<< Cord Ed Board - Tha Singlez | Main | Post Blog Party 1/2 >>

As you get closer to a day of departure, things speed up. By your very last week, everyone moves around you in a crazy blur of friends and enemies, faces you've never seen before and faces you'll never see again. There isn't enough time.

REGARDLESS, tomorrow night be the Blog Party! I have noticed somewhat of a psychological backlash against the Blog Party, perhaps because Amy has been spamming your blogs or we've been talking a whole lot about 'giving my crap away'. The Blog Party, perhaps, has Lost Its Roots.

Well, this is silly, because I don't want to build hype for an Event of the Year or get everyone to come for an obligatory well-wishing as I run off to Korea. Fuck that. The beautiful thing about blogging is that I'll still be right here, on your computer screens, and you'll be on mine. We won't know each other any less, we'll just have different stories to tell and live in inverted time zones where I post from your tomorrow. Geography is superficial.

What I wanted to accomplish with the Blog Party was to meet some new faces and be drunk and strange with the faces I already enjoy. I don't want something rigidly structured... we can do whatever the hell we please. Amy has been excellent enough to provide some party stuff and we - along with Hoodie - came up with some demented games to play, but if you feel like sitting and talking about public image issues with blogging, that would be amazing too. I am Pumped to see how people will experience the event and how everyone's perspectives might build a single story. I don't know WHAT is going to happen. Bring yourself, bring anything you think might make for a more amusing experience - booze, drugs, cookies, whatever. I'll do my best to provide as well.

As far as giving away things goes, I don't care if none of you want to take my stuff because we have a nice big can of gasoline floating around in the garage and I can set everything on fire down in Waterloo Park. I just thought it might be nice for some of my favorite and/or useful things to find new homes instead of perishing horribly in the blaze. If you want to play party games and say Fuck The Prizes, well, I'll be doing that too. I don't want to win my own stuff back, that would be hella-retarded.

PS: the games are very very weird for the most part. Prepare to write poetry about a refrigerator.

Here is a detailed map to my house, for thee who don't know me: I figure since I'm leaving, putting this on the internet isn't really a privacy issue anymore (not that I really cared before either, let's be honest here).

And here are all the things that I would like to 'reallocate' or 'redistribute' around Waterloo, if Y'all are willing - click each picture to see more info:

See ya tomorrow night, internet geeks!

love
Chris
