So, what's up with this? Anything in the works? I missed last year's, but will be around through Dec 23 this year. And damn if there aren't all that many shows I'm gonna be catchin' :D So, I think a party with lots of freebies is a must.

I don't think there was a holiday party last year. If so, I don't believe I was invited :(
-
and there's not one this year (wink wink)
-
you were there handing out freakin Exit Clov CDs you big moaner!!!!
I too, was wondering if there was gonna be a back bar get together this year, and was hoping that the Pixies pre-sale scalper hadn't excessively pissed off Seth

I think I was there. Too many tickets, way too many tickets...
If I am in the area at the time (vacation you know) I will be there. Hopefully not working...
-
Hook up an X-Box live so I can be there by proxy. And Markie really enjoys laughing at me while he kills me too, so you've got that going for you. A happy Markie is a fun Markie.
-
At least we won't get any of Mankie's crappy Xmas Secret Santa gifts...

Nope, two years ago I was telling my friends, "well, the 9:30 club board is a great source of information, but I'm not interested in posting anything up there myself. And NO way would I want to meet any of those people. I don't need that, no, I think they're mostly pretty odd and they like to talk in pirate lingo."

Yeah, I'm still trying to get in the spirit of things since I saw holiday decorations come out before Halloween.
-
but count me in... :D
and hook up some games so thatguy will join
-
i don't play halo but i would like an extra headset so i can laugh at smackie getting some shotgun love from markie...........
it's not the same if they can't hear you laugh........
but i'm all for the back bar drinking session of last year.......can i special request egg nog though...........

Oooo! Can we have a secret satan? Please? How about a homemade secret satan, where you have to make the gift you give?
That would be really neato.

You've really gotten into this knitting thing, haven't you?

I didn't say it had to be a knit gift-- though I wouldn't be against that. It could be drawn, folded, baked, mixed (hello, drinks!), sculpted, beaded, sewn, cooked, painted, beaten...

how many of us really want a homemade t-shirt from rhett though?
-
If it's baked, then lets make a blanket rule here. No walnuts in brownies. Seriously, who started that trend.
-
I think it was Rhett - yeah the whole nuts and chocolate together thing does nothing for me, hate nuts in cookies too

lol you guys have all these ideas except there's no actual party yet. where's our main party man, kosmo? and can we get an A-OK from the big guy, seth?
-
maybe a pre-pixies party? backstage? with the band? and an open bar?
i'm full of great ideas today...

mmmm, white chocolate macadamia nut. <drool>
btw, i bet i know what type of brownies econo would bring. . .

it's been suggested but nothing committed too... and any homemade gift from me will be burnt ;)

Thank you!
Jammin Java has the best browines, but I have to pick all of the nuts out. They tell me it's impossible to find brownies w/o nuts. Fudge w/ nuts sucks.
-
well, i guess i won't be making any chocolate pecan pies for people.

I'll take anything with lots of sugar and cholesterol in it.

Well my knob is really sweet and fat....
Is that what you were looking for?

cue the picture of a door knob...
-
If this is doable I'm willing to help plan, with help from evil satan of course. :D :p
-
I love nuts.
Why else do you think I hang out on this board? :D
Pre-Pixies is a bad idea.
1. Way too early for many of us who could not make it.
2. There are 2 different nights which might cause some problems for some for a variety of good reasons. Not everyone is free to roam out at any given time.
3. Way too short!
-
nuts are the best. they make the rest taste better...

That's what I try to tell my wife.

i vote not on the 12/10 - 12/11 weekend either cause i wont be here....like that really matters, but i thought I'd add my input.
-
I think we should have this party on 12/10 - 12/11. The omens point to an excellent night of music and tomfoolery, not to mention talking about people behind their back.
-
What gift was it that Mankie brought that people are complaining about?

How does the 18th look on everybody's dance cards?

Perfect!!! :D
And for those not in the know, I highly recommend The Comas.

i think we are missing out on a golden opportunity here.........are we sure the 10 and 11th aren't do-able...........? :D
aren't we a presumptious bunch of tossers..........we want a party with free booze........and gifts and 9.30 better throw it or i'll scream and scream and stomp my feet.............
oh and isn't this close to the delectable sam's birthday? i seem to remember receiving some wonderfully blue cake around this time last year................that better be made available too......... :D
-
and i suppose you want a special intimate acoustic show from robbie williams too...
put me down and i try to conjur up evilsanta to help plan
-
Originally posted by eddie:

That's the same night as the Wrens show in Charm City.
-
any night that is not the 3,4,5,7,8, 19 of december is a ok for me.
if we're going to have acoustic robbie williams, maybe fico's band can open for him and then charge us all $5 for his band's cd. :D
-
yeah charm city is hopping that night... myracle brah, etal at the mojo
-
I'm pretty sure the 18th is the only night I can't make it :(
-
Weekend of the 18th sounds good to me (assuming I'm cool enough to make the guest list). ;)
The weekend of the 10th is out for me (going to see Portland OR to see The Weakerthans, Arcade Fire, and Fembots - a triple bill of sweet Canuck-ness!! Sonick! Book a flight ;) ).
I'm just an intervention waiting to happen.
By the way, everyone that missed the Dogs Die in Hot Cars show last night....kudos to you! You're much smarter than I was.
-

would that be before, during or after the luna show?? ooh, would that mean we'd get to pah-tay with dean? sweet.
it would work for me, since i'm gonna be at the club anyway.

I'm joining this discussion a bit late. I can come on the 18th! I haven't seen most of the gang in a while, so it will be fun.

11th works for me
18th I'd like to catch Luna
Sam's b-day is the 20th

We'll be playing the Black Cat backstage and possibly Iota sometime in early January so stay tuned...

okay then I guess the 18th works. :)

i feel bad for sam though.........
what with him having to celebrate his birthday on the 18th with cake......
i know chimbley would be upset if it weren't so.

I'd be much obleeged if this were the weekend of the 18th, which is the only one in December I'd have a shot of making it.

Woops, that's where I'll be. I could make any other night work, probably....
-
Anyone still interested in this?
-
I'm around and mostly free until Dec 22 -- though the 18th I'm off to B'more for the Wrens (which leads me to feel pretty certain that if there's a forum party, it'll be the 18th...that's just the way it goes for me!)
-
how about the 21st? didn't we do it on a weeknight last year? for most of us work has quieted a bit then.
-
Originally posted by lily1:

Not for me! Can't do a weeknight in December at all. Same reason that I couldn't go to last year's. :( Extremely busy month for us and being in health care, we never close.
The 18th would still be ideal for me. As much as I love The Wrens, it's not the whole band and would be willing to forfeit Charles for the party. Besides, I'll be in Bethesda on the day of the 18th anyway for my other job.
What about all of the others? Would like to have some idea for scheduling purposes.
-
I'm free the night of the 18th.

the eighteenth is perfect for this Canadian.

18th works (as does the 17th, 19th - 22nd). On the 18th I will be going to Luna [as well]...(hush it sonick).
-
The 18th works, but I think I would almost prefer a weekday, the 22nd sounding perfect actually.

I'm not unemployed... yet (gulp)
-
seeing as the club is dark after 21st, the 22nd probably wont work.
-
Dark on the schedule doesn't necessisarily mean nothing is going on in the club.
-
someone say free stuff?
we cut out snowflakes at work, i put a skull and crossbones in the middle, and they refused to hang it up. stupid people.
-
Wow, at my first job we had to decorate the door for christmas. I did Bill the Cat passed out in front of the fire. It looked good, it didn't win though.
Next year just set up a speaker that wished everyone who walked by the door a merry christmas, with a bah humbug every fourth time.
-
It looks like there are various things going on in the area on Saturday. And some people will be out of town. I propose that we have the Forum Party after Jan. 1 to celebrate the New Year? Anyone with me on that?
-
I'm in Africa until Jan 16...but I'm probably destined to miss the party anyhow. :cool:
-
wow - rough life bags!

So,this thing is off,right?? Just checking on the status.........
-
i think the fact that everyone thought their non availability for certain dates, made a huge deal to the club.......as it is it should be off.......
if we really want a get together......... here's a thought................ we could organise it ourselves.....but then again none of us really like each other..........so why bother?

I'll be at the Luna concert. Won't a lot of people be there?

very true. piss on you all for christmas.
its time for friends and family, not creepy geeky people you know from the internet!

'tis a shame.
But deciding that the club should throw us a holiday party was rather presumptuous in the first place.
-
Originally posted by Chip Chanko:

Good question. I was thinking of going to the show...Never heard anything by the band but it sounds like something I might like.
You're never going to get concensus with this many people. Someone (hello List Moderators!!!) is just going to have to pick a date and go with it. It's better to have a few people there than not do it at all. And we don't need to make it anything big - just a chance for us to put faces to the names (IMHO).
-
we can make SACCHARINE the substitute forum party, i heard the dj's are good and there will gin samples... i have festive trousers for the event... the only think missing will be seeing forum members attempting to drink the bar for free
-
i think putting on concerts got in the way of this event...

It was a joke, someone said they could not go that weekend. Hence talking about people behind there back.

i know i'll be at the luna show (along with quite a few others).
never heard of luna? and this is their final d.c. show too. . . you've been missing out on years and years of bliss.
-
Well allrighty then!
December got a little hectic, so if nobody sees anything too wrong with January, I would like to suggest we run with the idea of having our little soiree in that cold and less hectic month...
The 15th looks like it would be a good day for it but go deliberate and send Kosmo back to us with a verdict.
-
Lst years forum party was the same night as Boogie Down Productions. The date you are proposing is the same date as this show:
MN8 Presents a MLK Weekend Celebration featuring Raheem DeVaughn & Fertile Ground
w/ Donnie
Is the 9:30 Club using forum holiday parties to fulfill some sort of "white people quota" for hte evening?
Then again, maybe we have scores of Donnie fans on the board.

So who's up for the 15th! Those of you going to the Pentagram show can always stop by before hand...

Drat Drat Drat... Just found out that De Novo Dahl have been scheduled to play Iota on the 15th. They weren't on Friday. Why do people do this to me, don't they know they are suppose to check in first!!!!!!
-
The 15th works for me but would love, if possible, to know before I commit to which Sunday I have to work before I turn my calendar in which is due in a day or so.
Either way, happy holidays to Seth and all at the 9:30 Club!!!!!
-
are we still on for this saturday? if so, what time and are we doing a gift exchange again?
-
no forum party this weekend, i dropped the ball on this one and didn't report back promptly enough to those behind the curtain. i guess it's the stocks for me. blame it on the gamecube... Other dates are currently being batted around. if you are looking for something to do Sat, swing by Iota.
-
boo hoo! i was looking forward to it.
