Thanks to all of you for letting me know one way or another that
you're likely to come along for a bit tomorrow. The theme I
wanted to do was "the alphabet", but since I haven't had 26
"yes" replies yet and I'm late in warning people about it, this
won't work quite as I originally intended.
However, I still think it would be fun if people could bring
along something that represents a different letter of the
alphabet in some way. [1] So, I've randomized all your names
and assigned them letters of the alphabet in classic [2] order
of frequency...
[...]
.... that leaves VBGKQJXZ, so if you know other people who are
coming but who haven't let me know that, they should get in
touch soon so I can give them one of the awkward letters as soon
as possible. ;) Also, if you want to think about how you'd draw
the letter for a stencil pattern, you can use that in the
collaborative party T-shirt design.
apologies if I've got you down as coming when you can't, I've
not quite been keeping track properly.
hope to see you all tomorrow....
[1] I was thinking of this in the classic style of "A is for
Apple", "S is for SPAM", etc. but interpret it however you
like.

I'm going to have a small party at my flat on Friday night from
8pm, and it would be great if you could all come along. Please
bring along something to drink, your Significant Others and
people I obviously meant to invite but forgot or couldn't find
the email addresses of when compiling the big address list for
this email. My flat is small, though, so please check with me
if you want to bring along random people.
I hope we can do a piece bit of collaborative party art [1] as
well, but you'll only find out about that in advance if you reply
to say you're coming :)
