It's the party that's so regular we almost don't need to send out
invitations! We've had another trip around the sun and it's time
to celebrate with the Gamer's New Year's eve party! Celebrate with
those others who say, "What? I have to pause the game for some
countdown?!?"

Who: You! and any friends you want to invite
What: Board Gaming! And celebration of the earth leveling up.
When: 3pm until very late at night New Years Eve (Th. Dec. 31st, 2015)

Countdowns for the kids at 4pm (Midnight GMT) and Midnight Pacific for t
+he older folks. Dinner around 6pm.

Where: Our house: 1264 Albion Ln., Sunnyvale, CA 94087
RSVP: If you will be there for dinner it's appreciated, but not needed

What to bring: If you'll be there for dinner, please bring a dish of
something vaguely healthy (side or salad). We'll have a vegetable
tray and pizzas.

We'll be providing Martinalli's sparkling apple cider to ring
in the new year, but if you'd prefer something stronger, please
bring it yourself or coordinate with others to share.

We have plenty of floor space if you are from a distance away and
would prefer to sleep over. I believe all but one of the beds are
claimed already. We have a limited number of sleeping bags, you
may want to toss one in the car just in case.

Hope to see you soon!

It's almost New Year's Eve, which means it's almost time for the Gamer's New Year's Eve party!! Come game the day and night away with those who say: "Do I have to count down New Year's Eve now, may I take another turn first?"

When: Monday Dec 31st, 3pm until long past midnight
Where: 1264 Albion Ln, Sunnyvale, CA
Who: You! And any friends you would like to invite
What to bring: Side-dish, appetizer, or drinks* to share
RSVP: If you know you'll want yummy meat** for dinner, please RSVP by the 28th. Feel free to show up or bring friends at the last minute anyway, but an order-of-magnitude count is helpful.

Many of the kids are getting old enough to enjoy playing together for extended periods of time, so we'll be starting the party at 3pm for kids, with a GMT 4pm count-down to the New Year. My parents are whisking my kids off to their house for the night at 7, so we'll have several rooms available to put kids to sleep in. Staying overnight is encouraged.

* For ringing in the new year, we'll provide sparkling cider, but if you'd like something stronger, please bring it along or coordinate with others.

** Dinner will be fancy grilled teriyaki shish-ka-bobs and other grilled treats starting at 6pm(ish). We'll also have hotdogs, hamburgers, and grilled cheese. The ovens
will be available if you have a side dish or appetizer you'd like to heat up.

See you soon!!

If you're reading this, you must be unique and a cool person, so we'd love to have you at our Gamer's New Year's eve party:

We are hosting the traditional New Year's Eve gathering of those who say, "Do I have to go upstairs and count down to the New Year? Can't we play one more round first?"

What: Gamer's New Year's Eve Party
When: Monday December 31st 6:00 pm - Tuesday early afternoon
Who: You! and any friends you wish to invite
Where: PB&J Household (*P*eter,*B*eth,*A*mber,*J*on)
1264 Albion Lane
Sunnyvale, CA 94087
408-530-0554
What to bring:
Snacks & Drinks if desired (**see below)
Sleeping bag or blanket if you might stay late.

It's fine to come to our party after your other ones have wound down. Games of Liar's Poker have been known to continue until dawn.

Staying overnight if you don't look safe to drive home is strongly encouraged/mandatory as in other years. In fact, if you stay after 3am, we're making it mandatory because Jon and I need to get some sleep but we wouldn't be good hosts if we let people drive home without a sanity check from a sober friend first. I recommend throwing a sleeping bag in your car for "just in case." The beds are claimed but we have many couches to sleep on.

We'll serve the traditional strawberry & banana crepes and blueberry pancakes on New Year's Day starting around 11 am.

Peter will be spending the night at my wonderful parents house, but Amber will be here for those who need to see some cute 6-month-old baby goodness. Ellie and Alex will be overnighting here. We'll have kid food and kid friendly activities until 8, then more serious gaming the rest of the night.

**Jon and I will provide the usual pizzas/carrots/dip/Sparkling Cider but if you would like something more alcoholic to ring in the new year, plan to bring your own or coordinate with others in advance.

We hope to see you soon! Invite friends! We love meeting new people.
