As Santa-season approaches, the residents of 3113 have begun plotting and scheming a way to gather all of our nearest and dearest amigos/amigas under one roof before we all scatter for the holidays.
Lo and behold, twas from the brilliant minds of three strapping lads that the Drunken Clam's 1st EVAR winter-extravaganza was created! We're going to throw an ugly sweater party of epic proportions, tossing in some friendly gift-swapping for good measure and getting our cook/pour on to ensure our guests leave satiated and satisfied.
Allow me to break it down:
- On Saturday December 17th, plan to arrive anytime after 4:30pm donning your worst ugly sweater. Prizes will be given for most impressive/ugly/creative knit creations.
- Every attendee is requested to bring one gift LESS than $25 in value to put under the tree for the White Elephant (or Yankee Swap to you weirdos). These can be greatly desired or greatly atrocious gifts. But we recommend purchasing something one or two people attending will HAVE to have, it will make the game that much more entertaining (mwuahaha). Leave the really awful gifts to your hosts, we'll be sure to wrap up a few truly terrible goodies.
- Finally, in typical "us" fashion, we're gonna make this a potluck style affair. Select from the following types dish below and claim it as yours on the event wall.
- Appy (cheese & crackers, ants-on-a-log, ect.)
- Booze, seasonal or otherwise (eggnog, vino, bur)
- Bread
- Main Dish (Leek & Gruyere Quiche, Quinoa & Pecan stuffed Acorn Squash, Gluten Free Sweet Potato & Duck Pot Pie ...you know, easy stuff.)
- Sides (Cranberry-Blueberry Couscous Salad, Pumpkin Risotto, Stir Fried Coriander Green Beans and Potatoes or something a little more creative.)
- Desert (...for crying out loud, just go to FoodGawker.com or Foodily.com already.)
A regulation wine-pong table sponsored by our friend Franny, copious amounts of holiday tunes, randomly hung mistletoe and a bevy of dishes and beverages will be happily provided by your hosts, so even if you can't bring anything but your bad-self after purchasing that $700 plane ticket to see Mah and Pops for Christmas, we hope you will attend anyways.
We hope to see ALL of you next month and wish everyone a very happy & healthy holiday season!
{Side Note: please extend an invite to any other Boulderites I may have forgotten/am not friends with on the Facey-Space.}
