Yeah, it's been a perennial must-do for the Sudberian furs (and some guests from beyond the crater) for the past several years, so... we must do it again! We dare not break with tradition, after all!
Yes, fellow fur fans, it's...
The SudFurry Chriskwanzyulekkah Parteh! (Yeah, the name changes a bit each year... I know!)
It's the time of year for friends, family, and all that heart-warming stuff that drives you to drink until you're vomiting up mildly digested sweetbread cookies into your Aunt Martha's cleavage! (For the record, I don't have an Aunt Martha.)
But seriously! What better excuse to have a party and to hang out with fellow furs, share some laughs, eat some good food...? Why do it? Because we're not the family you'll be getting sick of in the coming weeks! Furry friends are awesome like that... especially at this time of year!
Anyways... If you come along and join in the festivities...
bring food! Your favorite snacks, something to clog the arteries, something to drink... whatever floats your pontoon plane. It's the season of sharing!
Hmm... Will a pontoon plane float on alcohol? Well, maybe we'll find out! Booze is permitted... just be sure to do it responsibly! Bring your own beverage, but we'll have some shooters on paw, too.
Please make your own arrangements for transportation to and from the party, as we will not be able to provide such. Crash space will be available, but it's limited, so
please request in advance if you would require some floor space or a couch to flop out upon.
Also in the spirit of sharing, we'll be doing a Kris Kringle gift exchange once again. Try to keep the value of the gifts to the approximately $10 to $15-ish range type thing. Something furry, perhaps? Miniature plushies tend to be a common gift to give each year, but if you can think of something else that's cool, then by all means go for it! (Just please avoid sweets, since we've got a diabetic or two in our midst.)
We have gaming systems to help amuse us. Movies, music... Our indelible wit and toasty warm charm! There's always
something to do! Bring along some mp3s if you wish. We'll be playing tunes throughout the evening, of course.
On to the details!
What? The SudFurry Chriskwanzyulekkah Parteh! It's in huge letters above, silly!
When? Saturday, December 13, 2008... beginning arrival approximately 5 pm!
Where? The Coniston Furry House. That's on the outskirts of Sudbury. Ask me, Sedyah, or Mune Metsukai for directions if you need 'em!
Who? Anyfur who dares show their face!
Why? By now, it's tradition! And you know we're slaves to tradition!
How? Well, the mommy bird and the daddy bird do this little dance... and nine months later, they're at the top of the American pop music charts!
Oh, and if you plan on joining us for the furry party of the season, please R.S.V.P! 'Tis muchly appreciated!
Remember: B.Y.O.B., R.S.V.P... and let us know if you need crash space. Sorry, I know of no acronyms for the latter.
See yas there!
Benjamin
