Unfortunately it looks like my parents won’t let me out until I finish writing my 4 overdue papers, which probably means that I won’t be free until Friday night. Therefore, this Friday, May 21st, I will be holding a GINORMOUS GOING-AWAY PARTY, the day before I fly out to San Francisco to intern with the Electronic Frontier Foundation! OK, maybe not ginormous… It will be 8pm-1am at my house in Morris Plains, New Jersey. If you do not know where my house is, e-mail or IM me.
Everyone who wants to see me before I leave for California is invited, and I’m always open to meeting new people as well, so feel free to bring your friends! (or yourself, if I don’t know you yet) However, don’t bring them if they have no interest in seeing or meeting me, but just want to help trash my house 
If you could help defray the costs of this party by bringing food/drinks/cups/plates, that would make me your friend forever.
This will have to be a stone soup sort of party, since I don’t have time to plan it properly due to my papers. I’ve asked a couple of friends already to help me think of and implement cool things to do, but the ideal would be for everyone to bring awesome ideas and equipment for having a good time with them. Then we can just pick whatever seems the coolest!
We have a small yard which is good for more restrained outdoor games, but it is next to a hill, so balls tend to escape down the hill and force people to go fetch them. If you have musical instruments, bring ’em! If you have a laptop, bring it, there will be Wi-fi internet, and we can have LAN games! We should have a TV, so if you want to watch a DVD or play video games, bring your system! Bring super soakers, nerf guns, whatever floats your boat
