t-shirts of another sort

should we have t-shirts for the 60th/reunion this May, as we did at the 50th?

the next challenge

puppet for Pops and Gangang's 60th anniversary party in May!
Puppets can be made out of anything (except for another puppet) and as of now have no size limits.
The challenge, when we all meet, is to put on a show with the puppets we have.

another post for today!

I hope everyone has read my post PLANS! from earlier today.

Here is what I've been working on...post some pictures from your work party? Please?

PLANS!

So I just talked to Tara (and Haven) who are currently hacking tshirts...here is what we decided.

Since Lona may have to work, we will meet in the evening, about six o'clock at Tara's.
Jim will make spaghetti at some point, so we don't really need snacks unless we want them as appetizers.
There will be champange for the over 21s and sparkling cider for the under 21s.
Tara's friend will provide runway music for us.
If we want, as per Piri's suggestion, we can make banners out of the fabric scraps.
Everyone bring a cheap little prize (each person that is participating should bring one) and if you are so inclined, label it with a superlative, e.g. "most wearable"..."most haute couture"..."best use of tshirts". The grand prize will come from Gangang.
Please post a description of the outfit you are entering so I can make cards for the judges.
If anyone has any strong objections to Lona's rubric, speak now or forever hold your peace!

Oh, I was talking about this with Haven: Where exactly will the runway be? Maybe Tara has thought of this already, but there seem to be endless possibilities: the upstairs hallway, the downstairs hallway, the actual stairs...

If there is anything I've forgotten, let me know by commenting!

the final countdown

less than 3 weeks left!
Should we figure out the final details??
For example:
*Where and when will it be?
*What are the rules for showing?
*What else needs to be brought? (makeup, hair, snacks, cameras, etc)
*Are we going to make certificates/prizes?

allow me to be off topic for a second...

I figured that since this blog actually gets read, I'd be more likely to get a response here than on the Carlson 60th blog.
So I emailed the Cacapon resort and they said they have had large family groups come before but they didn't say anything else helpful...but they gave me a number for someone who might be helpful if we want suggestions or whatever. So what are everyone's feelings about Pops and Gangang's 60th, as of late? I talked to Pops and Gangang briefly about it and they said this place looks good, it would probably be short (like 3 days I think), and that the beginning of August would probably work best. Here is the link again if people want to refresh their memories about it. Please just post general thoughts/ideas I know I've asked this before but I think we should probably start doing actual planning, not just theoretical stuff.
