Caritas - Thursday evening [Open]

[iguessiamaclone.livejournal.com]

When Ben showed up at the bar, Tino gave him a sign to put up. It said 'Party -->'

"Really?" Ben asked as he put the sign up by the back room. "Just 'party' and an arrow?" Tino shrugged. "It just seems kind of lackluster, you know?" Tino shrugged again. "At least break out a balloon or something. What kind of party is it?" Tino shrugged and possibly mumbled something about a TV. "I changed my mind. The sign doesn't need a balloon. You do. I'm getting you one next week, Mister Grumpy."

[OOC: Post is up early by request. I won't be around at all until evening, so if you want to talk to Ben, be prepared to wait a bit. Otherwise, mod Tino or just go straight to the party in the back room once the party OCD is up.

I am around now!]

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.

Believe it or not you should wait for the party starters to put up the OCD

What? It still rhymes.

Cabin Shows Party - General Mingling!

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

The back room wasn't heavily decorated or anything like that. What it did have was the essentials - a huge TV and plenty of liquor. There was also a small sign explaining the rules of the drinking game.

1. Drink for bad acting
2. Drink for horrible dialogue
3. Drink for painful special effects
4. Drink for ridiculous plot holes
5. Drink for anything else that sucks

No need for an elaborate set of rules - that should cover it.

Arrive, mingle, schmooze, and start your drinking early. Elena and Ino certainly will.

(OOC: As mentioned before, the shows are gonna run for 15 minutes each. Why? Because a marathon of full episodes would take about 12 hours, and then everyone would be dead from alcohol poisoning.)

(ETA: by request, there's now a meta list here (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/4134178.html?thread=171160610#t171160610) for great Wiki justice.)

Re: Cabin Shows Party - General Mingling!

[intraspective]

Of course Ino was one of the first there--she had to lug in all of the videos after all and that was far easier to first thing.

She looked kinda wan, kinda frail, but she was smiling, if a bit tiredly.

And very glad there was mucho booze to be drunk.

Judges' Panel!

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

Judges (you know who you are!) will stand up and announce their individual picks for Best Show and Worst Show. Only judges get to vote, but everyone else can weigh in with their reactions to the voting.

(Please remember that you cannot vote for your own cabin for Best Show, to eliminate bias, but you're totally welcome to vote for it for Worst Show, if you think it's the worst of the bunch.)

After Viewing Mingling!

[intraspective]

If anyone is still awake and if they are, are likely smashed out of their minds.

Needless to say, more drinking is encouraged as this is a party.

After all, it's not like your hostesses are going to stop you.

OOC [7/9]

[iguessiamaclone.livejournal.com]

Completely unrelated, but Amazing Spider-Man Annual #36 features the start of NEW CANON FOR BEN. New canon about the past. He's still dead as dead can be. But still. New canon. I AM EXCITED!
