down; it is a very short distance. d) No flame throwers will be allowed in the back yard. The neighbors complained to our landlord about them after that last party (yes, seriously), and anyway the grass isn't out of control like it was then. Oh, uh, yeah, btw, I suppose I should mention that this is all to occur on the night of Saturday, February 24th, starting around 8, so that I don't get 150 whine-mail messages asking when it is like I usually do. To get to The Armory: From Campus: Go down Bay to the first stoplight and turn right onto Nobel Dr., which is actually the only way you can turn onto Nobel since if you turn right you will be on Iowa Dr. Continue on Nobel until you come to McMillan Dr. and turn left onto it. (If you turn right you will be in someone's living room and The Armory will not be held liable.) The Armory is on the right in the middle of the first block, #305. It is a two-story house, off-white with brown trim, and an Automatic Yard Light(tm) with a bulb in it that I may change to some interesting color to help the especially bwain-damaged find the place. Please do not fall in the gaping trench that we have been working on for the last 13 months and haven't gotten around to filling in yet since your insurance company will end up hating you because they won't get a penny out of us.

Yes, but what *kind*?!

Also, if I can find something like a Carvel's in Santa Cruz (I'll
ask around), I can get them to do the cake up custom; what best
represents an armory?  (So I'm ignorant... 8-))

Ok.  Chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, vanilla icing (for variety 8-)).
In the shape of a cannon, although I had a hard time convincing them
I was serious 8-).  Says "Happy Birthday Armorers."

It will serve "16-24" people, so I'll pick it up right before I come to
the party (7:30ish Saturday).  Sound good?

Sean.
