Do you feel an emptiness in your life? A void deep within your soul that you desperately try to fill with sex, drugs and money?
Well, I can't help you.
But I can take your mind off the spiritual angst, at least for an evening, by inviting you to a house party. Let's celebrate like it's 1999 - and pretend we still have a president that can speak in coherent sentences.
The theme I've chosen* is: "Heath Shuler-rama" As in Heath Shuler, candidate for congress in NC District 11.
FAQ:
Wait a second, I know you Paul... you are not a big fan of Heath Shuler. Why are you throwing a house party for him?
Because someone from his campaign asked politely and I feel like having a party. Just because I probably won't vote for the guy does not mean I'm not a dedicated Democrat.
Will Heath Shuler be there?
I've invited him, but I doubt it.
I see this will be a BBQ; but I'm a vegetarian (Vegan / freegan / I only eat dirt and insects) will you have anything that meets my dietary restrictions?
I'll buy a pack of veggie-burgers, but other than that you are on your own.
What is the purpose of this event?
My event will not be the only House Party for Shuler. (Although it will be the most fun.) The Shuler staff have asked people across NC district 11 to host simultaneous house parties. The goal is to promote Shuler for Congress, perhaps raise a bit of money and encourage people to volunteer for the campaign.
How many people will be at this event?
I'm planning to keep it small: Under a dozen or so. But if it blows all out of proportion I won't get upset.
Will there be any celebrities, prizes and/or activities at this party?
Yes!
I'm scared of mimes and clowns.
There will be no mimes, clowns or Republicans at this event.
* To be clear: while I was asked to host this party on a particular date and time by a Shuler organizer, this event is my own creature.
