Announcing the 2nd Annual Secret Acaeum Inner Circle Christmas Party, by Invitation only! If you haven't received yours yet, you're shit out of luck.

As usual, BYOB, attire optional.

Steven has volunteered to act as music coordinator this year, so be prepared for lots of washboarding, jug-blowing, and jaw-harping.

(Badmike got pissed and trashed the place last year after his entire collection of 13th floor Elevators albums disappeared.)

Knights of High Colonics meeting hall, Akron, Ohio, Dec. 20. See you there!

Let mirth prevail!

In order to avoid any of the confusion we had last year, attire optional means the style of attire is optional. Wearing something, even if simply a loincloth, is mandatory.

If I wasn't drunk on the moonshine Smarmy brought, I would have accused him to his face of "borrowing" them....hey, they were signed by Roky Erickson!!!!

I see clothing optional isn't a choice this year????? :cry:

Don't forget. With a new Grand High Marshall of Collecting this year - the celebrations will be even more grand than last Christmas.

For example, lunch will be served in woodgrain boxes (from the Acaeum Secret Inner Circle's own storage vaults), and I believe that the dining hall will be based upon a full-size reconstruction of the Hall of the Fire Giant King.

As usual, anyone requiring places on the Acaeum private jet this year, please let me know.

Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!

Same as last year for the jet.

Can it actually be fully stocked with what we ordered last year though. We ran out of it last year over Fiji, and the others just went wild.. :roll:

Mike, sorry about the ferret last year. Did it ever recover? :oops:

That wasn't a ferret, it was beaver; and she recovered just fine. Only a couple of stitches after the party explored the sphinx. But I guess you were all too plastered to remember that, huh?

I never did get that joke about the three Irishmen and the panda.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Three irishmen and a panda walk into a bar. The bartender says "What'll it be?" The first irishman says "Whiskey, straight". The 2nd irishman says "I'll have what he's having, plus a beer chaser". The third irishman says "I'll have what he's having, plus a 5th of scotch to wash it down. The panda then says.....

Oh, hell, I've forgotten the punchline......

First print woodgrains, I presume, or will these be the from the case of pre-pubs you bragged about last year under the mistletoe?

Not ferret, beaver. Torn Sphincter. Stitches. Three Irishmen and a Panda.
Any clearer now?
