Apple Pie Skepticism, October 8th at Kitty's Place

It's not a real casino...although I guess it once was. Now it's a "ballroom". I've seen a few bands there. There is an arcade just down the strip. It is the best people-watching in NH. Complete freak show.

So I'll let fate decide. If there's a ticket, I'd be glad to join you. If not, have fun without me. Hell, if you get a better offer, have fun with him/her.

You know there's no offer I'd consider better.
 
thanks Scott! I finally went to my MD today and she said, "oh yeah, you are having quite the reaction!" Then she gave me sleepy pills.

So....I've been napping and not cleaning!

AUGH!

OK, Scott is way better at directions than I am! Just get to Brattleboro!
 
Have a great time, you guys.

I'm sorry that I will not be able to make it. I was hoping to make my first appearance at a forum event, but some things have come up unexpectedly which require me to stay closer to home.

I hope to make it to the next New England gathering, though! :)
 
Beady, I did wake up enough to buy some cider!

Nova is doing stuff with apples in the kitchen, and I have some guidance balloons to put up, so look for some balloons.
 
hey katana, we can come visit YOU!!!!

Seriously!!!

And yeah for Larry coming!

Seriously sad balloons, so do check your internet directions carefully.

Look for the pumpkin with "skeptic party" written on it and park in the circle. Or you could end up at little Madison Carters 8th birthday party. She is having ponies, so it might not be a bad choice.

Bring your archery skills (though with only dollar store achery equipment we're talking a lot of luck) and we'll hit some apples off of WILLAM TELLS SON!

Seriously, I dug him up and he's almost as good as new. Let's hope the wild animals leave him alone tonight and he'll be ready for duty!

Oh I have some beer, and soda and juice boxes. Whatever else it is you drink, please bring!
 
did I mention I have no clue when this starts or ends? Just show up...

I think it's lunch, but then some are coming after 1:00. Nova is here all night. As is Kitten. So come one come all, and come whenever.

It should be noted that I am NOT Martha Stewart, but as long as there is pizza to send out for, none shall go hungry!

And we have a lotta apples.

... If I don't attend what are the chances I'll get the piece that has the toilet secret in it?

That would be zero.

In the quoted passage the Janelle character says, "Don't worry, though, I haven't breathed a word about the toilet secret. Let them pay for it." In saying that, the character appears to be speaking the author's feeling on the matter. The teaser I quoted is the only passage in the book about the toilet secret. Sorry to get your hopes up.

(Does anyone know what the secret is? Or, if not, does anyone have any suggestions for how to obtain it? Perhaps we should start a thread about that elsewhere in the forum...)
 
I just got home, and I think I can say the party was a smashing success. There were about 14 different types of apple products, of which I sampled each . . . twice. Okay, three times. Great vegan chili, yummy autumn beers, and a big crowd of fun skeptics. We even had a few budding skeptics there. I think one of them may have been corrupted. NOT BY ME.

A lot of us even got to go out kayaking, and it was a beautiful day. The sun was blasting, the sky was clear, and the leaves were a million different colors. The water was . . . well, it's October. So of course, Larry forced me to jump out of a tree on a rope swing into the freezing water. By "forced" I mean he went first and then mocked me. Kitten made matters worse by offering to jump if I jumped. Damn you all! I can't believe I take the rap for being a bad influence.

Of course, the best part of the day came at the very end, when Kitty found my Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou DVD. A happy ending! Heh...

All in all, a very fun time. Thanks guys! And thanks Scott, for the rides to and from the middle of nowhere, NH!
 
It was a great time! Thanks Kitty.

What a fun birthday for me. The only thing that could have made it better would have been TS. Let's see, I got a chance to shoot arrows at Merc, I was hugged by a number of skepchicks, I went rope swinging into a clear NH lake with Kitten and Rebecca, I had my kayak rammed repeatedly by Sarah and Kitten, I ate tons of desserts, I got a special cake from Canada, I got presents,... well, it was great.

Thanks everyone, you all made it special.
