We're having a cookout/pool party Saturday, and are rushing to get everything ready. It should be fun, but we've never done this before so it's pretty crazy...
At first, we thought there would only be about 15 people, but now it's up to 41. We went to CostCo last night and got a ton of food, but we still are worried it won't be quite enough. I think it's ok though, cause if it's obviously not enough we'll just run out and get some more at the grocery.
We used evite.com for to organize it and, let me say, it really rocks. It makes it so easy for people to rsvp that they actually do. And you can see the current status of everyone at any time. Pretty nice. :)
It will be really interesting because the people who are coming don't know each other for the most part, although they're all interesting and fun people. Some friends from High School, some from the Japanese Embassy, some from the Chinese discussion group, some from the blogging community, etc. ;)
Greetings from sunny California!
Even though Ryoko and I can't make it to the party, I figured it was high time we stopped by the blog and said hello.
Err...
Hello!
I have to admit, I'm impressed by your diligence in maintaining this blog. Even though we haven't seen each other in a few years, reading it makes me feel like we just got together yesterday.
You know, there might just be something to this Internet thing after all...

What do you still need that I can bring? =)

Thanks all. It worked out great. :)
John -- thanks for stopping by. :) I hope we'll be able to get together again sometime in person as well, but for now, at least we have the differences between +5v and 0v. ;) Hope you're doing well out there and avoiding being assimilated by the Cali-borg.

I hope my house survived the party. See you on Sunday. The weather in Jackson Hole has been awesome!

Wow. There's a first. My Dad actually posted on my blog... Pretty cool. :)
Don't worry Dad... Your house is fine. We only invited interesting and cool people, so there was nothing to worry about. Everything went smoothly... :)
