Try, try again...

I've decided to give the peeps at work another chance to behave like civilized adults at my place. We are having movie night on Saturday (late night) after work.

The films will probably include Dr Giggles, and Dawn of the Dead. Hopefully, if I plan the evening around films, rather than drinking, people will not think they are required to drink until they pass out. Plus I have refined my guest list a bit. :)

I am also working hard on the Halloween decor for the M*stone party. Does anyone have any good and cheap decor ideas to share? My budget is small and it has to be family values inspired. I don't know much about that. I will have pumpkins and a few banners from Kinko's. Plus I need to get some of that stuff that makes fake spider webs.

Warning: Keep items cold

U of M should have a few cadavers available. I think that would be a good decoration. Especially one that has been used a few times.

Don't say it's not family oriented, because it would be educational too. You could identify parts of the body, while you ingest the innards. Ooh, I like this.

It *is* pretty cold in the theatre. Hmmm...

If my sinuses are still all stuffy by then, I'll certainly think about it.

Whoof. Be careful. You already know what they're capable of. Perhaps you should keep the hard liquor out of the house and stick with a few 12-packs of beer. If you plan to have alcohol, that is. Have a lot of heavy food on hand, too, and encourage them to eat. That way they won't get sloppy and gropey drunk. :)

Points well taken. In fact, I have explained to all minors that if they are seen drinking, they will be asked to leave. And there will be food (all I ever serve is wine, many folks BYO); since my last gathering was a hot topic of discussion at work all week, I think the proper people are sufficiently embarrassed and will shape up.

The worst offenders though, were not invited back.

You need to wear a shirt that says "This is my Halloween costume." I LOVE THOSE, oh god.

I can't secide if I want to be a modern witch, or Miss Cleo.

I'm reading tarot at the work party for two nights.
