"Be your best self" Party on June 8, Sunday, 5pm to 11pm

Theme:

"I just try to be me as hard as I can." -- My sister LG, when I asked how her life was so together.

"Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman." -- Andy Biersack

Dress code:

I want you to be comfortable. And if you want an excuse to dress up, I want you to be glamorous. Don't worry about over-dressing, we will all be delighted to look at you. Don't worry about under-dressing, we will all be busy looking at USO Captain America.

Mood and tone:

I will have a lot of color prints of my personal heroes and characters named Robin stuck to the walls. There may be tacky party favors.

I will probably be showing incredibly cheesy superhero movies with the sound down. There will not be music or movie sound because my favorite party activity is talking.

I will welcome food and social drinking. BYOIntoxicants, I'll have some snacks.

Tributes welcomed:

• Foods and drinks you want to eat or share
  (I personally love fresh fruits, creamy desserts, chocolate, cheese, and savory foods)


• Job leads :P
  (my contract ends this Friday)


• Eye candy
  (worn)


• New friends
  (feel free to invite someone you think I should know)


• Songs and stories

That last one... I care about stories. A lot. The stories we tell about ourselves and each other, the resonances we find in the world.

It means a lot to me that someone has offered to come to my party as a glamorous superhero.
It means a lot to me that someone has offered to belly dance a song of my choice.
If there is something you would like to perform or recite for me, in public or private, let me know.
If there's a song lyric or story or character you find meaningful in relation to me, print it out or send me a link. (More traditional media gifts also accepted with delight.)
If there's a thing you want to go and do with me, I commit to seriously trying to make time for it instead of letting it wander off into 'sometime.'
If you just want to tell me how you see me, I will sob all over you and be very grateful.

This is a long road I'm on, figuring out the shape I want in the world at any given moment, and all of you are part of that. Thank you.

So, um. Practical ambience question:
