I´m looking forward to drinking Argentine Malvec wine with Salma Hayek

Thanks, everyone, but beware – the Frothers have spotted this topic, so there may be incoming…

Will you be allowed to ignore, or even stifle, other attendees?

A) Ummm no one.. No sense bringing a piece of eye-candy, she'd be bored to tears and probably wouldn't be very interesting.

b) Znaimer Goulash, with apple dumplings, and fresh asparagus for those of a central European mind.

b2. six roast ducklings each with a different stuffing and sauce.

b3. Cod filets simmered in wine sauce served over spinach in Breslin sauce.

c. Three cases of wine, one of Lancaster Winery's "Quilters delight," one case of Westfal Winery' "Spanish Passion" and one case of Ventimiglia winery "Buongiorno" (all to go with the dishes. For desert- a mix of desert wines, including blackberry, and especially-- Ice wine.

For desert- Schwarzwalder kirsch torte, (made the right way) and apple strudel mit schlag, and Baklava with lots of sweet honey to dip it in.

d.) Good evening, Bill, so pleased to meet you!

e. My conveersions for Turkish Musicians for my Seven Years War Army- One of them with a table of water glasses, one of them with a shaker organ, and one which is a one man-band with about 30 instruments on him (all of them converted and sculpted by me. The base figures are from Surens.

f. A first edition of HG Wells "Little Wars." Either that or the Flagon with the Dragon or the Chalice with the Palace.

never mind

Texas Jack… dude! (smile)
I want to seat down near OSchmidt! (smile)
Bill … you have to ask ID! (smile)

a) Which person you choose to go if you only are allowed to bring a guest?

My wife, she might be fantastic eye candy but she also rolls great dice and still gets a kick out of how many men are confused by her taking part in the hobby.

b) What kind of food you would take (given that everyone should bring something to eat).

Brats maybe, who knows, entirely dependent on there being fire to cook on.

c) Same about a drink (only allowed to bring one)

A good scotch or Irish whiskey.

d) What would be your first words when you're face to face with Bill?

Hey there.

e) Which miniature unit or model you take there, since one of the conditions for access to the party is to bring something related to the hobby.

I kinda figure bringing my wife would count since not many men can say their wives willfully participate in the hobby. Otherwise, a copy of a project I've been working on the last 5 years.

f) As a courtesy to Bill, what would be the little gift you'd take it?

Not sure, don't know him too well so it is hard to pick a gift. Likely random figures that I doubt I'll ever paint. One man's unpainted figures are another man's… unpainted figures.

Curiosity: Do people with sock puppets bring two guests or three?

Also, we aren't gonna be assigned table seating by "primary board of participation" are we because the Napoleonic boards get a little rowdy at times and by 'at times' I mean continually ;-)

Cheers,

The Bandit

Curiosity: Do people with sock puppets bring two guests or three?
