Seattle, WA Thoughts on the Halloween Party?

cool! I saw some deals on Halloween candy at Target. I'll try to stop by and get that as well as some garbage bags!

 

Yay!!

I also picked up more prizes and have a few decorations on hold at work. Jo-Ann has a sale on Halloween Decorations coming up, so I'll be picking up some stuff there too.
Anything in particular I should look for?

 

If they have glow sticks they come in pretty handy. They make cool lightsabers for pumpkins if you're gonna carve up a jedi. I already have a set of 6 glow bracelets. They were on sale... Who knows maybe we can find a use for them.

 

Ooooh! That is a good idea! I'll look for some.

And, I read through and didn't find an official time... I wanted to make official invitations to give to people at work and stuff, so I was wondering what a good time to officially start would be. I was thinking maybe 6pm? It should just be getting dark then.

How does that work? &pm would be good, too.

And Mike, when does Otter want us all out of his house?

 

I was thinking the pumpkin run and carving at 4PM leading into the regular party at 6 PM, food maybe at 7PM.

We can stay as long as we want. No curfew.

I am workig on a flyer/invitation, and should have it by tomorrow. I will post a .pdf file of it so anyone can print it or send a link to a invited guest.

Any ideas for a flyer. As I;ve said I can usually draw up stuff given a good idea. Otherwise we are stuck with my rather plain "style".

 

I asked Mike about doing some artwork for it. Hopefully we will hear back from him soon.

Other then that, just the regular info for where and when and also mention perks for coming--movies, food, door prizes, costume awards and stuff like that.

Any other suggstions?

 

I have the artwork drawn... I'll tranfer it to illustrator to clean it up... I should be able to post it tonight...

 

Yay! Thanks!

 

Wasn't sure at first if I could make it, but alas, Darth Jon will be attending.

Looking forward to seeing you all again!


Go n-ithe an cat thú, is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat.

 

YAY! You can help me bake all the cookies and cakes and pies and other treats the day before.

 

It would be an honour, m'lady.

*bows*

-----------------

Can we have a flour fight?

If you clean it up.

 

I'll see if I can get a dustbuster past security.

hmmmm... maybe I'll put you in charge of mixing then.

 

Hand or stand mixer? I don't remember which you have.

Hand. I am not cool enough for a stand one.

 

Here ya go Mike, I made it so you could overlay your text on the pumpkin. I can't take all the credit...I had help from Amy, thanks for all your help and patience.

Hey John...glad to see you'll be back...

 

This is dragonmar from Mos Everett, I got the message about the party and will be glad to attend. If your still looking for some good directions, try the Dollar Tree stores. I got some really great stuff there and its all a dollar. Look forward to the party.

 

Awesome, as always, Mike.

Okay thanks! I will be glad to see you there.

 

Jon, Mos Everett... sweet, the numbers are rising. As for Maco_Star's artwork...I don't know what to say... can't see the artwork (work computer is blocking the image and I don't have internet at my new place yet )

 

Just picked up all the plates, cups, etc. Enough for 30-40 people, so I am sure there will be extras (or not! I had no idea how many to plan for )
I also got a couple table cloths and finished up everything needed for the door prize.
Now all I need is to get food (major lists--stupid food magazones gave me tons of ideas) and to pick up some more costume prizes. And pumpkins.
... and whatever decorations we wanted.

 

I'm going to costco this weekend to get hamburgers/hotdog stuff...also was going to pick up chicken, just in case anyone wants a chicken burger instead... I was going to be on grilling duty anyways.

 

Hey guys,

Sounds like the Halloween Shindig is coming along nicely! Two questions for you all:

1) Who's paying for it all? Can we contribute? Don't tell me you guys have a hook-up for free burgers and chicken too!

2) Can we invite the Seattle Star Wars Meetup gang as well?

Thanks, see you all soon -- really looking forward to it!

 

I've been paying for everything I have been getting. And I can reimburse everyone else if they like (PM me!) It's part of being Chapter Rep.
Anyone who wants to contribute is welcome, but it's by no means a requirement.

And sure. The Star Wars Meet Up is more then welcome to join us.

 

Okie... I've got 5 bags of candy corn and 40 large garbage bags. Anything else?
