Wow, I just got home. Some friends and I started setting up for the party at 2pm and were still putting the finishing touches on when guests started arriving around 7. I am POOPED. Here's what we did:

Life-sized game of Clue with furnature collected from several party helpers
rented two fog machines to a little smoke to make the Clue game creepy
had buddy Nathan play creepy piano music to add to Clue being creepy
Some friends played some music because they're a band and that's what bands do for friends
ordered, like, a eight pizzas
borrowed a ping pong table
borrowed a pool table (those damn things are HARD to move)
rented an air hockey table
borrowed 4 XBoxes and 4 ~28-32 inch TVs for 16 player Halo goodness

The party ended about 10:30 or so and after taking everything down and cleaning up, I didn't get home until about 11:45 or so. I am so frickin sore and tired from all the furnishings moving.

I dressed up as Super Mario. 🙂
-red sweater
-blue overalls
-my timberland work boots
-white gloves
-red beret (sp?) with a hand-drawn Mario emblem on paper, cut out, and taped to the front
-cheap plunger from the thrift store
 
Yeah, people have to work tomorrow ya know. No pics of the outfit. I didn't take any. I saw the walls flash a few times, but I don't know who had the cam or if I was in the shots. I'll see if I can find out though. 🙂

Would you have flown thousands of miles for a three hour party? :Q

perhaps it is just my hollywood ways, but that doesnt really sound like a party then.

So if you have a friend come over one evening and sit his ass on the couch until 9am the next morning, that would be a good party? Just because it lasted a long time?? 😕 It should have started sooner. If I would have thought about it, I would have gotten started early in the morning and had an all afternoon/evening thing. Oh well. This is the first major party like this that I've helped set up. Live and learn. 🙂

he never said a party is solely the hanging-around of people until breakfast time
perhaps running late is just a condition a party must meet for him

and seriously, all that work for only 3.5 hours?
i would have duct taped them to chairs and kept them around for no good reason other than for them to admire all the preparation that went into it
