CD Party 2008 - An Email Reiteration

Folks,

You should all know the gist of this by now, but I'll elaborate for great justice! The end of the year is fast approaching and the weather grows cold. Yet our musical desire burns with intense heat! Come and be festive. We will dance to feline songs while drinking from small, wooden cups off of shark plate.

That's right, its the end of the year CD Party where we show off our impeccable taste in music and list making. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a CD with your 20 favorite songs of 2008. The songs can be all singles released in 2008 if you're me (which doesn't make sense), or it can have any songs released in 2008, or it can just be 20 songs you listened to and really liked in 2008. Equal opportunity music snobs is our motto. Track 1 of the cd should be song 20 (or the least of the 20 songs) and end at song 1 (the best comes last to generate suspense). Otherwise, the rest of the CD is up to you, but I do hope we get less CDs from a ziplock bag this time around.

If you're coming with a CD, let me know by December 10th so I can let everybody know how many CDs they need to bring. If you, or anyone I forgot/you want to bring, want come without bringing music, there's really no deadline to RSVP.

As to the actual date and time of the shindig, its Saturday December 20th at 7. Its at my place. Bring beers, and foods, and smiles.

Bit Homesick.

I was sleeping somewhat uneasily and as I awoke I was thinking about how I hadn't been home in a while. Shaking the sleep from my head I realized that I had been thinking of my home in Westford. It strange how sometimes you can miss the physical/spacial dimensions of a place.

Matt, Ash, you guys ever miss Shelly Lane or Butternut? The houses themselves I mean.

This is the time of year I get a little weird- I won't really see the sun again til spring. Ah well.

For the Non-Facebookers: A Fark Headline

Laura Bush says she showed Michelle Obama - a graduate of Princeton and Harvard - White House closets, because those are the things "women are interested in."

Yup. Years from now 2001-2008 will be known as America's Stupid Years.

CD Party: The Forerunner



My peepest of peeps, I need your help!  The annual CD Party of Personal Preferance and Superiority is fast approaching, but the actual date is in question.  You see, Merry Merry Christmas is on a Thursday this year, which is a problem due to it being quite a few days after the weekend (which is when the party would normally be thrown).  So what I need to know from you guys is this: What day works best for YOU?  The weekend before (19-21)  or Tuesday the 23rd?  Or does this become the first year with the party after Santa comes (the next day, Friday)?

I want everyone to be able to make it so I'm trying to tap your all early to ensure perfect attendance.  The official invitation will be sent out a little before Thanksgiving to a larger group, but the posters and readers of this blog take priority so its your opinion I'm asking.  If you know someone else I would probably invite has a conflict you can let me know about that too, though.

Help me, you're my only hope ourbloggy-wan.
