548.0. "It's another HUMAN_RELATIONS party!" by QUARK::LIONEL (May you live in interesting times) Mon Jul 25 1988 16:06

    It's been a long time since the last HUMAN_RELATIONS noters' party,
    so I think it's about time we had another one.  Furthermore, I am
    going to take the plunge and offer to host said party at my (sorta)
    new house in Nashua.
    
    The date I have in mind is Saturday, September 17.  I figure to
    start around 4PM, and continue through whenever...  I have a small
    gas grill, and folks are invited to bring food, beverages, and
    themselves!
    
    If you would like to come, please "sign up" either as a reply to
    this note or by MAIL to me.  I will periodically update and post
    a list of attendees - if you wish to not be included on the posted
    list, just let me know.  If you want to mention what you might bring,
    that will add to the fun.  (I think I will make an ultra-delicious
    chocolate dessert that I have only made once before - Dione Lucas'
    "Chocolate Roll".)
    
    See you in September!

548.5whoops, conflict, sorry, I can't make party after allVIDEO::OSMANtype video::user$7:[osman]eric.vt240Tue Aug 09 1988 21:108
    Unfortunately, I just discovered that an important Go tourny is
    happening that weekend (2nd annual Amateur Meijin, NYC), so I won't
    be able to make the party after all. [yeah, I know I'm crazy]
    
    However, send me mail if you want the basic/tomato/garlic salad
    recipe.

548.21Not much of a conflictQUARK::LIONELIn Search of the Lost CodeMon Aug 29 1988 13:5110
    Well, that's true, Jim, but ANY Saturday or Sunday from Labor Day
    through late October would be SOMEBODY'S Canobie Lake day.  I really
    didn't want to push the party out until November.  If you want to
    come to the party, simply go to Canobie on some other day after
    the 17th.  I've never had trouble with this.
    
    Anyway, the party doesn't start till 4, and Canobie closes at 5,
    so I don't really see a conflict.

    I wish I could attend, but not only is it CXO's day at Elitch's
    amusement park in Denver, but there's a small matter of about
    2,000 miles.  If you ever get out this way, feel free to give
    me a call for lunch, happy hour, coffee, or something.

548.28Two weeks and counting!QUARK::LIONELIn Search of the Lost CodeSat Sep 03 1988 03:0815
    Well, it's now only two weeks away, and we've got a good crowd
    signed up already!  This is going to be fun...
    
    I'd appreciate it if people could indicate what they might bring
    (by mail or a reply here).  It looks as if we could use some "main
    dishes", fruits, vegetables and other munchies.  The best kind of
    party food is easy to handle, not too messy and can be eaten with
    one hand.  You should bring some sort of beverage too - a lot of
    people would enjoy soda, juices, etc., and maybe less beer.
    
    I will be sending out directions to my house a few days before the
    event.  If you have any questions, just let me know.

548.32A wonderful party - thanks!QUARK::LIONELSay it with FORTRANSun Sep 18 1988 17:4132
    What a great party!  We had a good crowd - not too many, not too
    few - and LOTS of delicious food!  (Wendy - you are hereby ordered
    to bring those caramel brownies to every HUMAN_RELATIONS party
    hereon! :-))
    
    One thing that was good was that most of those attending had not
    met most of the others previously, so a lot of new friends were
    made.
    
    Thanks everyone for a great time!

    Steve, thanks for the compliment.  I'll make my brownies every year
    if you promise to make your Swiss Cake Roll!
    
    While I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet and talk with everyone,
    I did make some new friends and had some enlightening and rewarding
    conversations.
    
    Thanks to everyone!

548.36::BillPARITY::BERNSTEINSorry, but it's personal!Mon Sep 19 1988 14:1814
    I had a great time, met some really nice people.
    
    Having been a read mostly noter, it's nice to put faces behind
    the names. You almost feel that you know people before you
    meet them, and I think that's why it's so comfortable when you 
    actually meet them in person.
    
    Thanks to Steve for hosting the party.
    
    Look forward to noting with everyone in the future.

    GREAT PARTY!!!!! There was a nice compliment of people there as
    well as some who don't work for DEC but came with the ones who do.
    The chicken wings were great ... Hawaian and Chinese. BUT for all
    you MUNCHY-AHOLICS .... ;-}   the caramel brownies were a GOD-SEND!!!!!
    
    Great time Steve!

	Great party, Steve - just the right amount of people for good
	conversation, good (recognizable:-) food (particularly the
	spaghetti pie & chocolate cake roll), from my perspective just
	the right mix of people I already knew and "new" people I
	hadn't met yet. Hopefully if Dee & I host a noter's party one
	of these days it'll turn out as well...
