    So could somebody post all of the details in one post? i.e. where/when/BYOB?/crash-space-able?

    Hey, who invited the Tusken? All they do is make odd grunting noises, break things and are basically rude, uncivilized roughnecks!! Probably smell like Bantha poo, too!! :)

    Locations don't get posted in public forums. Also, although adults of legal age may certainly imbibe with BYOB, it is not a drinking party but a family dinner party, so crash space is not available. Since everyone is supposed to bring a food item or dish, I guess it is more BYOF than BYOB.

    Remember, since there is no street parking and the lawn is mostly bare clay at this point, if it is raining bring an extra pair of shoes for everyone to change into or feel free to go shoeless if you choose. As of right now it looks like it will just be cloudy. No muddy shoes in the house please.

    Not sure if I mentioned it before but Tracey will be making a ham to go with the turkey that James and Julie and their clan is bringing.

    Ryan, to address your question, we only have GH I and II for the ps2, not GH III.

    Don't forget to bring canned goods and other items for the Food Bank donation.

    WTF?!?!?! NO CRASH SPACE?!? BRING EXTRA SHOES?!?

    Are we having a party or a frackin' wine tasting?


    Dude, come on over it will be fun. Joe's house does look like one of them Better Homes n friggin' Gardens houses though so I normally just make a run for the basement. I'm always afraid I will break something. :D

    What? Your daughter comes before US??? Sheeesh... figure out your priorities man...

    Clarification on James' post, I usually SEND him to the basement AFTER he has broken a few things :p

    I'm not normally a no shoes in the house person, but with the work in the front where everyone has to park being mostly bare sticky clay still, we would never be able to get that stuff out of the cream berber carpet. Maybe I can have James be the shoe check person when y'all come in! I'm going to make him say "Welcome to Fanforce International Airport!" to everyone. Bottom line, if your shoes are clean, feel free to wear 'em. Come on down, eat, drink and be Meriwyn... err.. merry.

    Oh, James, it obvious you haven't been to a wine tasting, because people there usually get smashed a sip at a time. 8-}

    This is soooo last minute but I'm changing what I'm bringing. I read through the list I figured "Trash Compactor Potatoes" with "Dianoga Gravy" might fit better. Hope that works since everyone is at the Troop...

    See everyone in a few hours.

    I will have to admit, Tracie and I make a mean band on Guitar Hero! Put that TV on a stand so I don't have to *cough* get on my knees */cough* every time I play!

    Thanks again guys!

    Thats one cute baby! Rachael and Emma look ok also...

    Some guy named Troy came by, but once we realized he was just trying to sell me insurance for my lawn tractor, we kicked him out. It was too late to save the food though...
    [image=http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2380/2115709486_53638b1569.jpg]

    These two met at the party and I think they will have a happy future together. They both seem to have an affinity for large cheesy things covered in meat...

    Tracey and I had a great time, and we hope all of you did also! James, I will be sending you a bill for cleaning the rug of all that mud you dragged in. To be honest though, I'm glad you didn't take your shoes off. Paul, I have more ham left over if you want some more. Aimee, I want that ice cube back. Rachael, hope you didn't gouge out your eyes after seeing Tony and Tracey doing team yoga in the kitchen. I will pay for your therapy to help you through that. Ryan, Tony and Aimee, you stayed so long that I am charging you for your part of the bills this month.

    Ok, now that I have once again burned the Holiday Special video out of my head...

    Thank you Tracey and Joe for allowing us the destruction of your home!
    It was a great time, I'm very thankful this holiday season for the friendships that
    have been made. Jean and I had a great time, and wish everyone the best!

    Some of my own personal highlights:

    Joe's Kielbasa - yep, seen it.
    Tasty, but small...something about not the size that matters...

    Guitar Hero - I have no coordination at all.
    Ryan ROCKS!

    Troy - You made me feel so underdressed!
    (SHOW OFF)

    Great kids!!!
    I was quite impressed with the kids, really! You could hardly tell that
    there were any in the house, very cool indeed!

    *ahem* I would like to thank the academy (and James) for my misspelling of Tracey's name, next time I'll just do the cool thing and say "Joe's wife"; kinda like what I do with Aimee, but that's because she likes it.

    I had a great time last night! Thanks so much to Tracey and Joe for allowing us all over! Since joe said the party was over at 9:00PM - we decided to say until 2:30am just to push the envelope.

    I'm glad to see all of those who were able to make it, I have a great time everytime I am with the Richmond FanForce!

    You guys are the best!!!

    Thanks Joe & Tracey for being such great hosts!!! Your house is gorgeous!! Not too bad for a couple of Yankees!! I had a great time and, as always, enjoyed the company of much cherished, wonderful friends. Funny how a little old movie has evolved into what we see now in the Fan Force, 501st and Rebel Legion; and the camraderie that has developed as a result.

    Joe, I'm only going to say this once, but I think your wife is magical..... after playing with her I decided to play GH3 again and beat two of the four remaining songs on expert! I Wish Aimee had powers like that, I did stuff with her and the only thing I got was a curious rash.....(in lieu of a "All I got was this stupid T-shirt" joke, I couldn't bring myself to do it)

    I have to agree with you there Ryan, she is magical.

    A little penicillin should knock that rash right out.

    Our tusken was sidetracked by his girlfriend, I spoke to him about it at the Disney troop. She had made some alternative arrangements. I did have to check a pile of rags I saw on the side of the road yesterday just to make sure that wasn't him in costume laying in a ditch.

    Let it be known openly and loudly proclaimed that I am in love with you all. Joe, thank you and your wife so much for allowing this event to be held within the hallowed halls of your stately home. The mansion carried a special air filled as it was with friendship and laughter. Truly a delight at this time of year. Your Star Wars Tree is exceptional to behold and I would hope all were as excited by it as I was (of course I'm easily excitable). I cant seem to get enough of you (well about an hour is enough)when I'm in my Star Wars vibe. Special thanks to Luke for bringing back the memories and extra special thanks to the rest of you for making this Fanforce one of true friendship.
