Help, what am I going to wear? I've decided I can't in all good conscience do the shellsuit & England t-shirt idea, because either I'm laughing at goths (which would be rude) or I'm laughing at people in shellsuits & England t-shirts (see every thread about the word 'pikey' ever).

So I'm thinking I might come as a slake moth.

Fantastic! And nigh impossible! Sweet!

Oh, god, I have to get bodypaint and spirit gum, like, NOW. Do shops even sell spirit gum anymore, or am I living in a Blytonesque bubble?

Damn. And I need red paint that doesn't melt polystyrene...

not sure about the spirit gum, but use food colouring instead of paint. if you need it thick/gloopy, make up some cornflour/water gloop and mix the food colouring into it.

(Good god, fly ,what was your costume, the PikeyGoth (ugh))

Rah. I think, having realised I have another halloween party the following w/end and canvassed opinions on costumes for that one, am going with silly/annoyingly referential costoom.

I'd like to come along to you party, if that's OK.

I'm not coming if he's coming.

Oh, and I may have persuaded Meme Bugg into this escapade. Rah!

I heard a rumour that Steve and James might be going.

I've been meaning to reply to this telling you I won't be coming for a while now but failed miserably until now. But yes - a party deferred from last year is finally happening (don't ask) that weekend - have fun kids...

I hear that Steve and James put on a great floor show.

Dammit. I was working on my costume and have managed to break 5 (five!) lasers in the process.

Other than that, everything is proceeding as I have forseen.

See you all there,
chris

And I just bet that someone says "you should really have lasers with that costume".

Who's going down from London? Is there anyone I (we) can cadge a lift with? I'll pay for all the petrol if there is...

I fear my car may still be knackered... (I'll let you know if it's fixed, though... it may be, but don't hold your breath).

Although I kind of like the idea of all meeting up first and going up on the train in costume. It'd be funny.

If I end up going, I will definitely be travelling up in costume. It will make it less weird if I am with a group of other people also in costume, but I have no qualms either way on Halloween.

Even though the party is actually the Day Before Halloween?

And you told me you'd be too busy at this time of the year.

Am now not entirely sure if I can afford to get there and have a costume. Bah. Framdammit.

I'll do me best though.

Goddammit... sorry, guys, there's been a pooter-based error.

Last week spooks and I had a chat and decided that we'd reached party saturation point, and that we'd better cut the invitations off from then, as the house was already going to be completely full as it was, and any more would run the risk of a) really pissing off our neighbours, and b) would end up far too messy. Plus we're going to be stretched putting people up even cutting it off there.

SO I posted here last Saturday (16th) advising that we'd have to leave it at that, and that anyone who hadn't already confirmed, in person, by PM or on this thread by 16th wouldn't be able to come - I also asked that no one ask any else to come. Felt quite harsh about it, but there you go, it's a question of space and practicalities.

Unfortunately for whatever reason, my poxy dial-up access chose this week to seriously act up, and the post, well, didn't post.

I think it's probably just Meme Buggerer and Gypsy Lantern from Barbelith that are affected - we've had to knock back a few more friends of friends over the last few days, too. Serious apologies, guys - hope to catch up with you soon. I'll PM this to both of you to make sure you get it...

BUMP!

It's on Saturday - anyone need direction, PM me for them and a phone number if you don't already have it...

So, dudes, did anyone survive this 'un? How did it go?

Wicked. I'm knackered now. Jack's Hellboy costume was really quite something.
Absolutely wonderful to see- and get monged with- everyone (even if it took me an hour to recognise Bill under the mask); a huge shame I had to leave so early in the morning.

Great party. Jack and Spooky=the hosts with the MOST.

Fantastic party - thanks to everyone who came. The place is more or less back to normal now - Stoatman, we've still got your mate's cricket bat!

Next year, I think we'll have a smaller, invitation only bash... We had close to sixty people in the house at one point, and only one Hellboy with a mop...
 
 
Jack The Bodiless
11:02 / 02.11.04
Oh, in honour of spooks' new party game, we'll be compulsorily electrocuting all house guests from now on...

It was worth going just to see Hellboy cleaning up fag ends with a dustpan and brush... :]

Not to mention getting to catch up with Cass and Seth as well as the lovely charming hosts.

Thanks guys!
