Final party update: Saturday, April 28 (tomorrow!)

The sticker party/potluck is still on. From noon to 10pm on Saturday, you are welcome to come to my house, with or without food or surplus Magic cards. Full party details and RSVP Survey are here!

Fair warning (important): I've been fighting a very sore throat with slight runny nose for a few days. Someone kindly compared my husky voice to Marlene Dietrich today, though I believe I am leaning more toward Leonard Cohen. I'm past the reasonable contagion point (no fever since Tuesday), and I don't intend to handle the food or drool infectiously on my guests (hurhurhur), but if you are immuno-compromised or live with someone of that description, visiting me would not be wise.

If you're scared off by the possibility of catching the Leonard Cohen voice, or if something else has come up, please change your RSVP so I have a current idea of who to expect. Thanks!

P.S. Never fear, for I am almost out of school and soon may invite people over to celebrate my emancipation. You shall see me again, even if you can't make it tomorrow.

I had a vicious cold yesterday and the day before, so it's probably too late for poor immuno-compromised Nibs. All the same, between your sore throat, ten cubic yards of bark mulch, and a wide variety of other balls in the air, I must regretfully bow out.

Tragedy! Have fun with the mulch!

Thanks to my meds, I'm technically immunosuppressed, but it causes me very little issue. We'll likely be there tomorrow, though I'm not sure on times yet.

Actually, after more thought, we've decided not to come. I was really looking forward to it, but my inflammation is enough out of control now without me getting sick again.

I hope all goes well!

Thanks for letting me know! Now I must be sure to throw another bash, so that I may experience the glory and wonder of whole-wheat garlic cheese biscuits!

Yay seeing you again! I'm afraid I'm going to be in Spokane tomorrow, but sign me up for future things before I leave for summer adventures.

slipping into the maybe category

I had some weird thing that caused (edited for the gross tmi factor) and the entire right side of my head and neck to ache. This meant I spent the better part of the day I was going to be editing video in bed or otherwise non-functional. I'll see where I am tomorrow, but I may have to pass. I'll give you a call by 4pm with a final decision.

I meant to come! But I forgot about it when the Spokane plan was made. :(

I am sending some books along with Tony, to return to you and to [livejournal.com profile] plantae.

I forgive you! (Ooh, now I wonder what I loaned to you.)

... You know I don't live at Biomass anymore, right?

Yup, I know. But I figured she'd be there, and if not, you'd probably see her before I do. :)

Marianne Faithfull?

Lower than that, and more gravel. The word "whiskey" was used just before the invocation of Marlene.

Thanks for the recommendation, though! I like her stuff, and had not heard of her before.
