Conference turris::womannotes-v2

    oh dear. i can't come. i have tickets for a concert that night.
    thanks, though, David.
    
    liz

I'm coming. I'll bring some wine (I always have a bottle or ten lying around). 

If you want to see what happened last time I brought wine to Witt's house,
stand in front of his kitchen sink, and look up...
	Mez

    We, the slum-mates of David Wittenberg, will attend.
    
    Matt

    Another slum-mate, I'll be there (here?) on the 3rd. I've looked up
    from the kitchen sink, and I can't think what .1 means - that purple
    decoration's a "motif" isn't it?

    Silly question - Has anyone determined what time the party is?

    it will be an evening party, exact start time to be set by David
    Wittenberg.
    
    Bonnie

And in case you're wondering, Witt is in another state right now
(is this a set-up or what?).
	Mez

    confusion? serenity? and was he registered to vote there?

>>>>(is this a set-up or what?).
>>>>>	Mez


    I can vouch for the veracity of this party.  I was present when
    he stated that this would be the day and the place.  Bonnie J
    was just being a good doo-bie in entering it for him.

    Wow, do I sound official or do I sound official!!!

    justme....jacqui

    
    re: .8
    I thought it was "altered".
    
    <wink>, Dave.
    
    am

    I'll be there, and this time I'll bring enough Chocolate Mousse
    Grand Marnier for everyone!  Promise!  (As long as we don't have
    people taking two or three like last time! :-) )  Guaranteed 100%
    sinful and with absolutely no redeeming nutritive value whatsoever
    (unless you are a chocoholic.....)
    
    				Steve

    I'll be there, and will probably bring a dish that involves some
    sort of cheese...
    
    -Jody
    

    Count me in also....will be arriving with CSSE::HGARDNER.  Don't
    know what to bring yet but will decide before I get there.  ;*)

    re:  .11

    Steve,

    Issue chits to those who sign up for the bash and then everyone 
    will have a chance at your mooooseeee (mouseeee)  <mousse>!!!!

    justme....jacqui

    (all lower case AND four dots)  please and thank you.

    I'll be coming (of course) and will bring the nametags plus I don't
    know what else, something edible presumably.
    
    						=maggie
    
    (and i'll get yer tag right this time jacqui)

    I'll be there (since it's between trips!)  Not sure what I'll bring,
    but it will probably be spicy.
    
    P.
    

    re.  .14


    Practice makes purfit!!!  8*)

    Thanks.

    justme....jacqui

    Jeez, I  go  away for a couple of weeks and tell the kids "No Wild
    Parties".  What  do  they do but invite all 100,000 + employees of
    Digital.

    To answer  some questions: Yes, I did plan this, and yes, I was in
    another  state,  but I wasn't allowed to vote in an altered state.

    After  consulting  with  a moderator and a quarter, the start time
    will  be  6:00,  and  who knows when it will end (The last one ran
    past midnight.)

    I'll make  hot  mulled  cider  (non-alcoholic),  and  supply paper
    plates, forks, etc.  If you need bowls, let me know.

    We're still  a  bit short on serving utensils, so it would help if
    you  can  bring whatever is needed to serve your dish. It might be
    wise  to  put  your  name on your dishes, so I can return the ones
    that  we  find afterwards. (Though we do accept donations of pots,
    pans, or anything else that seems useful.)

    No smoking in the house, but there's a covered porch where you can
    smoke (and freeze, as the wages of sin.)

    If there's  anything I haven't covered, I'm back in town, so I can
    answer questions.

--David

    	As of this moment, I'm in...
    
    	I'll try to bring something you can eat with your fingers since
    I remember the utensil shortage the last party...  I have no idea
    what it will be...
    
    						--Doug

    I have a date but plan to drop by later to chat.  
    
    Probably bring some cookies and soda.
    
                                               
                                                     Russ P.

I'll try to be there.  Bringing either something with chocolate or some
finger food.

Martin.

    I'll come.  (This will be my first NOTES party -- it should be
    interesting).  I will bring a pan of spanikopita (sp?), since I haven't
    baked it in a long time and I love handling sheets of phyllo.
    I will probably also bring some non-alcoholic beer.

    							-- Mikey

    OK, I'll  reconsider. Several people have pointed out that there's
    nothing  wrong  with  a  small  party, so we'll have the party. We
    already meet the minimum requirements (one main course and several
    deserts).  If  anyone  else would like to sign up, by all means do
    so.

    If we  don't  have  a  quorum, we'll have to have another party in
    January.  (Bonnie  Reinke can't make it, so I don't see how we can
    have a quorum.)  

    So, we'll  have  a  party  at  my  house  this  Saturday at 6, and
    probably another one in January to attract a larger audience. I'll
    send  out  directions Tues. or Wed. to everyone who's signed up by
    then.

--David

    
    Alright, count me as a probably.  I'll bring something that
    isn't sweet...maybe a batch of my Cajun Pecans.
    
    .jim
    

    Sorry to disappoint all you mousse lovers, but I won't be able to
    attend after all.  (Dave W. asked if I could just send the mousse -
    humph!)  I will surely try to make it to the next one.
    
    				Steve
    
    P.S.  If you want the mousse recipe, send me mail.

Here's the  current  list  of  people  who  have  signed up. I'll be sending
directions  out to them in a few minutes. If you want to come, there's still
time  to  sign  up.  If  you're on this list and don't get the directions by
Tues. morning, send me mail. If your first name is missing, let me know so I
can add if so =maggie can make your name tag.

Good thinking, David W!

By the way, there is a new game craze where one draws things 
and others have to guess it.  If anyone has the game, I would
be interested in playing it (will also pack my Trivia Pursuit
in case there is interest).

Meigs

    Sorry, but I will be unable to attend Saturday night....but I'll
    save the spices I brought back from Arizona for the next one!
    
    P.
    

    Hi -
    
    I won't be able to make the party but the game that was mentioned
    in .26 is "Pictionary". The rules are relatively simple and the
    game is a blast! It is fast replacing Trivial Pursuit as my
    family's holiday game of choice! Enjoy!
    
    -Amy.
    

    
    I have some close friends who have Pictionary -- I can probably borrow
    it.  If so, I will bring it along.
    
    							-- Mikey

    Well, I'm sorry to say that I may not be able to make the 
    party, but would you send me directions anyway just in
    case?  I'll be in Cambridge for a Native American awareness
    evening of song and story telling, probably with a small group
    of people.  Depending on what the group I'm with wants to do
    afterward, I may be able to stop by later to say hello and meet
    a few of you.  
    
    Karen

RE: .- 1

there as well.

    I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to make it, but could I please
    get directions, just in case.
    
    Tamzen

    Here's the current list. Everyone on the list should have received
    directions from me. If you haven't, send me mail or call me at DTN
    293-5071. I'll send a copy of this list to =maggie so she can make
    nametags  sometime  early Friday. If you sign up after that you'll
    have to make your own.

    I have it on good authority that one of the members of my
    group coming Saturday makes a mean broccholi salad and
    will be bringing it!  Spelling leaves something to be 
    desired!  ;*)

    justme....jacqui

    Jim Baranski will also be there...
    
    -Jody
    

    I'll be there. I was going to keep it a secret and just show up, but I
    decided it would be nicer to let people know.
    
    	-- Charles

Hi,

My husband Greg and I are probably going to be there. I am not sure what
we will bring, but it will probably be some kind of homemade bread.

Since I have just started reading this notes file, this will be a first for
me!

Muggsie

    Okay, folks, is this the lot?  All nicknames/nodes as desired? 
    Speak now or do without a nametag tomorrow!        
                                                  
    (and since the list looks roughly 2x what it was when the party
    was re-enabled, I hope there are lots of games being fetched just
    in case!)
    
    						=maggie

    I'll bring backgammon and cribbage board / cards.
    
    And spinach'n'swiss quiche, which I hope comes out okay.
    
    -Jody
    

    I'd like to come, please - if it's not too late - I will need
    directions, though.  I'll bring something salad-y.  
    
    Linda

    Here's the  latest version of the party list. Everyone on the list

    If I get lucky and can break away, I'll try to remember my
    "Official Rocky Roccoco Spin the Pickle" game and my wretched
    attitude.
    
    Steve

    Thanks for the great party David!  Enjoyed your hospitality and
    was glad to meet many noters, both familiar and new.
    
    
                                                      Russ P.

    Okay, okay... who got to name the little critter?
    
    
    
    and what did you name it?

    from reports i've heard, i'd think his name would be "sparky"
    
    liz

    Everyone realizes this was a NON-party, don't they???

    justme....jacqui

    Except the misguided soul who showed up at midnight expecting
    singing and dancing.

    The following are the names suggested for the hamster at the party
    last week. 

Phineas T. Hamster
Gildenstern
Wilbur
Roderic
Leonardo
Capt. Kirk
Gregory
Julio
Ptolemy
Mikhail
Thor
Stanislaus
Cinnamon
Hamsterlet
Amber
Pink Paws
Butterscotch
Nutmeg
St. Francis
Johann
Fluffernutter
Swigs
Rudolph
Aloysius
Baby

    The hamster is still unnamed as I wasn't too crazy about any of names
    proposed. I've been thinking of Petri (as in the net - not the dish).
    
    Thanks for your suggestions...
    

    
    I wasn't at the party, but I would like to purpose a name.
    
    	Petster (pet-ster)  
    
    Get it ???
    
	- Lory 
    

    By the way - I take no responsibility for the spellings of the names
    proposed.  They are all in the spellings proposed.

    
    	Hamster Names:	Binky
    			Monster
    			Smaug
    			Pierre (French New Guinnea pigs ;^)
    			Sprytle
    	and, of course, - Greg

    What was the name of the hamster on "The Young Ones"?  
    
    Traffic motor accident?
    
    something graphic like that...
    
    -Jody
    

    
    When I had my male and female hamsters, their names were 
    Gidget and Gadget...
