As parties go, it's been a very laid back one. We all brought some food along with us—the Bălans brought \emph{musaca}, May Then My Name made a cake, Sasha brought a few roast hares, and so on—and set up some tables out back of Douglas's house to eat.
Not to be outdone, A Finger Pointing and Vos, one of the other techs from the theatre, set up a small bar where they started making outlandish cocktails based on what they thought each of us wanted, rather than anything we asked for. They've had about 70\% hits, 30\% misses, so far, which is pretty good, all told.\footnote{Another reason for the rambly, overly-sentimental letter: none of us are exactly sober.} May currently has a drink that seems to be something between melted chocolate ice cream and brandy. It's quite good, but so rich that we can all only handle small sips of it at a time. Ioan got stuck with vodka and soda water. One of those ``why bother?'' drinks. Are the Bălans really so boring as to suggest vodka sodas?

Are the Bălans really so boring as to suggest vodka sodas? Vos, one of the techs at the theatre, assured us that, yes. Yes we are.
A Finger Pointing's up-tree instance, Where It Watches The Slow Hours Progress, played a baffling\ldots I guess party trick on us earlier that I think some are still recovering from. She suggested we play ``two truths and a lie with a twist'' and, after May explained what ``two truths and a lie'' was, we all agreed.
