Nash, TN 1st Annual (?) New Year's Eve Party

As previewed in the earlier thread, I think we'll go ahead and set the New Year's Eve Party at my house starting around 6 or so 12/31/03 and going on until the morning of 1/1/04. Directions are forthcoming, but I live in Antioch not too far from the new Wal-Mart in Hickory Hollow.

Here's the current RSVP list for the New Year's Eve Party (updated as of 12/27/03):
DVDMaster: Yes
Obi-Tn: Yes
Scruff: possible Yes
Kir Kanos: No
Hama-Ryu Kinnebi: Yes
TamboFett: No
Toymaster: Yes (for awhile)
GMSepiroth: Unsure, No
skip1: No
Elan-Rai: No
JediToren: No
JediChic07: Unsure, Maybe

Names listed reflect our regular attenders and those who responded to the Interest thread. Any other NADers who are wanting to be more active should post here an RSVP.

Currently the menu is Chili and snack foods. Hama's bringing the non-alcholic bubbly (no real stuff please), post here if you're willing to bring any other food, drinks, activities.

Currently the agenda includes a movie marathon, marathon to be decided. Currently thinking of either a Trilogy of Trilogies (i.e. Original SW Trilogy, Indy Trilogy, & Back to the Future Trilogy) or a best of the year marathon (i.e., X2, Matrix Reloaded, T3, Pirates of the Caribbean, Italian Job, Daredevil, Bringing Down the House, etc - Depends on feedback). And/Or a tournament of board games, although I may need people to bring folding chairs/tables if we go this way. I could get one or two, but if we got a bunch of games going may need a little support.

Any other ideas would be appreciated. This will be nothing nearly as ellaborate as the Lester Halloween bash, but will be a great chance to show off the new home and provide a chance for NAD to gather once again (it's been October since we had an official gathering) to prep for a new year. RSVP if you haven't already & send in feedback for ideas and things you can bring.

 

Alright, this here's a bump to get further imput from y'all. If your status has changed (especially the maybes & unsures noted in blue ) please post an update. Also so far no one has voluntered stuff, so if you like a particular soft drink or snack/finger food then you better bring it. Otherwise there may just be water and Wal-Mart Diet cokes to drink.

To better fit in with those who may not want to stay a long time, then we are changing things a little bit to be considered an open house kind of thing. So for those like Toymaster who may not have a ton of time there's no need to stay for a particular length of time. As far as movies I may shift things around a little bit. The main problem with Trilogy of Trilogies is that everyone's seen those films several times. Sound off if there is a newer or hard to find DVD you want to see; there's a good chance I've got it. One film I hope to work in is "Free Enterprise" about adult Sci-Fi fans who work on a film project after hooking up with William Shatner. Anyways if there's a title you want to see then call out the title. Worse case sceniro, people may just go up to the DVD Room (yeah, that's right, room) to pick out a title.

Hope to hear from more of you soon!

 

Well this past Friday I emailed Toymaster the directions to the party. Hopefully he'll soon be back to send them out on the mailing list.

Still waiting to hear from the maybes. Jay, Shannon, Glenn do any of y'all know if you will or won't be able to come yet? We're getting close to time and need a head count.

 

D'oh! Forgot I was supposed to send those out to everybody. Thanks for the reminder! I'll get the e-mail list updated and send it out right after Christmas.

 

Well, it's official that we won't be able to make it. There's just too much going on around here. Hopefully, we'll make a trip over there sometime in January along with Tracy. Hope everyone has a happy new year!

 

Thanks for letting me know Jay! If we make this a regular thing, then maybe more planning can be made for a bigger blow-out next year.

OK, that means that the confirmed people are Hama & Scruff (long live SG-Delta!). JediChic & Obi-TN I'm still waiting to hear from, and hopefully the Lords of Channel 4 will allow Toymaster a stop-over. Keep sending in those RSVPs!

 

Actually, I'm not 100% sure I'll be there.

 

Ken, you're no longer 100%??? Uh oh...I've got a bad feeling about this. So it may just be Dylan and I???? We can still make this work.

 

If you schedule it, they will come...

 

Chances are good that I will be there at least for a little while!

 

OK. I'm pretty sure I'm coming. I picked up the LOTR Trivial Pursuit (and Monopoly and two versions of chess) at Toys R Us during their buy 1, get 1 free offer.

 

All sounds good. I was close to canceling, but looks like this is still a go! Slight change in menu, we'll now have nacho cheese dip, pizza, and assorted dips. I'll have a selection of cokes sound off if there's something in particular you desire. I know some have a hankering for Dr. Pepper so I'll have at least a couple of liters of that with my standard diet drink offerings. Anyone with leftovers from celebrations are encouraged to bring them along with them. Glenn bring you're games and we'll put them to good use. EDIT: Thanks Toymaster for sending out the directions for me! See y'all then!

 

Directions have been sent! I work the morning show New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, so my plans right now are to go home and sleep after work, then get up and stay up and out all night before going back to work the next morning (just like last year). Don't know what time I'll be there, but I'll definately make an appearance!

 

Zach -- any last-minute items you need me to bring?
