welcome to Jerry's 5th B-day party invite details.

Due to budget and space constraints
THIS IS NOT AN OPEN INVITATION.

Things do fall thru the cracks, so if you expect /ed to see an invite, drop me a p.m.
if you dont see one in a day or two.

If you were not directed here by an e-vite from me,
please understand,
this was the best place available to me for posting
my usual exhausting littany of details.




Check back HERE for DETAILS as I build this entry.

...the techno monkies are giving me a HARD TIME today...

Come and celebrate
Jerry’s 5^th birthday milestone
in High Egyptian Style
~
(5 thousand miles, ‘Due UP’ in to the cosmos, to be exact!)

FYI. This is not just some dumb kid party,
Jerry will be the center of attention, of course,
but there will be plenty of g’rup (“bonk bonk, to the head“)
interest to keep the ‘dults sane.

Were having a ~STARGATE~ party…
JUST for the excuse of building a BIG ArSS pyramid
out of cardboard boxes

The serious event info, like time, date and place,
are in the e-vite.
RSVP on the e-vite web site, thankyou.

all DETAILS behind cut



( Read more... )

  Okay, it STARTED OUT as a "safari to Egypt" theme because 'Toot and Puddle' built a cardboard box pyramid... BUT THEN (dum dum dum) the kid pulled a kid thing and said "I want a SPACE party" (Then he whizzzzed round the room like a rocket...) and since I'd already gotten -stuff- (and set my heart to building a pyramid out of cup cakes...) I suckered (Erp, I mean) GENTLY INFLUENCED him by showing him the movie STARGATE.  

HENCE, pyramids and aliens. (Which is okay, cause we all KNOW the aliens REALLY built the pyramids... even though some FOOLS think it was Elvis. I imagine -that- has SOMETHING to do with the Memphis connection...) 
   

So, dry clean those space suits, dust off the pith helmets and set phazers to FUN!!! (Lord help us... the puns are fruitful.) (see **** note below.)

Available to the kiddies all day:

- Rob’s stupendous STARGATE obstacle course.
- Sand box dig for artifacts of alien or earthly variety.
- and whatever else we dream up.
* (all the above are Subject to reality!)

Eric (Jerry's papa)
has agreed to entertain the kids (big and medium)
with a little show. (An ageless juggling variety act.)

And can you say 'super duper splediferous photo op'
with a bunch of toilet paper wrapped mummies
in front of a cardboard box pyramid
wearing self crafted Egyptian jewelry?
I CAN!!!
BRING YOUR CAMERAS!


RAIN?
NOW HERE'S THE THING... Its April...
so IF it threatens to rain, the party will be shunted back three weeks.
Rain postponement will be decided by the 16th.
(**Rain Date, May 8. Unless it rains again,
in which case you’ll be contacted again.)

As ALWAYS, I'll probably endeavor to overdo it
on the “finger food…”
Plan to enjoy!

You need not bring fudz unless you’ve got one of them persnickety kidlets
who wont eat anything.
HOWEVAH!!!
If you've an Egyptian delicacy or Alien edible to show off,
do feel free to bring it!

( LET ME KNOW NOW ABOUT ANY ALLERGIES!)
(last year there was a last minute peanut allergy surprise
that caused me to loose part of my menu.)

See our cell numbers on the e-vite.
 Use Rob’s only DAY OF please.



Driving and Parking.

GPS and MAP QUEST have some trouble finding the house…
We are closest to the corner of State and Beverly.
BEST parking option on BEVERLY.
(DO NOT PARK in the Jewelry store lot.
Use that for loading and unloading ONLY.



* FYI: We have cats.  (and dust) Be medicated!



** A note about the BOX PYRAMID.

Please bring larger boxes, in clean and decent-ish condition.
ONES YOU WONT NEED BACK. Close to plain-ish brown preferred.
FEEL INSPIRED TO PRE-DECORATE!!
(Beer or liquor store boxes, turned inside out, would work great.)
If each family/group/person/couple brings five boxes,
we should have a fantastic result.



*** T.P. Mummies.

We have t.p. for each kid sized contestant. If you, the parent, know your kid will probably want to wrap YOU instead... or if you wanna do it too just for giggles... you MIGHT wanna bring some more t.p. from home.




**** Dress.

Come in play-clothes for an interstellar safari
that MAY involve tempera paint, markers, sidewalk chalk, 
Flying Alien Guts and/or excessive Glitter!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

(Military Fatigues, Egyptian formal wear, archeological finery,
safari wear, little gold symbols painted on your foreheads or
-an anachronistic blend there of- encouraged
by tempting you with PRIZES for costumery for all!
Yes, you can even do trendy steam punk!)

~also~
CASH is Pharaoh!
(Get it, cash is KING?…)

The kid does not lack for “STUFF” and
our apartment is small,
so
donations towards memberships at cool places like the zoo
or such like would be FANTABULOUS!

Sorry if that seems crass,
but it’s Thoth’s honest truth!
