*IMPORTANT* You are invited to a party.

[andrewducker]

On August 21st this year, I shall be 35. Therefore, on August 18th this year I shall be having a birthday party. You are invited. I am aware that a large chunk of you are distant people who will not be able to make it to Edinburgh, and that numerous of you are distant people who don't even know me except for finding the occasional link amusing. But those of you who can make it are welcome to come by and see whatever flat I'm living in by then...

The party will have a theme. That theme is "Villains". If you can't think of someone evil you think looks cool then frankly you're just not trying. You do not have to dress up, however, if you have a note from your doctor reading "The carrier has a phobia of wearing silly costumes, and is thus excused from ever having fun."

Sounds like an excellent idea! We'll see nearer the time if we can make it happen.

I did get at least one person to attend my (gulp) 40th birthday party yesterday by putting the invite on lj as well as emailing, so hope the widening the net thingy works for you too!

This sounds like a good excuse for a trip up to Edinburgh. If we were to come up for the weekend would you be able to recommend somewhere for us to stay?

[andrewducker]

There's a very good 5-star hostel in town that I can recommend. of course, during the festival it tends to get packed - but if you book in advance it should be do-able.

Aha!

Excellent, thank you!

You can probably stay at mine for free if you want - I have a spare double bedroom.

I is thinking that that date should be fine for my attending a party...but its so far in advance - keep reminding me!!, have a nosy at my journal for last nights run down and piccys

[andrewducker]

My apologies for not making it to yours - I hope it was fun!

Dress up as a villian

[alpha-c3ntaur.livejournal.com]

Does that mean that we should all dress up as polititians then?

Or do you mean more fantasy based villians?

Re: Dress up as a villian

[andrewducker]

Politicians is fine - I expect _someone_ to turn up as George Bush or Tony Blair.

Since I've already got to that milestone, I suppose I should come and support you through the trauma.
For note from doctor can I substitute violent aversion to wearing costume (maybe) ?
Sounds like fun though.

[cybik.livejournal.com]

As far as I know I shall be in Scotland and not busy at that point, though that /might/ change...

[moosedevil.livejournal.com]

Costumes yay!

[lilitufire.livejournal.com]

Sorry dude, wrong country :) Thanks for the invite though.

I wish we could be there, but we are flying out to Japan that day. Have fun.

*pouts* Stupid being in another country. *kicks USA* I miss the UK in general so much. And I didn't get nearly enough time in Edinburgh. *sigh* One of these days I really do have to scrounge up the funds to get the hubby & myself over there. My poor guy's never even been to Edinburgh at all....

"You do not have to dress up, however, if you have a note from your doctor reading "The carrier has a phobia of wearing silly costumes, and is thus excused from ever having fun."

Would a note from my wife be sufficient? :P

Not that I'd want one. So many villains... So many costumes...

[azalemeth.livejournal.com]

I'd love to come, really, I would, but 400 miles is a bit of a journey...

[despotliz.livejournal.com]

It's ages since I've been to Edinburgh and I have been promising to visit a friend there for many months now, so I'll let you know closer to the time whether I can make it to your party. I hope so :)

[andrewducker]

That would be very cool.

[drainboy.livejournal.com]

It's in my diary now. I do my best!

[andabusers.livejournal.com]

Dang, I will be daaaahn saaaaahf.

[andrewducker]

Och well, I'm sure there'll be a few more parties before you abandon us forever!

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

I reserve the right to wear a false mustache and let that be sufficient costuming.

[andrewducker]

I'm afraid that to be a true villain you need a false moustache _and_ a goatee.

But if you're wearing nothing except a false moustache then I'll let you off with a warning :->
