Alliterations and Austen

but not Texas, that would be Austin -- not Austen.

I just thought I would (as a friendly sort of guy) extend to you all an invitation.
Please join me and lots of other nerdy people on August 28th at 5pm for the fourth annual Pride and Prejudice Party, 3P04.
Here is A Map to the host house at 340 North Washington Boulevard. If you choose to attend, please bring some Pesos for Pizza and a Pleasant Prandialization (treat or dish) to Pass around. Preferably something with a P in it, but I'm not Particular.
You know, Pasta, Popcorn, Pretzels, Pop, Popsicles, Pepto Bismol, that kind of thing.

An explanation is required:
The Pride and Prejudice Party is a yearly tradition which consists of one very large activity: we watch, in one sitting, the entire 6-hour A&E movie of Jane Austen's novel, "Pride and Prejudice." There is also food, everything from Pizza to one year's Italian Ices. No one ever asked why -- but if they had, the answer would have been, "because Jane Austen is the coolest EVER," or something like that.

History:
The PPP began with my friends in High School, 'the Gnomes', the oldest of which had the largest Living Room and TV, so we had it at his place. The first year, attendees were almost all these "gnome" friends of mine; but over the years, we gathered from our friends a copmaratively large audience. This year, we have people coming from several different sectors of the population, so there ought to be something for everyone. Especially if you Band Geeks can make a tidy appearance.

If you can come, hey -- let me know. You can come late, leave early, whatever.
Come enjoy the good company of odd folks, young and old, and laugh at the foolish mortals.
Once again, everybody is welcome (there is a standard of conduct, but only becuase I'm the host) on Saturday the 28th at 5 pm at 340 N. Washington Boulevard, in Ogden, almost across from the Harrisville Wal-Mart. Even more specific directions will be inculded in a later post.
