Guy Fawkes 2008: November 1st

Well, we're nearing the time again for the second biggest costume holiday of the year (behind Valentine's Day, of course): Remember, remember the somethingth of November. And this year it's going to be the first, what with Halloween falling on a Friday and all. Plus, I'll be out of town the next week, and as I haven't yet perfected the robo-virtual-bionic me, I'd like to have the party while I'm in town.

So theme-wise, here's what we've got: Song titles. That is, dress up in a manner such that there is some possibility someone may see you and say "Ah, you're that one song!" Some of our regulars have suggested a penalty or punishment for overly obscure songs (I believe the ostracization goes like this: "Oh, you're that one Beck song!") but others have whole-heartedly embraced the idea of you having to explain to all of us about this one cool band you once heard and this crazy great song they played for you. So I leave that up to you.

The party, as many parties often do, is said to start at 9pm. That'll mean a lot of you won't be here 'til 10pm, but what, I'm gonna say 8pm and then someone shows up at 7:30 and I'm only halfway into my SexyBack dress? So, yes, 9pm is when I'll be expecting you. If things go as they have in the past, we'll wind down in the hour or three past midnight, likely with someone doing a go-go dance of some sort on my front porch pillar.

What is this, the 10th year? I can't keep track of these things. Anyway, I hope you can make it, and I look forward to seeing your tunez.

I'm totally going to wear my Raspberry Beret, Greensleeves and Blue Suede Shoes.

I will also give a nickel to anyone dressed as a Bridge Over Troubled Water and the first pregnant lady to show up as Poppa Don't Preach.

I doubt we'll be able to make it down to StL, but just in case I'm trying to come up with a costume representing "Ack Ack Ack Ack".

Prof. Hotpants-- if we were on the continent I'd be your Poppa Don't Preach in a heartbeat.

Hello Geeklifers.  From February 2009 I will be demanding child support from you for this small human I'm gestating, seeing as how she wouldn't exist without y'all.  And of course, it'll be payable in Pounds Sterling. Your Yankee Pesos won't buy us nappies, you know.
