we likes to party

Music: The Black Ghosts: "Face" (Southern Fried single; 2006)

In the immortal lyric of Midnight Starr: we likes to party, we likes to jam! Last Saturday we had the "Rhetoric & Language Afterparty," which is basically a party that utilizes funds from the department. The funds are for an area-specific party for rhetoricians and linguists and political comers to get together and eat and drink. Since I hosted it again this year, I opened up the party to "everybody" at 9:30 p.m. The attendance this year was low, which had us scratching our heads since it's almost mid-semester. In any event, we managed to have a good time and dance our booty off. Some people even had "Feats! Of! Strength!" You can find a gallery of the good times here.

Speaking of red roosters, we're getting ready to throw our most slammin' annual Halloween costume party, "Dead-a-licious 2006." This year's theme: "You think you have it bad!? I have to walk back alone!" They'll be LIVE DJs! and a costume contest (with a real trophy award) and all kinds of fun shenanigans. Texas peeps can click-a-da invite for more details.
