We'd had a thread on the SeaGoth boards about having a discussion group focusing around religion and spirituality. Lots of people expressed an initial interest, so we picked a date for it. Unfortunately, although a few people tentatively committed to attending, no one bothered to send the requested e-mail to me to get directions on how to get here (i'm not putting the address and directions in the forums, where they're publically accessable), and since the scheduled date is two days away, i'm cancelling the gathering and hoping there will be enough interest to reschedule for some other time.

This isn't a dig at anyone who had expresed interest in attending but didn't follow up, just an expression of disappointment that people seemed to be interested in the concept, but weren't interested enough to confirm that they'd be here. Some have perfectly valid reasons- anyone who's ever cleaned a house for Passover knows what a chore it is, and there are other extenuating reasons as well.

So, we're open to hang out with people on Thursday, if anyone's interested in doing something or dropping by.

I'm interested in dropping by.
And I have your contact info.
So.

When's a good time?

Any particular allergies (flowers, food stuffs) that a good visitor should know of?

Any time in the evening would work- you don't want to get stuck in 520 traffic if at all avoidable, so before 7 probably wouldn't be practical (unless you're planning on heading over this way before 4).

As for the household, we're vegetarian and the younger two-thirds have some dairy allergies. The household is home to four feline-type beasties and three avian-type beasties, if you have are allergy issues with either of those.

Nope, I'm good with all manner of creatures, in the allergy department.

How about around 7:45? That gets me on the road at 7:15, missing most traffic.

Sounds like a plan.

So, are you planning to eat before heading over (hence i should have snackies ready) or would you like to have dinner here? i have several menues planned that would be great for guests (pasta & salad; meatless loaf, mashed potatoes & gravy, veggie; eggs, soysage, home made hashed browns), so if you want to join us for a meal, let me know which sounds best to you. :)

Wow.. guess i really need to finish picking up the house, eh?

[grace-batmonkey.livejournal.com]

Either is good for me - if you'd like to do dinner, I'm always glad to partake in a friendly meal. If you'd rather relax, I'm quite fine with dining prior to coming over.

Re:

[inanna.livejournal.com]

Well, i love having friends for dinner! Pick a meal, and i'll have it ready shortly after you arrive. :D

[grace-batmonkey.livejournal.com]

Nuts, I have to pick from all of that delicious sounding stuff? I'd say the pasta thing sounds very tasty, but then, so do all of the other things.

Re:

[inanna.livejournal.com]

Ok... pasta it is! Salad, probably hot bread too. :)

WARNING: house may still be a mess... but i will strive to have a dining room table available for eating. :)

Well, I'm free on Thursday and it wouldn't hurt to get out more often...

[mahariel.livejournal.com]

Problem is, I don't know if I'm free or not. I may have to work, I may not. I should do more jewelry, but may not be up for it. Of course, if I'm not up for it, I'm probably also not up for driving into seattle.

This month is just bad.

Sounds familiar. : /

I keep having these bon fires and inviting people, and trying to make plans to visit people in Seattle, and they just seem to shine me on. *go figure*

After three tries, I give up.

Hope Thurs works out for you.

Re:

[wingedelf.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Life has been insane here, and our cash flow is a little tight, or we'd be out more frequently.

[wilson-lizard.livejournal.com]

Oh, that wasn't directed at you guys! We have plans with you on Sat, to go skating. :) I do still need to know where to meet you all though.

This is just something about the area that drives me nuts. People here are always late, or don't show, and they don't call to let you know, either. grrrrr!

I was talking with Z about it the other morning.. that it seems like one of those situations where it could be me.. but I know that I wouldn't have any problem pulling a party together in Oregon, even when I haven't lived there for 10 years. I've never had a party here where more than 4 other people showed up, except our wedding. Frankly, most of the guests who came were from OR. Almost none of our Oly friends did, and we thought we were close with them too.

Sometimes, I hate this place.
