Oats and Iron

Steel cut oats are my favorite food. I used to type a lot about diet and weight training, but these days I share more about my friends and random things I am thinking about.

Fun Games and Cocktail Party in NYC this Thursday

On Thursday at 7 to 10pm, some friends and I are going to throw an amazing different interesting cocktail party.

MENU
Joel from Carrot Gin will be making delicious fresh fruit and vegetable alcoholic drinks for $5 each. Diana and Mitch will be on hand with milkmade ice cream samples for $1 and $2. I will also have some lemon vodka in the freezer you can help yourself to.

AGENDA
We will spend all night trying a bunch of social games that I have wanted to play, such as musical chairs, trust falls, and “How Long Can You Hold Your Breath” (no cheating).

As I explained my social game ideas to a few people this weekend, here is what they said:

  • “This sounds like an HR party.”
  • “Sometimes I am surprised you are not a youth minister.”
  • “This is what happens when you work at home.”

DO NOT COME IF YOU ARE NOT EXCITED ABOUT PARTICIPATING. I am serious, I will ask you to leave if you are not playing nicely. The reason we are doing this is to try something different than just drinking and listening to music and talking to the same friends. I want people to make deeper connections.

It is going to be so much fun. We are going to experiment with group dynamics and you’ll meet some cool new people. RSVP required and NO GUESTS unless you ask me first.

If you want to participate, message me on Facebook. I can’t promise I will write back to everyone, but we do have a few spots still available.

Wednesday night
If you CANNOT come on Thursday, I will be having a small private cocktail reception on Wednesday. I will test some of the games then and friends who are helping will be on hand for brainstorming. If I have already invited you to the Thursday party via text message, you are invited to come over for a quick drink any time 6pm to 10pm on Wednesday. A secret band will audition one or two songs for us around 8pm.
