Party Invite

Ryan threw a party on saturday, here is the invite, it made me chuckle, the party definitely lived up to the invite, my head still hurts two days later....

dearest of friends,
sorry to bother you on this most productive of workdays, however, i'd like to cordially invite all of you to a gathering taking place at my humble abode this saturday (sept. 15th, ~9pm). reasons for celebration are quite plentiful; some of which are the following: the coming of a much anticipated cool front this week (!), bob's submission of his dissertation and subsequent validation of his status as "postdoc," chilkoti lab birthdays (greg [even though he probably can't attend], sept. 16; sarah, sept. 22; and of course mine, may 8th), it will be saturday so why not, a gravel yard and a garage necessitates a proper gathering, UNC's imminent "learning experience" with UVa (does duke have a football team?), jonah's leaving for san diego, andy's recent "best day of experiments ever," and my being tired of driving places. i will provide a keg of bad beer, a garage, and a gravel yard; all of which will ultimately contribute to a venue for witty banter and philosophical, intellectual, and nonsensical debate on topics ranging from poetry and flowers to music and science (and whatever else you can come up with). though i feel a keg should be sufficient for properly teasing said banter and debate out of you, i anticipate that some attendees may need beverages in excess of what i'm able to provide. should you find yourself fitting this category you should (a) face your potential problem with hedonism and (b) visit the gas station around the corner from my house. as suggested by the flyer (follow the hypertext markup to the flyer), this will be an extremely classy event, almost completely devoid of "debauchery," "shenanigans," "tom foolery," or any other actions that could be considered philosophically lewd or otherwise inappropriate (this statement may in fact turn out to be sarcasm). please feel free to forward this invite to friends since my limited omniscient state prevents me from knowing every email address. all persons who are not intending to engage in theft or unnecessary attraction of authorities are welcome.
