Surprise Party: at BnA HQ

by Sean on September 27, 2004    |    14 Comments »

OK, now that Chris is en route to Portland, OR, I can pimp the surprise party we are having for him.

What: Welcome Back to America Party for Aussie Chris Heidrich
When: Tuesday September 28th
Where: 3505 NE 13th PDX, OR
Time: Please arrive no later than 7:30 p.m. so he is surpised

I’ll provide beer, wine, Cigars, Scotch and Appetizers from our friends at Acadia Bistro

Fun Stuff: When we walks in, the lights will turn on and folks will yell surprise. The song “Down Under” by Men at Work will start, as a line of American women will greet Chris with a “Welcome to a America” and a kiss. At the end of the line, my pops will offer up a beer and a Cigar to the new arrival.

I have been recruiting ladies to particpate in the welcoming line. If you are interested, please let me know. We could use a few more. (Don’t be afraid, it’s a harmless welcome kiss. Of course, he does smell like Kangaroo)

So please RSVP here and let me know if you can make it.

let’s just hope that he is too busy to grab a connection in the airport, or if he does, that he doesn’t check bootblog. ;)

Yes - I hope he does not check bootblog at the airport - I know his connections are relatively tight.

As for planning - in this instance, yes I guess I am. I have never been called a “compulsive planner” - I am stoked. Albon, your internship is starting off on the right foot.

I unfortunately will not be able to make it. That makes me very sad… but I know I’ll see you guys soon enough.

I hope the party is a blast!

I hope it’s ok if I crash the party and bring my crazy Italian boyfriend too. He has forbidden me from kissing strange Aussies, as he knows the temptation would be too much for me. But I’ll see y’all tonight!

DAMN!!!, Chris bailed before I could make it up to BrisVegas and party with him (or see him down in Adelaide). Nice to see that Chris has his priorities in-line and stuck around OZ long enought to see the grand final.

I’m sure you guys are still in recovery mode after the excessive amounts of alcohol consumed, but I’m looking forward to seeing some pics from the debauchery.

I’m so sorry I got home to late to respond to the invitation. An unrejectable kiss for Chris. Yeah! I’m still working on the Voters’ Pamphlet and having some sad incidents in my personal life. Call you both for dinner soon. Love, Paget
