Conference turris::womannotes-v1

    Where's Wayland ? Is that east or west of Boston :-) ? Would
    like to attend one of these parties, will make time this time.
    
    Dana

    Yes!  I too will make time this time!
    
    Mary

    ann, thanks for offering your house. i'm tempted by new year's day,
    and am also free lots of other times during jan. and feb. 
    if you'd like some helpful hints, feel free to drop a line.
    
    liz

    I'd like to try for the next one, too, since I missed the
    previous one. It depends on when, though, as I'll be out of
    town till after the 10th.
    
    Is it still the same house on Pequod, Ann?
    
    --- jerry

    Pequot, Jerry, Pequot.  Those colonials never could spell,
    (including my ancestors).
    
    Wayland is southeast of Maynard, with only Sudbury between the
    two towns.
    
    Shall we lean towards the middle of January, say the 15th?
    
    						Ann B.

    ooh.  yes.  goody.  I'll be there.  Oh bliss.  Oh rapture.
    finally, I get to see what all the hubbub was.
    
    (from somewhere waaaay off in left field)
    
    -Jody
    

    Jody,
    
    My sentiments exactly!!  
    
    Ann,
    
    _Please_ don't schedule for either of the last two weekends of January
    (22nd, 23rd, 29th, 30th).  I just HAVE to make this party this time!!
   (I'm free the rest of January and in February, though.)

Gee, the 15th is a gooood day (my birthday :-)) but alas, I'm getting
kidnapped that weekend and taken to points unknown, and I would
REALLY like to make this one.

Jenna

    Hint around to your prospective kidnapper that the party would be
    a good place to duck the G-men (oops G-persons) for a while 'til
    the heats off. Good luck, and *Happy Birthday* in advance.

    Except for Joana, would Saturday night the 16th be better than
    Friday the 15th?
    							Ann B.

>    							Ann B.

	Well, no, the 16th is my birthday, and I expect to be busy.  :-)

	Ann, pick a date that's convenient for you.  You'll never come
	up with a date where everyone can attend, and it's really
	too much effort for you to try.

	...Karen

    re:.5
    
    Just call me Ishmael...
    
    re:.11
    
    Saturdays are definitely better for me, since I have to work on
    Friday nights.
    
    --- jerry

    I'll be in Cambridge Jan 13-14-15 for the MIT "X" conference. I'd
    love to come. Any of those nights, or even a few days to eiter side
    would be good for me.
    
    	-- Charles

    
    
    What another party so soon.  Yeah....
    
    15 January if it does not snow (ha ha ha ha ha) is fine.
    
    _peggy
    

    Well, I'd like Jerry to come, since I haven't seen him in a while,
    so...

    		7:00 P.M.
    
    People who have extra cooking-type things to do may come early,
    and watch me vacuum.  If multiple people want to bring DEC turkey,
    I'll hold a lottery to see who the lucky person is (or maybe more
    than one; turkey is nice).  There's one thing I'm going to be
    very hard-nosed about: no more than 50% of the dishes should be
    chocolate.
    
    See you!
    
    						Ann B.

50% of the number of dishes, or 50% of the content of each dish?

Either way is fine by me.

M.

    Yes.
    
    						Ann
    
    P.S.  I *did* have the former in mind.

	Yes, I would like to go.....More than happy to go.....
	Yes I will be there.....

			Mike

    I'd like to go, having missed the last one...I'm waiting, however,
    to see upon which day the bouncing ball lands us. I have a class
    on Jan 16, so I'd prefer the 15th, or another time in Jan....
    
    Waiting to see when "when" is...
    
    --De
    

    	Well...
    	  ... I've avoided the parties so far...
    	  ... and I'm read-mostly in here...
    	  ... but I know Ann outside of this file...
    	  ... and know a few other of the active noters in here
    	  	from other places and times...
    	  ... and Wayland is sort of close to home...
    
    	so...
    
    	...I guess I've just talked myself into tentatively saying I might
    	     	come..			;-)
    
    					--Doug

    January 16th it is...(and Jenna if you don't show up :-) )
    
   Bonnie will be there with either Don ( who may have to be
    on a business trip) or her oldest son and guest from
    South Africa..or alone...and I will bring some kind of salad.
    
    smiles

    Tonite I talked on the phone with Jym Dyer exchanging seasons
    greetings. I suggested that he might like to come to Ann's on
    the 16th and he appeared to be willing to think about it.

    One more from the didn't-make-it-last-time ranks.  I'll bring
    a spinakopita.
    
    Steve
    

    Count me in - I regretted missing the last one, being "elsewhen" too.
    My favorite Things to Make for Parties include poppy-seed cake, sambal
    (hot & spicy cucumber appetizer), and/or a baked-bean dish or a
    cassoulet. 
    
    -beth

    I'll be there.
    
    This time, I might even try to learn a few more words to the songs
    I think I know. (Maybe even a few more songs. I can hear the 
    cries already: "Oh no, Alan, anything but *that*" :-) ).
    
    I haven't yet decided what to bring, but whatever it is, it
    won't be homemade (not with the way I un-cook)! :-)
    
      Alan
    

    Curiousity impels:  Alan. . .which tunes?  I ask (admitting
    the risk of a rat-hole) because I have a bunch of sheet music
    and might be able to help out.
    
    Steve
    

    well actually I can answer this one...Alan knew lots of songs
    that Don didn't. What was needed was a good 'cheat' book to
    help the guitarist, and the people who didn't have Alan's memory
    for words.

	Denise (MPGS::BLANCHARDD) and I will come. I plan on making
	chicken stroganoff (Ann, got room for an electric wok to heat
	it up?), I'm sure she'll come up with something good (hey Dee,
	we're below the chocolate quota:-).

	Maybe those interested in singing/playing can get together
	off-line and compare sheet-music collections... That is, of
	course, assuming Ann (not to mention any neighbors of hers)
	doesn't mind having an amateur band spring up in her living
	room:-).
	
	Mike

    If someone should receive the game "Pictionary" as a present, why
    don't you give that a whirl at your party.  The more to a group,
    the more interesting the game will be.
    
    Have fun
    
    Cathy

    
    Re: last
    
    I agree!  I've played both Pictionary and Win, Lose or Draw! at
    parties and they're both a *blast*!
    
    Happy Holidays!
    
    Carol
    

    Just received Win Lose or Draw for Christmas and it *is* a blast.
    We even figured out code symbols to make the game more interesting,
    plus save time (draw an ear for "sounds like", arrow right for
    after, arrow left for before, etc).
    
    Cathy (who will also try Pictionary to see the difference)

After the last party how could I miss this one.  I don't know what I'll make 
yet. (How are we doing on the chocolate quota?)

--David

    Great!  Please add my name to the list.  I'll bring an apple cobbler
and the words to Waltzing Matilda.  Maybe it's time for one of the musical
among us to write "The Womannotes Song,"  perhaps to the music of The
Whiffenpoof Song. 
                                                         Meigs

    I will come also with my David and we don't know what we will bring
    yet.
    Mary

>  Maybe it's time for one of the musical
>among us to write "The Womannotes Song,"  perhaps to the music of The
>Whiffenpoof Song. 

    There's something  a  little odd about using the theme song of the
    one  of  the  last all male institutions in what has traditionally
    been  an  all  male all wasp institution for such a catholic (note
    the small "c") organization as Womannotes.

--David

    (I went  to  Yale as a Grad student, and still found traces of the
    old  Wasp style. The funny part was when my department tenured its
    first goy.)

    Jon Callas and I will attend, Ann. I'm versatile as far as what
    food to bring, so I'll wait until the list starts getting published
    with food items and then fill in some gap.
    
    Tamzen

    i'd like to attend, and will do my best to meet the chocolate quota.
    
    liz

    Ann, you absent-minded twit, you got it wrong.
    
    Membership in Boskone costs $25 (TWENTY-five dollars).  I'm sorry
    about that.
    
    					Grovel, grovel, Ann B.

    
    I'd like to come. I don't know what I'll bring yet. Something easy,
    because I have a workshop that day. 
    
    Jenny

    RE: .43
    
    Russ, what are you talking about? I know you're talking about chess
    (I think), but why are you challenging me to a match? 
    
    To be sure, there are games I *do* play, but chess is definitely
    not one of my fortes.
    
      Alan

	Dee and I won't be able to make it after all, out-of-town
	guests to entertain...
	
	Mike

    I hope to be there, my daughter is leaving home for good :-), on
    the 17th, but she should be all ready to go and shouldn't need me
    on the 16th.

    
    Dale and I will be there, Ann.  And we'll bring something Chinese.
    
    
    About the Sing-A-Long.. sounds fun.  Does anyone have sheet music
    for "Glad to Be a Woman" by Betsy Rose?
    
    Justine

    RE: .49
    
    Russ, not only am I not a regular chess player (I love using all
    those double negatives - must be a late rebellion against my
    elementary school English teachers), I'm not even much of an
    irregular chess player.
    
    Maybe I should try some Ex-Lax. :-)
    
      Alan  

    um guys, could you take this to mail...it makes it hard to
    put together a distribition list with all the chaff among
    the grain.
    :-) Bonnie

    I plan to go and bring a friend.
    
    Is this on the 15th or the 16th???

    I have finally determined that my ski trip is _not_ this weekend,
    and so will be at this party.  What to bring?
    
    How do people feel about borscht?  And I can make it without any
    animal products (other than the sour cream, which you can choose
    not to add), especially for liz and Ellen.
    
    Lee

    Ah, Lee.  I had been thinking of starting a note entitled "Laws
    of Huzifry [Housewifery]".  One of these laws would be:  "After
    you have scrubbed the kitchen floor, you will suffer attacks of
    butterfingers.  Probably involving beets."  I'll be cleaning my
    kitchen floor before the party (I know that it makes more sense
    to do it afterwards.) and now you tell me you're bringing beets.

Jenna

    I cased my local Shaw's Supermarket the other night, and I've decided
    what I'm going to bring:
    
       - "Primo" (their term, not mine) Pasta Salad which contains
         a mishmash of ingredients
    
       - Sea Food Salad
    
       - A bunch of 2-Liter bottles of *non-dietetic* Coke Classic
         and Cherry Coke 
    
    RE; .54
    
    Lee, borscht, yummy. It'll seem like Passover has come two months 
    early. :-)
    
      Alan

    I'm bringing not-your-run-of-the-mill-cheeses and crackerses.
    
    If anyone has a particular favorite cheesy comestible...I'll try
    to obtain it.

    Well, since  you  asked: I'm quite partial to Gruyere (an austrian
    cheese like swiss, but harder and with almost no holes.), Saga ( a
    layered  cheese  made  of  some Bleu cheese and Brie), interesting
    cheddar  like  cheeses  (almost  all  of  them  are  English) like
    Cotswild.  There's  also an excellent layered cheese of Blue and a
    cheddar.  I'm  afraid that I don't remember the names of the other
    good cheddars.

    My plane gets in from D.C. at 8, so whether I make it or not depends
    on picking up the luggage, getting out to Alewife to pick up the
    car, etc.   If I do make it, it will probably be around 9:30, but
    I would like to try to come for a while.
    
    Can't promise any goodies, although I see someone else is covering
    spanokopita these days!
    
    Holly

    for those who would like to meet an old friend...
    
    Jym Dyer has said that he and possibly Cheryl will be coming
    to the party

   I am amazed that there have been no new additions to the party
    list several days...usually by now we have last minute adds
    pouring in...
    
    I have had three diff people write to me and say that they weren't
    sure about going to Ann's house because they had argued with her...
    
    Ann has replied that while she does expect a degree of intellectual
    rigor from the people she discusses things with that no one should
    feel that disagreeing with her  in a arguement should be a reason
    not to come on Sat.
    
    Bonnie

    	I agree, imposing as she is, Ann is "mostly harmless."

    	I have never met Ann B., but judging from what she writes
    	she has got to be one neat person!! I may not always agree
    	with what she says but do admire how she says it.

    If I can, I'll come. Where are the directions? I get lost easily.

    				Alfred

I'd love to come, and I'll get started on a babysitter tonight.  
I'll bring what my son calls my Famous Mexican Bean Dip...no 
animal products except sour cream.

I know where Wayland is but after that...

Looking forward to meeting you all.

    	Have you exceeded your chocolate quota yet?  If not, I'll bring
    	a chocolate marquis with pistachio sauce.  If yes, I'll bring
    	some form of cheesecake...

    I too enjoyed the party, but in the name of all small furry things,
    couldn't more of you have taken away your leftovers?
    
    							:-) Ann B.

    Eagle,
    
    I've had racoons.  I have pictures of racoons.  In my garage.
    In my kitchen.  In my living room.  I do not *want* to have
    racoons again.  (Did you know that they can -- and will -- open
    a bottle of peanut oil, and *then* attempt to drag it home with
    them?  More than once?)
    
    To put out food for smaller animals is unfair; I have cats.
    
    							Ann B.
    
    P.S.  Yes, I understand, and appreciate the thought.  But the deed!

    Great party - wonderful time! Let's have *all* our parties at Ann's
    house! 
    
    [No, no, Ann, it's OK - I was just kidding... Quick, somebody, get
    her out of the bathroom...]
    
    Gosh, I'd pay cash money to see the racoons pull that stunt with
    the peanut oil. Shall we set up a racoon-watching blind and wait?
    
    Many thanks,
    -b

Ann et al,

Sorry I didn't make it (although someone must have impersonated 
me, as I was listed as attending...) but I came down with a 
serious sinus-headache.  Darn...and I even had the babysitter set 
up!

Them's the breaks.  I hope there'll be another one, and that I 
can go.

Glad you all had a good time,

Roxanne

Thanks Ann,  

Had a great time.  Was also delighted to meet you. And your cats, which are 
very nice creatures.

Meigs

    re:.80
    
    Carol Champion wasn't there, but that's OK. Well, no, it isn't
    OK. Well, you know what I mean.

    Special thanks to Ann for hosting the mobile menagerie ;-) And it
    was nice meeting all you faceless names at last - sorry if I missed
    anyone, so many good conversations, I had to sort of stay read-only
    much of the time. looking forward to another, hopefully in warmer
    weather. Dana
    
    PS. The brownies were great !

    It was a splendiferous time.  I had to vacate early because of the
    lovely fluffy felines, but no matter.  I'll redouble my efforts
    (I'd rather not redouble my drugs) to attend the next party.

    re:  all the "great party" replies:  Hear!  Hear!
    
    re: .84 (racoons):  Watch long enough and you'll see them
    work in teams!  (used to drive my folks nutz)

    "Her" name was (and is) Karen Hackett, a friend of mine from college
    days, currently exiled from San Diego to the wilds of Boston. She
    told me to tell everyone she had a great time, and enjoyed meeting
    you all.
    
    By the way, the Champagne was from Bob RANCHO:: Holt and I didn't
    bring truffles 'cause I managed to get to an oven. On the other
    hand, do you know how *hard* it is finding enchilada sauce in Boston!?
    
    Great party, hope I can make the next one!
    
    	-- Charles
    
    P.S. Ann, I suspect your dream was caused by an O.D. on chocolate...
    yum! Blame it all on Martin, what a wonderful dessert!

Blame the dessert on LeN�tre -- Desserts and Pastries.  It was the
"Concorde" a combination of chocolate meringue and chocolate mousse.
Took longer to clean the kitchen than it did to make the cake.

Any one can do it: you just need 14 eggs, some sugar, some cocoa,
and 3/4 pound of chocolate (1/2 Merkens Yucatan, 1/2 unsweetened baking
chocolate.)

Martin.

    
    	    
    The party was grand (even tho' I'm not on your attendees list, Ann...)
    and the "Concorde" glorious.
    
    Thank you, thank you, Ann.
    
    				cathy (ofttimes invisible in a crowd)
    			

    Cathy, we both must be invisible, except I saw you.
    
    At least, I think I was there, but it may have been a dream.  (Except,
    I have these mysterious borscht-colored spots on my coat...).
    
    Peggy, I'm still looking for the book.  I can't find it used, either.
    Time to call out to the West Coast branches of the lsc revolving
    library.  (It's _Voyage_To_Arcturus_, if someone wants to help.)

    This was the second visit by my daughter to =w= party.  She is
    beginning to like them (especially the chocolate stuff).
    
    The party was good, the food was great and the hostess was magnificent
    Greta and Ann showed me how to use hair sticks.  I  will have to
    get some to try on my hair.

    Next time I am definitely *not* going to forget to hand around
    an attendance sheet (as I did do everyother party but the last
    one) and Lisa I am especially emabarassed for forgetting you...
    since we did talk for a bit.

    A nice Tupperware container was left behind.  Before being emptied,
    the last things it had contained were a few pickled mushrooms (which
    were enjoyed).  Who left it?
