It's nearly upon us... get your costume on for the third annual
Shannon's All Hallow's Eve Eve Eve Eve: The Party!!!
Saturday October 28th, 7pm onward, 810 Sunrise Ct., Ann Arbor, MI 48103 (Google Maps it).

Shannon, Sabrina, and Shaw cordially invite you to another installment of All Halow's Eve Eve Eve Eve: The Party. Come celebrate fall colors, fall harvest, and of course Halloween. This year's party doubles as a housewarming party for new housemates Sabrina and Shaw as well. There will be refreshment including local brewpub beer, homebrews, apple cider, various apple related snacks (bobbing optional), pumpkin pie, fresh Brines Farm salsa, and more. Halloween costumes are mandatory and we will be voting on best costume - voting will conclude about 10pm and winners will once again receive Real Prizes of Real Value. Also this year we'll dust off from the first year the All Hallow's Eve Eve Eve Eve Party Battle of the Performance IDOL competition. So come ready to get your groove on - on our highly esteemed particle board dance floor - and bring your guitar, harmonica, bagpipes, singing voice, tap shoes, drama routine, poetry, or whatever. Come live the hype. Seriously, you'll regret it if you miss it, so hit this party and you'll still have time to catch that other lame party later on, go back to your party, or go waste money at a club, etc., etc..

Party FAQs (Under Construction, email Qs to shannon[at]brines[dot]net)

Q: Do I have to wear a costume?
A: Yes.

Q: Is it okay if my costume sucks then?
A: Yes. But you will have less of a chance of winning a real prize of real value.

Q: Do you have a costume theme for those of us who need some help coming up witha costume?
A: Yes. Heroes/Heroines.

Q: Do I have to partake in the All Hallow's Eve Eve Party Battle of the Performance IDOL competition?
A: No. But it would be fun and you would have another chance to win a real prize of real value.

Q: What are these real prizes of real value?
A: It's a secret. Some days I'm not even sure, but I will be the party day.

Q: Do I have to bring any food or drink?
A: No, unless I've begged you for something specific. You may of course bring some food or drink to share - there is a fall harvest theme going if you can match that.

Q: Who are you?
A: Thanks for asking. I'm the guy who's having the Halloween party you are going to Saturday October 28th. It's okay if you don't really know me, you can still come. You probably know someone who knows me. Some of you know me as the guy who manages the ESA Lab at SNRE, some of you know me as the guy who sells Brines Farm greens at the farmers market, and some of you just know me other ways. I guarantee a nice diverse crowd.

Q: Who are Sabrina and Shaw?
A: Ah, you know them too probably. One is a SNRE alum whose bellydancing was by far good enough for a Real Prize of Real value two years ago and the other is a SNRE doctoral students who snaps a lot of photos. See if you can guess who they are at the party, and welcome them to their new home!

Q: Can I get a ride home if I need to?
A: Yes. Unless you live too far away, then, you can sleep on the carpeted floor and I'll figure out what to do with you in the morning.

Q: I live in another state, do you really expect me to come?
A: Yes. Of course, I also expect checks and balances between our three branches of government so what do I know.

Q: Seriously, what are these real prizes of real value?
A: Seriously, I'm not going to tell you. Do you know nothing about building suspense? You may try guessing. All I'll say is that their "retail value" may or may not exceed $100, certainly $50, hard to tell this year.

Q: Do I have to RSVP?
A: If you want to. In theory it might be useful. I already know you're coming though, how could you miss real prizes of real value.

Q: Should the American League Champion Detroit Tigers be participating in a World Series game against some pathetic soon to be defeated National League team, will the glorius Tigers victory be on at your party?
A: Well, since this is a bit after the fact I will qualify my answer and say I swear I did think the Tigers would win in 6 games. Of course, it looks like we may need 7 games to get it done, or more pine tar or something. There's probably a local bartender who is happy about the Cardinals however.

Q: Are you really adding questions to the FAQ or is this like previous FAQ's where claims of additional questions are added, and some are, but never mine?
A: I'm sensing a lot of pent up angst. Perhaps you should consult the fabulous resource AngryAndy.arg. While some of the As might be lacking, all Qs received are published. Pretty much.


After Party FAQs

Q: I couldn't make your party, how was it?
A: Well, despite your absence, it was huge man, huge man. You are going to have to get your sorry butt there next year.

Q: Do you have any photos from the party?
A: Do I ever! If you know anyone with photos, get them to me please.

Q: My question is not listed here, can I ask it?
A: Yes. Fire away, shannon[at]brines[dot]net. The FAQ section is always under construction.
