Solstice party

[serene]

Originally, my solstice party was going to be a smallish thing, but hey, elissaann is in town, so I want everyone to know about it, and come hang out!

Elissa has a concert that afternoon/evening, so she'll arrive late, but we'll have food and schmoozing starting at 7pm.

When: Friday, June 20, 7pm-midnight or later

Where: My place in North Oakland

Who: You and anyone you like and/or love and/or want to bring along. Kids are welcome, but the place is not kid-proofed; there will be a TV with videos available in the bedroom and lots of building toys -- for kids or adults.

What: Food, conversation, food, music, and food. (Come as you are. This is not a potluck.) Also, if anyone feels like bringing musical instruments, y'all can play music and laugh at Serene's nearly nonexistent guitar skills.

You can get directions by sending me an email, if you don't already know where we live. Also, we're happy to provide crash space -- we've got a full-sized foldout bed and tons of floor space.

Current menu for the solstice party, picnic theme version, subject to change:

cold fried chicken
veggie kabobs with some sort of veggie protein (tofu or seitan or tempeh)
sandwiches
meat-and-cheese tray
homemade baguettes
potato salad
macaroni salad
watermelon
lemonade
iced tea (sweet and un)
maybe beer, maybe homemade root beer
peach cobbler
homemade ice cream, several flavors, and sundae bar

What else says "summer" to you?

Also, if you know whether or not you're coming, I'd love a head count when it's feasible.

I would love to join you and finally MEET you for a solstice party. Are you sure I can't bring something besides myself, my very rusty singing voice and some buxom giggles?

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Nope, that's all. (And there's a chorus of "Yay, buxom giggles!" in my house at the moment. ;-)

As far as I know I will be there so need some silliness.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Cool! Bring your crew if they want to come.

[red-silk-robe.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, the 20th is ON my calendar.

RSVP for 1. (I may bring the Mad Scientist with me but I'll have to see.)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[ucancallmeal.livejournal.com]

I really wished I lived closer to you, I would love to come to your get togethers! Sounds like a lot of fun. :D

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

And we'd love to have you! :-)

too bad I just moved back to Kansas! If I'm ever in California and remotely close, I'll have to swing by and you can show me how to make fabulous veggie food. :)

oh wow, I got invited to *2* solstice parties

Don't worry, the other one is on Saturday. I'm hoping to get to yours, if all goes well.

Cool; it'll be good to see you.

We'd like to try to make it. I think S. could cope at your house, and if it gets too rough we can just leave. We managed at klwalton's a few weeks ago so we should be fine.

Corn always says summer to me, as does any flavor of salad. Oh and anything with tomatoes and basil says summer to me.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Oh, we'd love to see you and YES, corn!! How could I have forgotten? We even got a few ears in our CSA box today.

Regarding S, there's also a park across the street if he gets antsy, and it's light out until at least 9 these days.

About an even chance I'll manage to finally make it. If so, will bring 4 year old, and possible infant.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Oh, LOVELY!

[suzimoses.livejournal.com]

Alas, I'll be at 4th Street Fantasy Convention, otherwise I'd really liked to have come.

Suzanne, strangely social.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

I would have loved to have seen you. Hope the con is going swimmingly!
