New Year's Eve

Currently attending are lisew, heatherly, deathpixie, cosmic, iamgerg, diamond_dust06, amythyst7, maureenans, buttercup_, redhawk, nystana, doqz and alestar. If you were thinking about it, now is the time to say something.

For our merry travellers, I give the following advice:

• Bring some kind of blanket/pillow/whatever. I do have sheets, blankets and pillows extra, but not enough for everyone. So unless you like sleeping under the couch cushions like John, bring something.
  
• Earplugs. If you are a light sleeper, be advised you will be in semi-close quarters with people that snore. I do not provide earplugs.
  
• I am an extremely mellow guy, which means I will not entertain anybody. If you're coming up, it's great to see you, but my idea of a good time is the pub. So if you'd like to see something other than the inside of the Griffin while here, you will need to make some plans. I am happy to help with places, routes, suggestions and even attendence if I feel like it. However, I will not be tour guiding much.
  
• Both Rossi and I will be working before and after New Years, so don't be surprised if you're told to shut the hell up at some point so we can scrounge up that two hours sleep before going into the office.
  
• I have a wireless router, a VCR, DVD player, stereo and X-Box at my house. Feel free to bring whatever you want for entertainment. I also own many games of various types if you're so inclined. I do not have any form of cable, so don't expect television channels.
  
• Doqz is to be rigerously kicked at whim. By everyone.
  
• I am happy to cook when I have time, in case people do not want to eat out all the time. In those cases, we do a quick whip around for the cash and hit the store. If you have food restrictions or allergies, let me know. Be sure to remind me a couple of times. Lots of Jewish friends, but since it has more damn levels than Kingdom of Loathing, you will have to be clear on how kosher you need things. Same for veggos and other perverts of nature.
  
• New Years Eve. The process is pretty simple. Everyone kicks in a twenty towards booze, which includes wine, beer, liquor and the sangeria bucket. Maybe party favours if I can find something humiliating enough. Dinner will likely be the same, either we buy stuff from the store, or whip around and order something. We drink. I spill sangeria on your socks. Alestar and I discuss opening a NYC club staffed with young Thai boys in trendy shirts.
  

If you have any other questions, concerns, etc, e-mail me more than a day before you travel to let me know.
