OK , here is the story in shortened form---I got roped into hosting a partylite candle party---works like a tupperware party, except with candles. I have come to realize how few people I know in Maplewood and I need to get some more people to attend, so I decided to invite all of Maplewood. There will be wine, cocktails, and finger foods. The party is at my house in Maplewood on April 20th at 7:30 PM. If anybody likes candles or just wants to come and hang out, please PL me for details or you can email me at vmogavero@mlp.com---Thanks
Vinny |

I'll come!
Is there a minimum purchase? Will you put the dogs away so my cat doesn't get scared and puke on your furniture? |

No minimum purchase required---just come and hang out----I will think of something to do with the dogs---that is actually a good question---hadn't really thought about them |

Vinny - I'll come, too. I would hate for you to feel like you don't know anyone, when in fact, I know you know me.

"There will be wine, cocktails, and finger foods."
Thanks Vinny - it'll be just the 75 or so of us.
Seriously, I'll try to make it - Las - you need a date? |

You bet, Mem. Are you going to demonstrate to the group how you can light a candle without using an incendiary device? |

Meet at 7:15? Also - yoga tonight? (sorry for thread drift Vinny) |

Since we're drifting, no-go for yoga; and I won't be able to get to Vinny's until 7:45 or 8. Is that too late to meet then head over? Vinny?
Yes, the * * * -lite. Not that things could get out of hand twice in a row, but I'll check with Vinny to make sure he has a fire extingisher in the room and see if he can advise his guests to use alcohol-free hair products. |

I have two fire extinguishers at the house so that is covered---we will need to be careful with the alcohol-based drinks though---I love party tricks--so bring it on Mem |

Las - Come by and get me - I'll wait.
Thanks for reminding me of the first *** event - I haven't been down my basement since. But as a result, I learned a lot, so this next round should be accident free. Vinny, do you have 3 or 4 room sized clear plastic tarps? Oh, and a snowblower?
Thanks. |

hey.... I need a date to Vinny's candle party, too
don't have any party tricks that involve fire or my ***, though. Is this a problem?
[PS - mem, I know what to do with the tarps, but what do you do with the snowblower????] |

I will work on getting the tarps---I don't have a snow blower, but I do have a leaf blower---can that be used instead---I can't wait for this party---I should add entertainment by MEM on the flyers |

If you are having cake and Mem is doing ••• tricks, make sure that Dave is there. If it's anyone's birthday, you could put candles on the cake and we'll have the whole thing in one complete package! |

Las - I replaced the hair dyers with a snowblower, not enough electrical current to get the curling irons going, and it can be really painful with weak, intermittent current.
Vinnie, I think a leaf blower will do, but a gas powered or electric lawnmower would be better. Really fires up the ***. Just make sure you have enough space in your livingroom.
Thanks. |

Sorry you don't have any *** tricks, but I'm sure you'll learn a few at Vinny's. Looking forward to it. |

Whoa! I'm intrigued by the whole snowblower, tarp, curling irons and party trick thing. Is this revved up by candle power? I'm confused.
Could this be this the infamous "framistram"(excuse my spelling)?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Calli - My framistam license was revoked a few years ago (long, long story), so I have to make due with household appliances, lawn equipment and my ***.
But - my license will be re-established this summer - I'll keep the board posted...

I don't want Vinny to know. He won't let me attend his candle party if he know what I do with them.

I'm just trying to envision the poor innocent partylite person what with all the tarps, curling irons, blowers of all sorts and mem's ***. This may just be too good to pass up. |

Gee, las, I think that is the night of my framistram licensing test,and you know how EXHAUSTING that will be. Besides, I go into anaphylactic shock at the very mention of (popping antihistimine) Q-tips
But, if you are going to do this again, I'll bring the jello pudding pops! What flavor goes best with curling irons?

Galdurnit! There's a work event that night I have to attend. Can some kind soul get some snapshots of the candle-balancing hair-curling snow-blowing hair-dryer *** tricks to post?
Thank you! |

Vinny M. lives around the corner from me-I can walk...
Asking SOL to pick me up was a gentle nudge to get her to go.
I look forward to meeting you!

Hey, Red - why don't you stop by? Since he's having a house full of people anyway I'm sure it would be no big deal for Vinny to hook up the trapeze for you.
(and if the ceiling is too low we can sit on the floor like we did at XXXXX*'s house that time)
*has the restraining order been lifted yet or are we still prohibited from saying XXXXX's name in a public forum? |
