as you might have noticed, there was no Halloween Jam this past weekend. I was out of town at the wedding reception of ere_i_am_jh and justjk2478 (which was quite lovely by the way). Anyway, to make up for this, and to avoid having to go like 10 months until Aloha Jam without throwing a party, I have been floating the idea with beststephi and sui66iy of having a New Year’s Party. So here’s a general call for interest. If we were to throw one, who would be interested in attending? Unlike most of the Maverick Jams, there would likely not be a costume requirement or contest, unless I can think of one between now and the end of the year (if you would like there to be one and you have an idea, leave me a comment and let me know). Of course barring costumes and the like, everyone, especially the ladies, is still encouraged to be as sexy possible at all times in my presence.

Like it’s 1998!
I am interested in principle.
In practical may be another story, but in principle, yes.
Re: Like it’s 1998!
Victoria Principle? I can see that… she was hot. A little old for you though, isn’t she?
Re: Like it’s 1998!
Who?
Re: Like it’s 1998!
Actually, it was Victoria Principal. She’s an actress. She used to be on Dallas. She’s got to be close to 60 by now.
Re: Like it’s 1998!
I take it she won’t be making it to your party then?
Re: Like it’s 1998!
uh… I guess I could make some phone calls
While I will be in Pittsburgh for New Years, JE and crew are doing a New Years party. Why not hit up that Friday? Make it a full weekend of fun and support each other?
yeah, I figured that there would be a DPB’esque party somewhere, but I haven’t done a NYE party in a while. And since a whole slew of people seemed kinda disappointed by my not having a Halloween Jam this year, I thought that maybe its time I have a new years bash again. Problem with having it on Saturday or something is that really New Years parties really want to be on New Year’s Eve.
Be warned: You would be competing with the DPB party council, not that we make up a large portion of your parties, but we’re a factor. And you love us. Just come to ours. 🙂
It is silly that all new years parties should take place on the same day.
yeah, but necessary. Its really hard to get people to show up over your house for the simple joy of counting backwards on the other nights of the year.

There’s not really that much joy in the counting backwards. Most of the joy comes ffrom the sexy clothes and drinking. I think the end of a year is a rare enough event that it requires at least two nights of celebration.
I’m fine with that. Unfortunately I don’t think enough people are. Turns out its hard to party two night in a row for some people, and I expect that JE and crew want the 31st as much as I do, and probably aren’t willing to switch either.
But yeah, if you want to bring sexy girls over and get drunk on any given Saturday, I’m all for it.
eh… I actually did last year, I believe. But this year I think I should do a little something myself.
And you love me… Just come to mine. 🙂
As a permanant member of the DPB Party Council, I am required to attend all core functions to the exclusion of all others. It is a solumn and serious duty, but these drinks I drink, I drink for my people.
ah… but then DPB could have such party inside of my party… problem solved.
This is heresy that you speak.
is not… DPB parties are nice and all, but they not thrown by HOVA
*hands drop to guns*
You callin’ me out, boy?
come on white boy! I ain’t ducking you!
Unlike most of the Maverick Jams, there would likely not be a costume requirement or contest, unless I can think of one between now and the end of the year (if you would like there to be one and you have an idea, leave me a comment and let me know).
How about, “Wear something Cool,” and no contest?
yeah, that’s kinda what i was aiming at.
Hm. But I have nothing cool.
you have almost two full months to buy something!
I am in favor if it is drama-free and there are cute boys. If I have to dig up my own cute boy and put him in the back of the truck I will be most peturbed.
But you shouldn’t go by me because it may snow and I have to drive for 8 hours just to count backwards with friends.
Never mind. If 3 people come to my apartment, it will be a party. It’s a small apartment.
well, if you really were going to dig one up, there is a graveyard right across the street
Your thoughtfulness of location is appreciated. I shall bring my shovel.
you know… I wanted to make a joke here… and really I guess I was the one who kinda introduced the whole necrophilia thing into the conversation… but all I really have isL
ewww…
you must learn not to ask me to make plans further than a week in advance 😉
I have 3 possible locations for New Years; I will make it 4. Final decisions will be made after Christmas.
If I am going, I am dragging you with me.
Kicking and screaming if need be.
Just don’t kick while I’m driving unless it’s super late and all other attempts to keep me awake have failed.
and then, aim for the head.
and then, aim for the head.
Thanks Mav, spoken like a true friend.
Have I taught you nothing about the impracticality of high kicks in enclosed spaces? (cool though they may be in choreography)
Thanks Mav, spoken like a true friend.
I was protecting you… left unchecked, she might have aimed for the crotch…
To be fair, you taught me how to kick pandas in the head, knock them out, and not injure a single one.
But if you were driving, I would not want to knock you out. I must think on this dilemna.
Hmm.
Well, I’m sure we could choreograph something that would keep me up…
get a room, you two!
Rehearsal space is expensive and hard to come by you know.
it took you six days to come up with that?
Some of us are trying to prioritize schoolwork you know.
and clearly, livejournalling should come before schoolworks. Sheesh! and they gave you a degree.
Well no, you see, they haven’t yet, thus the need to do the schoolwork if I want to get the fancy piece of paper that says PhD on it.
Well no, you see, they haven’t yet
Well, maybe if you spent more time on livejournal they would. Never know until you try.
Hmm.
While there is some interesting research being done on stuff like LJ (and probably more than one dissertation being written), it’s really not my area of interest. There is a bit of really good stuff written, but I don’t have the patience to wade through all the postmodern crap to get to the works that actually have a point.
*sigh*
dammit… I really really really have to get into grad school
so that you can write dissertations about livejournal?
*sigh* only in my fondest of dreams…
I don’t know about choreography, but we’ve been working on improv in Adrianne’s class lately…
In other words, all kinds of new and exciting heretofore unthought of places you can kick him?
Is this still you protecting me?
well, I was just asking for her game plan… you know… this wya you can be prepared.
Is this still you protecting me?
No, he’s a space panda himself- constantly switching sides.
I am not a panda, I am a free man!
that’s what they all say
what did a panda ever do you you?
These were brutal aggresive space pandas from the David Mamet classic children’s play, Revenge of the Space Pandas.
What they really wanted was to kidnap her friend Bob the Sheep, and we couldn’t let that happen. Thenkfully, this play had one of my favorite stage directions ever (and I quote), “Vivian hold off the hordes of attacking Space Pandas using Karate.”
David Mamet, thou art (fucking) genius.
Exeunt. Pursued by a Bear. (Panda, using karate)
We read that section for the cold readings in the audition. That stage direction was actually what made me say “oooh- I want THAT part!” and ask for my info sheet back, to add “9 yrs TKD” to it.
and it worked!
hmmm… good that you got it… but in retrospect you should have also mentioned that you really like eating bamboo or something… you know… just in case.
To be entirely accurate, she wasn’t playing a panda, just fighting them.
well for Jay-Z’s sake, I certainly hope the good people at PETA shut them down.
On the State of Children’s Theater Today
Dude.
David Mamet Killer Space Pandas.
PETA would run and hide.
They were gonna try to kill her by dropping a giant pumkin on her head.
Those things were killer I tell you.
Re: On the State of Children’s Theater Today
I fear for the children… seriously…
also, PETA are a bunch of nutcases, true… but everyonce in a while, I can’t help but feel that they have a point
Re: On the State of Children’s Theater Today
To be fair, they really only wanted to drop the pumpkin on Binky, and it is still debateable as to whether or not I should have stuck my neck out for him anyhow. It wasn’t until I showed up trying to save him the 2nd time that I got thrown into the whole mess.
Re: On the State of Children’s Theater Today
ok… I think its pretty clear that you people have lost your damn minds.
Re: On the State of Children’s Theater Today
This is why we need to get you in grad school, so that you can become familiar with these seminal works of the American theater.
four choices and only one is the correct one!!!
