Pumpkin Carving

[gsh]

We're doing our I think it is seventh annual pumpkin carving on Saturday Oct 15th, from 4pm to whenever. I'll have more mulled cider than you know what to do with, and we have a supply of design stencils that you can use if you want to. Feel free to come on over and indulge your creativity, or just hang out and watch other people. BYOP. :)

Sounds like fun! I may be at an SCA event for at least part of the day, maybe I can escape at some point. You're in Fairfax?

Does this "mulled cider" of which you speak contain alcohol? Is it of suitible properties that if alcohol is not contained naturally therein one would be able to add it and enjoy the resulting taste?

I keep getting invited to this and one year, God as my witness, I'll make it.

Mulled cider contains no alcohol.

One can always add rum :)

Well, I have no objection to people adding their own personal flavoring, I'm just saying what I'm providing. :)

We'd love to have you join in.

Yea, FFX County, but near center city Fairfax. I don't recall your username, do we know each other RL? Or do we just have a social circle in common?

I think we have vvalkyri in common and possibly papertigers .. I dabble very occasionally in bdsm and dance amongst my other dabblings and live in Silver Spring. Used to work in Fairfax (while living in Silver Spring!) My s.o. agentxs is a big Buffy fan and we are both programmers.

You've been to at least one party in common. Though I only recalled it much later, I first met you and gsh and in fact madbodger at the same party one wintry night in probably 1998 or 1999, held by a fellow named Don.

Feel free to include me on any weirded out email trails.

I'm friends with both vvalkyri and [Unknown site tag], and while I don't remember you off the top of my head, I'm sure we can have a good chat over pumpkins. :)

[gsh]

That party is long enough gone that I barely remember meeting you,and I'm sure that if we hadn't talked about it I would have forgotten having met you there by now.

Hey, how late's whenever? I"d tentatively RSVP'd to another gathering somewhere in VA that starts around 4... I can bring extra mulling spices if I'm there late...

One of the guests is a mom with a 6th month old, so she goes to bed about 10ish.

Sorry to have missed it after all - work ate me up. Hopefully next year. My one previous experiment in pumpkin carving was a lot of fun - I carved Munch's "The Scream".

[gsh]

Not a problem. I'll have to have vvalkyri give us a proper introduction one of these days.
