Hey, with the sudden appearance of Bear it’s looking very likely that this website is going to catch more people from Tech out there, some (many?) of whom we/Liz may not want at the "private" party, and I’m thinking that these people will feel let down if a Parkies Party isn’t produced, somehow.

I’m wiling to attend a second party that is open to everyone. So I’m wondering, would some of you also go to another one that was open to more people? There are already four people on this website who are not members of this "Private Party @ Liz" group. I’m sure there will be many more by summer. I’m beginning to feel a little guilty about it in fact... creating a net to catch as many parkie "flies" yet only allow a few of them to the party. Seems a little dishonest, like bait and switch.

Thoughts? Maybe a couple of us who would attend both should instigate the conversation about times and places on the public Catching Up corkboard and get the other party started. Nothing wrong with two parties. Maybe at a restaurant the Friday night before Liz’s and use the park for a noon party-bridging picnic Saturday afternoon. Then we all wander off our separate ways, meeting up a little later.

I really want another photo of us in the park. A 2007 edition of the Drinking Team, and maybe a 2007 edition of Liz and Sarah on the bulkhead.
