😐🍖The 🥔 No 🍽️ Fucks 🍲 Given 🥩 Day 🥐 of 🥘 Mehlabration 🥓🦖 (Info & Menu)

"The Holidays" are finally over. The clean-up still isn't. Neither are the effects on the finances. It's a brand, new year, but it is still cold, grey, damp, and dreary here in the Pacific Northwest. 

As was written in the Great Screed, "And no fucks were given that day" (First book Book of Meh-kail 6:66), and so, we shall celebrate; Nay, mehlabrate the occasion, with a grand(ish) day of feasting, games, and mehrriment!

 

When:

Monday, January 1st, 2024
 1300 ~ 1830

(1pm ~ 6:30pm)

Where: 

The Wolf Den

(If you don't know what that means, RSVP for more info. If you don't know how to get hold of me, you aren't invited, cause all my chosen fam has my contact info! Sorry Charlie!) 

 

What:

• After all the holiday madness, the good, the bad, and the "we don't talk about that anymore", and maybe a late night ringing in the new year it's time to kick back and chill with friends and family of choice (and maybe even origin). 

• We'll listen to music, watch movies/videos, converse, maybe play some games (CAH, Kittens in a Blender, MtG, Fluxx, Gloom, D&D, Betrayal, and many, MANY more!) and feast on some very traditional and delicious NYD foods.

• If you can/would like to bring a dish or snack to share, that is AWESOME! Let me know, and I'll add it to the menu! 

• Ingredients available on request - actual recipes if you ask really nicely. 

• Wear whatever makes you happy and comfortable. Dress up if you like, don't if you don't like; It's all good!

• There's no pressure to stay for a specific amount of time or do all the things. If you just want to pop in for a few, eat and run, veg out in the corner watching without interacting, or whatever, that is fine. We love you as you are!

• This is an alcohol, illegal drug, and bigotry free gathering, so don't bring any of those here.

• Edibles are fine as long as they are VERY clearly marked as such, so no one has a more magical than they wanted experience.  

• Smoking (pot, cigars, anything legal) is allowed out back. There's a nice, fully closable gazebo on the back patio with plenty of seating, lighting, blankets, and even an outdoor space heater!  

• It's not a "safe space" or a PC gathering,  and there won't be content or trigger warnings. There might be terrible jokes, all kinds of "isms" discussed and/or mocked, and plenty of other horribleness. If you are too fragile to handle the mere mention of ... well, anything, you'd be more comfortable elsewhere. That doesn't mean being a douche to others is tolerated, but the "-ist police" aren't invited.
