Keith is Hosting a Surprise Party!

Received a invite for a surprise birthday party for a neighbor turning 50. Her husband sent out the invitation. Does it really count as 'Hosting" a party when you're asking the guests to do most of the work?! I kinda feel bad for his wife, if she knew this is how he's throwing her a party I think she would be horribly embarrassed. Keith is a bit of a shit, imo.

If I decide to RSVP I will likely sign up to help with bar/drinks during the party. Because I'm good at making my own drinks. I'm also good at helping my self to food at a party, so I might have to sign up for that too !

I know a guy who throws a Super Bowl party every year. It's BYOB. He makes wings and Chili. Then he sells strip cards and squares. Cool. Then he has a medium stakes poker game where he pulls $3 to $7 from every pot to pay for the party. Goes on for about 8 hours. I finally asked him at the poker table why not just charge a cover charge at the door? He looked upset and muttered something about paying for the party. I'm wondering why only the poker players pay for the party. And why are we paying anything? It's already BYOB and the chili is too chunky. Everyone else seems to love it though. I hadn't gone in about 8 years until this year. Never again. Maybe Im an asshole.

I'm an asshole too. It's cool if someone offers to bring something or to help with a party, or chips in some cash toward a keg. But when it's expected it just kinda sucks.

haven't seen them for sale recently.

1, Keith probably already put his wife to work on her own surprise party.
2. Thanks for confirming I’m an asshole, Zang.
..don’t invite me to your wifes’s surprise party and ask me to sign up to work it.
of course I don’t mind lending a hand and typically arrive with a platter and/or drinks and am happy to lend a hand. Don’t expect it though and tell me what to do!

We share a desktop and both mail accounts are on it. Email alerts show up on the desktop so if one of us is working on it we can see the subject of the emails. We don't read each others emails. But just last week I ordered painting from an artist as a gift for him and he saw the notification pop up on the screen with shipping info. D'oh. Might need to change the notification settings.
If you have follow up questions, you can email them to me..

Oh man, my buddy was turning
Oh man, my buddy was turning 50 in the middle of our "home" bluegrass festival, the weekend our FAVE band was doing a long awaited reunion. He had this new-ish girlfriend who was super sweet but almost overly so. She is big fan of the "other" band playing after the reunion band. She sent this email for this elaborate 50th birthday weekend that involved a LOT of work. Wanting people to plan their own cutesy surprises for him throughout the weekend, culminating in some mandatory dinner. Ugh, that is NOT this guy's personality, and we all know him far better and no one wants to spend their weekend planning scavenger hunts for a bunch of middle aged people who are camping out together all weekend anyway. Kinda flamed out but she showed up with gift bags and then made our poor buddy sit there for a catered dinner at the campsite DURING the reunion band's set! I flew all the way across the country for this set so fuck that. He got that and dearly wished he hadn't missed the highlight of the weekend. Of course, it was all planned so girlfriend got to see HER band with her man on her arm.
It didn't last.

Nanc you'll probably get a variety of explanations but in my mind, a jackalope is someone who should know better, yet remains pretty clueless.
For example when you're on an airplane and the guy in back of you let's his tray table just slam down, as opposed to slowly lowering it. That's a jackalope.
Or the guy who pulls into the Whole Foods parking lot and sees a great spot up front where a family is just arriving to their car. As opposed to driving another 27 yards to one of the many open spaces, he'll wait with his blinker on for 4 minutes while the family leisurely loads in their groceries, subsequently backing up traffic 12 cars deep while he waits for his prize spot. Jackalope.
And in your case, sending out an email where you talk about yourself in the 3rd person, asking people to administer a party for your wife.
The list goes on ad infinitum.

Email sent. Hopefully the subject line doesn't cause any issues at the house.

Got it! And you definitely get it.

go toss a salad, sucker.

Yeah, I don't see Keith and D. lasting much longer. She seems unhappy.
I'll keep the zone updated as to their marital status and what transpires at the party.
