My New Year’s Eve Party Concert Alternate Reality Extravaganza Guest List

Because people keep tagging me, and it’s the only way I can figure out to get them to stop

I have been tagged by a couple of T people (Tommy Paley, Terrye Turpin) requesting that I make a dream New Year’s Eve guest list. I didn’t read any rules, so I am just going to assume that I can invite people I don’t know. I am not going to open the deceased people can of worms, that would require too much thinking (and might be incredibly smelly.) But I am going to stretch reality a bit. Okay, a lot. You’ll see.

First off, what is a party without music? Boring, that’s what. Unless you like entirely blah, blah, blah… Then go for it. Not me. I got the music in me. So it will be a party/concert.

There will be designated quiet areas for stimulating conversation, because yelling over music is not fun. And there will also be an open mic Whatever stage, in case someone feels like doing a comedy routine, or recite a poem, or cut footloose, or sing, or whatever! Everyone gets to be a star tonight!

And there will be tons of tasty food. Paid for with imaginary money.
