New Years Eve this year is on Sunday so are people intrested in doing this on Friday or Saturday?
-
What about the shindig at Nessa's on the 29th? That's pretty darn close to New Year's. Isn't crashin' Nessa's place enough end-of-the-year mischief for y'all?
-
See this is why I didn't want to do that movie after Christmas, I don't want watching movies (even if they are funny) to replace our normal TWG parties. We only do 4 of these a year (if that) and watching a movie is something we can do any time but being able to hang out, talk, and play games with everyone isn't something that we can do whenever.
-
Very tempting. Wish I could make it. Don't let Fell convince you I don't like you guys anymore. :) I'll have to settle for Munchkin with a few new people. I've never played it before, so it might just become a tradition.
-
Either Friday or Saturday works for me.
-
Considering everything I know that's going on at other's houses the days around that week it might be best to have this at 42 and I's house and do boardgames/Wii party.
-
A Wii party? I'm tempted to come!
-
I thought the movie at Nessa's was on the 27th or 28th.
-
The movie is the 28th, which is a thursday.
-
Cool. 29th is bad for me, but I could do 30.
Actually, now the more I think about it, I might not be able to something at all. Our gimungous TWG Magic game is New Year's day, and that's already plenty of time away from my family. I don't know if I could do another one.
-
W00t! Wii! That would rock--until the next day when we're all sore.
-
I may have rayman raving rabbits by then too which is the party game right now.

Why don't we have the TWG New Years party be the same thing as the TWG Magic party? A bunch of people can play magic, a bunch of people can play other things, and then we can switch off. Or just fill up on snacks. Y'know, whatever.
-
That's not a bad plan, though non-participants in the Magic draft would have to realize that the rest of us will be tied up playing Magic for most of the event. It could be fun, though.
-
That's why I didn't want to combine the two, we've got a large draft going on that will take most of the day.
-
Combining the New Years Party with the Magic Draft would be like having two events in the same place. I don't really see the two mingling well together, IMO.
-

Uh... come again? Most of the day? How much time are we committing to with this thing, exactly?
I don't think it would be a problem simply because all our past TWG parties have been nothing but people breaking up into groups to do various activities. How would one group doing a Magic draft be any different?
-
The man has a point.
-
The one year I fix it so I can be in town New Years Eve and what are you people doing? Nothing.
I have no luck. Or bad karma. Or both.
-
There's always Munchkin in Seattle... ;)
-
New Years Eve is a Sunday so of course we wouldn't be doing anything.
-
Well, I just decided to come to town, and Fish and I are going to do something awesome for New Years. After all, if my singles ward could have game nights on Sunday evenings, then we can certainly do something cool like have an Avatar Season I marathon (which is my vote) on New Years Eve. Or maybe we'll borrow an MSTK from you guys, because I haven't seen any of the new ones. And I'd like a rematch with Tage in Fluxx, or whatever that crazy game was, because I totally should have won.
-
Waaah! Now I wanna come watch Avatar.
-
I would lend you my boxset but EUOL has it, he's probably forgotten that he has it as well.
Sadly Season 2's box set is still about 9 months away.
-
That long till season 2? Too bad. I have season 1--been watching it again on my travels. :)
-

*Fish laughs
Whatever. We've totally done things on Sunday's before--MST3K when stacer was in town for example.
-
That long till season 2? Too bad. I have season 1--been watching it again on my travels. :)
Season 2 just finished about 2 weeks ago (if that) and while they are starting with 4 episode DVD releases next month I like to wait for the boxset since they have more extras.
And Fish, that was because Stacer was in town, going to hell is worth it for when a friend visits but not for celebrating the new year. ;)
-
Well, if we go to hell, at least MsFish and I will be there together. ;)
I know, I totally wish the box set of Avatar Season II was coming out sooner, but I'm willing to wait for it to come out rather than buy the individual DVDs, especially since I've already seen all of Season II on TV. Thanks for the offer of the loan, Sprig, though I'm not sure if it was of Avatar or MST3K. I'm getting Avatar Season I box set for Christmas, so I'm really excited, and I want Fish to see it because she hasn't and it is sooooo awesome. ;D
-
If you're going to make me watch Avatar, I'm going to make you watch Buffy. Be warned.
-
That's not a threat, it's a promise!
I'm totally okay with that.
-
Grr. There goes my threat. I'll have to try harder.
-
New Years Eve this year is on Sunday so are people intrested in doing this on Friday or Saturday?
Was this party cancelled? Is the Rifftrax party the official TWG New Years Party or is there still going to be the games party?
(Friday night was a better night for me than Thursday and so I'd hoped to crash your Friday night party. : )
-
Not sure what I'm going to do yet, might do something Saturday (like a Wii party or boardgames), would prefer not do it Friday unless that's the most popular day.
-
looks like people are more instresed in just adding this to Mondays activity (special magic draft) so not going to do anything at my place.
-
It looks like my boys will be home before we start this, so I'll need details--like where and when, exactly, are we doing this and what other activities are planned.
-
Fell should have sent you an e-mail but it's Monday at noon no other activites are planned aside from magic but there will be other game there.
-
Thanks for including me in your party!
-
Well, we sinners had a great time on New Years Eve at Fellfrosch's house. Fell, Fell's wife, me, Tage, Oldie, and someone known as Lovebasket played Munchkin. Oldie won. :) Then we made jokes about how long Dick Clark has been on TV. We decided he must be a creature of the undead kept alive by a sorceress necromancer who poses as his wife. We drank Martinellis and celebrated the coming in of the New Year together. It was fun! And I enjoyed seeing Fell and his wife Dawn again, as well as their darling new addition Morgan.
Thanks for making my visit fun! ;D
-
I totally should just have come down there. Cursed lack of any kind of money. Given that my New Year's Eve was about as bad as it could get, I could have used another TWG hangout instead. So low stress in comparison.
-
Fell, Fell's wife, ...their darling new addition Morgan.
Yeah, she's the cutest thing, ever. It was worth it to ignore the Rifftrax Ep. 1 with her in my lap.
-
Fell, I put pictures and some commentary up in my livejournal regarding New Year's Eve. Since you don't have an lj account, I'll put a link here so you can download the pics if you want. You should show your wife, too--I really like Dawn. It sure was fun! (http://zeliot.livejournal.com/25435.html#cutid1) :)
-
Muchas gracias. Though I have to wonder what you mean by "I don't remember him being that funny"--should I be flattered or insulted? It looks like I need to try harder...or I need to have tried harder before. I'll get on that.
-
Yeah, get out your time machine and go back and try to entertain me more! Definitely a good reason to risk messing up the space/time continuum. ;)
-
Ninja monkeys are currently on an assignment to disrupt all time travel. It makes things too messy, and gets in the way of my plans. They have been outfitted with time disruption centers and can get on the scene fast enough to prevent any attempted time travel before it actually occurs, historically speaking.
-
I fear no ninja monkey.
-
that's becasue they're not threatening you. They're just shutting down your time machine.
