Christmas with the bloggers?

So earlier in the month Shannon floated the idea of a Bend Blogger Christmas party. Not too many people responded, but since then we at least decided on a date if we're going to do it: Saturday, December 10th.

Would there be any interest to this among our local bloggers? I'd emailed a few to test the water, and got some encouraging response (Jake, Wendy...), but I figured it's time to make the general call.

C'mon, Bend Bloggers, let's get some response! Who wants to join us for a Christmas party—gift exchange and all? The sooner we know, the better!

And hey, even if you think it's a lame idea, at least give me some pushback on it! :)

I'd bowl. I took it as my PE credit at WSU, and I still suck.

Bowling?

I'll stay home with the kids :P


Mrs H writes:

wimp


Jon writes:

I suck at bowling too, but I'm totally for that. Sun Mountain Fun Center or Lava Lanes?

pril- just let us know anytime you're in town!


Mrs H writes:

If this is a GO then where are we having it ... did we ever decide? I can't remember.


Jon writes:

Nope, we didn't, which is why I'm putting the call out now, so we can find out how many want to do it and nail down a location.

BrENDA commented on my blog she's interested. What about RHYS? SIMONE?


wendy writes:

If we do bowl, my vote would be Lava Lanes, but that's just because I can there in 15 minutes, and it takes twice that to get to the other one.


mrs h writes:

I'd offer to have it at my house but I think I"m working until 7 p.m. that day.


Your wife writes:

We could always have it here (if Jon wants)...and Mrs. H. I thought you didn't have to work Saturday night, which is why we're having it on a Sat night. :P


Jake writes:

Sun Mountain -- that way I can plot my revenge on Simone at pool ;-)


Your wife writes:

UGH! Bowling???? Pool???? What would we do with the kids???? I'm out if that's what happens (Jon's mom said she would like to come, so there's our babysitter)


Your wife writes:

Diane isn't into bowling, but would be the babysitter for us....

Guess we need to see where plans lay....


wendy writes:

Pool? Jeez, another thing at which I totally suck. I just can't hit balls with a little stick.


Jon writes:

Gee, Wendy, after reading your blog for awhile I figured you'd be good at wacking balls with sticks ;-)


wendy writes:

I need a bigger stick.


Mrs H writes:

I might have to work until 7 p.m. I find out tomorrow ...

It's a wonderful idea! But that's the EXACT evening my in-laws are flying in from Tampa for a visit.

Ralph and I can't wait to meet you all, so we'll be at the next one. have a great time! :)
