Housewarming postmortem

[msmemory_archive]

It was great! We had about 70 people through at various points in the day, and they all seemed to have fun (even Greg, whose allergies bloomed in response to the pillowfight the kids had).

Notes for next time:
Second trash receptacle near the buffet
Bin or bag for recyclables (my conscience is twinging that we just tossed the plastic goods)
LOTS MORE beverages
More milk/cream for coffee
Um, buy beer? (d'oh!) and open more of the gift wines
Keep better track of gifts (anybody want to own up to bringing either of the Merlots, the Cooks' bubbly, or the Domesday mead?)

I'd thought to get to your party at least for a little while, but life interceded and threw us a curve ball. *shrug*

I wish we could have been there.

Remember, if it came in contact wth food, it is no longer recyclable, really.

Also, you should watch the Penn & Teller's Bullshit episode on 'recycling'. Its an eye opener.

I brought a bottle of Merlot. It seemed wrong not to bring Something.
