Party update
Jun. 26th, 2006 02:40 pmWell, the party Saturday went really well. We counted about 25 people (including us) there, and everyone seemed to have a great time. At one point the party was spilling outside because of lack of space. There were plenty of desserts, and we'll have leftovers for quite a while. And we still can't seem to get rid of the beer we've had left over from the last few parties. We don't get beer drinkers, since they aren't really drinking-type parties, more good conversation type parties. The perrier went really fast, and some of the wine, but not much else drink-wise.
The last people wound up leaving around midnight, which is actually earlier than most of our previous parties.
Several people who said they would be there, or probably would be there, never showed up. I'm a little worried they might not have been able to find parking, since apparently it was already really bad when the first people showed up at 7. I'm not sure what else was going on that night, but it sounds like it was far worse than normal. I told my roommate we should probably start the next one earlier and encourage people to show up earlier because of the parking. It's that or find a bigger place in an area with more parking. But right now we really can't afford to move.
Well, hopefully by the next one my roommate will have found some work, so we'll be in a little better financial shape. And at least we had that, since we definitely can't afford to go to Westercon next weekend.
