Dan-o is leaving us... http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=32841.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=32841.0)  

....so we're gonna have a big party to celebrate!   [beer]

WHAT: Potluck Send-off  (Please bring a dish and/or booze)  
WHEN: Saturday, Jan 9, 3:00 till 7ish (end t.b.d.)
WHERE: (Casa Mostrobelle/Enzo aka Heather & Evan) 263 Mather St., Oakland, CA  five-1-oh, five-9-five-3-eight-3-six
WHO: Mobsters and their friends and family

A few logistics:

We have plenty of street parking, but there's also quite a bit of space on the driveway and in the garage for motos.  Cars should park on the street.

There's a Safeway two blocks away from us for procrastinators.

We will have a gas and conventional grills for your use in addition to a full kitchen.  

As usual, the fire pit will be in operation--bring your own 150 for fire breathing.  Please try not to burn down my house unless you want a couple of roommies.  We have other, safer outdoor heating available to us as well, but dress reasonably warm.    

Hope to see you there!  (I know I've forgotten something really important, so don't hesitate to ask here.)

edit:  small edit on the time--AFM Banquet is that night and I've got a date for it.  Might have to close down a little earlier than what I've posted, but I'll keep you guys informed.  

 [thumbsup]

 [thumbsup]

DTM, open flames and 151 being spewed?  what could possibly go wrong?  [roll]

Canadians could show up.

But seriously...you should definitely make it over. Fire parties at Casa Sanders-Jacob are awesome. I assume Jamie's gonna be there?

so you'll be bringing the video camera?   ;D

Leave the Evan-ator the keys, duh.
Or, we'll let ourselves out.

 [thumbsup]

Firebreathing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxpMgse4lCs#normal)

Evan's my date.   ;D  I'm checking to see if I can get trust-worthy stand in hosts...otherwise you fools get the boot when I leave.

must resist temptation to fire back insult ... must resist temptation to fire back insult ... must resist temptation to fire back insult ... 

Sorry man. At this point, it's a reflex motion. Just saying I hope you show up.

IN! Thanks again for hosting.

must fight temptation to write "like your gag reflex!" ... must fight temptation to write "like your gag reflex!" ... must fight temptation to write "like your gag reflex!" ...  [roll]

and grazie ... i will try and make the ride up and over to casa di mostrobelle e enzo

Giddy-up...I'm in.

OK, so where do we head from your place, Santa Rita?

Piedmont Ave, College Ave or Temescal area all offer several bars.   [drink]

IN  [thumbsup] [moto] [drink]

Awesome MB! I am so in.  This adventure of Dan's is the coolest thing ever, so fack yeah, I'll be there.

I'll do some food since it sounds like everyone else is bringing booze.  ;D

pot luck?
bringing gasoline and kerosene, + numbers of the best ho-houses in S.E.Asia.    :D


What are we burning? 

Bishes better not burn my house down or 'Belle's gonna bring on da pain. 

Should we get a keg for the occasion?  ...for drinking and possible fire extinguishing duty? 

Lil Bastard's first B-day pahtay that day.   :-[   

Doesn't she sleep 22 hours a day?  Do her thing and then come over and drink beers with us.  Besides, it's not like she *knows* it's her first birthday, let alone cares.  For that matter, you could skip birthdays until she's about four.    [coffee]

Kids 1st birthday = mom and dad completely in the bag.
If tradition holds, he won't be in any shape to make the trip.

He bought a house with a basement.  Why that kid isn't in it more, I'll never know. 

Eldest daughter's actual 4th b-day that day  :-[   

I have put this on my calendar.

Hell, bring the kids. They have to learn sometime not to drink 151 rum.

The problem is not 'Lil Bastard as much as the in-laws from Maine and my family from down south who have decided that a first b-day is something worth traveling for.   [roll]

Or the right way to drink 151.  I'm just saying.

I just watched your gif avatar for 5 minutes.
omg I have jet lag.

I am in, and I am psyched! [thumbsup]

I think I'm going to make some ribs (cuz you can never have too many ribs) and a special dessert with some help.  Standard party fare will be served, but I'm counting on folks to bring special creations or we're gonna get wasted waaaaay too fast.  I was thinking...how would bacon and marshmallows taste? 

I was thinking Korean BBQ ribs, or maybe some slow cooked tri-tip.

Also i got a ton of liquer that needs to be drunk, so ill bring it.

My votes for tri-tip.   [thumbsup] 

are the korean BBQ ribs made from real koreans?

Most excellent Bell & Enzo I'll bring the Yoo Hoo & Twinkies... oh and the 151 [evil]

IN.

And I'll be sure to blow the fireballs away from the house this time.   ;D

I think DQ and I can take the helm when you're ready to ditch these heathens. He's good at kicking butt...and encouraging stupid behavior. [evil]

Hope everyone is surviving or survived Christmas!  Looking forward to seeing everyone for this.  BG, you and DQ can assist MrI and Somegirl in hosting duties upon my departure.  They have agreed to come a little later during the party in order to shoo everyone out the door and man the extinguisher.   [thumbsup]

I just wanted to quote heather as saying both myself and DQ would be watching over her house and a bunch of drunken hooligans.


Just think how bad things have to be when this would seem like a good option.

Was just thinking the same thing. [evil]

perhaps ... but somegirl and bg will be the ones in charge ... you two are simply window dressing ... you two are like w., and somegirl and bg are like cheney.  [evil]

When I am put in charge of the 'Belle compound, my first act will be to remove you from the premises.

No worries there JohnC wont show...

Me and the missus will be there... with some homemade pure corn shine in hand.

Excellent!  Looking forward to having folks there.  Jimbo is threatening to bring Razors and have races down the street in full gear and lots of beer.  Should be interesting.   [laugh]

Ill think ill stay away, im going to need my gaurdian angels on high alert, no sense in burning them out now. Otherwise, i'd be the fastest.

I don't know about that, Dan.  One is orange with a flame paint job.  
Table-top ramps over the bbq, me thinks.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone shortly! 

BBQ and firepit: ready
Beer: plenty
Marshmallows: preparing to be roasted

Heather and Evan thanks for hosting today.

Nice seeing all you guys today.

Dan thanks for scraping me off the road twice over the years =) I hope you have a great and safe trip.

Be sure to pick out your blog name and post often.

Robert =)

Yes, thanks for the hosting and organizing, and kudos to Dan for a great adventure begun.

thanks for hosting heather and evan.

dan, good luck with...all that. remember, a little cup check goes a long way.

Thanks MM. It's saying that's a private vid. You have a moment with Jamie while we weren't looking?  ;D

Nice seeing all you guys! Good luck Dan!
Thanks for hosting Ev and 'Bell

Thanks again for hosting it was great to see everyone before i go. Thanks DQ and Bg for staying past your bedtime to entertain Jimbo and me.

The adventure begins Thursday, so as soon as i get some pics and a site, party on!

Thanks to E and H.  Sorry about the special 'mess' I left by the garage door but boy do I feel better now.

Dan, you're the man.  Blog title: The Random Misadventure of Dan and Goose.
Safe travels, buddy.

Awesome having everyone.   [thumbsup]  Sorry we had to bug out, but it sounds like folks didn't miss us.  Dan, I hope you enjoyed yourself and good luck on your travels! 

Jimbo - where's my scooter?  You get drunk and forget?   [laugh]  And what's this "mess" you're talking about?

MM - vid won't show for me either. 

Should be viewable now. Sorry 'bout that. Damn utub.

Enzo just sad..."What a strange tradition...."  after watching the fire breathing vid. [laugh]

Dan's new copilot. Now all she needs are some duckles.

ATF has been alerted to this vid ... fair warning. [evil]

Thanks for hosting!
And once again, nothing (important) was harmed in the making of those videos.   [laugh]
Though for Dan's welcome home party, I'm getting a jumbo bottle of 151.  The scary booze in plastic bottles just didn't cut it... and I still can't get the taste of root beer outta my mouth.   [cheeky]

That wasn't root beer...

... at least not the 'beer' part.

Glad everyone had a good time.  Thanks for not torching our house...or our neighbor's house...or their cats.

I'm sure we won't find the last hidden cocktail umbrella until we move out.

Dan, have a great trip!

It was a stone cold groove! Thanks for letting me parked on your really steep driveway 8)
