Oh hey, it's almost Easter.
Mar. 27th, 2013 12:21 pmOnce again, we're hosting Easter. Once again, you're invited.
Look, you know how this works by now, right? If you've got other plans, we're not offended. If you don't know until the last minute whether you have plans, we're not asking for RSVPs. There will be food and friendship, and anything beyond that will be determined by the attendees.
By this point, the disclaimers are pretty standard:
* This is low pressure. If you've got other plans, we're not offended if you turn us down.
* This is casual.
* Despite the Easter theme, all religions are welcome and accommodated.
* We'll provide the main dish (ham!) and several sides. Bringing something would be appreciated.
* To deal with the disparity between the last two statements: if you're Jewish or Muslim, let me know you're coming so I can make sure that there's a non-pork main dish for you. Or, don't RSVP but bring a dish yourself.
* The pool and hot tub will be NOT be open, because it's still bloody well cold out there.
* Yes, you can bring other people. The more the merrier!
* If you show up before 2pm, you will be put to work cleaning.
* If you stay later than our bedtimes, we'll ask you to turn the lights off when you leave.
* We have 3 cats. Bring your allergy medications if you need them.
