That's probably closer to the truth.....where o where are you?
 
If he doesn't need any more PC items, he should do pick a worthy cause and do it as a fundraiser -- sales might even go higher!
 
It figures - I actually could have gone to the party, and don't see the post until the next morning!!

Oh, well - looking forward to hearing your totals, Keith. Shh, everyone, your shouting is probably making his head pound.

I'm falling off the couch laughing, picturing Keith trying to use P3 with a killer hangover. Not to mention, trying to decipher order forms written out by drunken partygoers. :DLast night:

Hahaha...against all standards of the gay community, I don't really drink. So, there was no hangover for me! We had fun, though. And I will update on total sales after the show closes. :)
 
Well, I can't compare to Keith's party at all but my Friday party had a lot of drinking involved (I had none - they didn't even offer). Some good orders, 3 bookings but at least half said they'll "call with their orders". That is not usually a good sign BUT because of the DPDS's I have their numbers and will call them today. Hopefully I can get her show up where it should be.

Keith, I hope you made the $2000+ goal! With a determined host you likely will make it! The host could do his Christmas shopping, donate items to shelters or day cares or places like that if he doesn't want/need to fill his kitchen with even more new PC items! WOO HOO!

All good things to those who wait. They were good, but not as good as the host was hoping.

Have you seen "The Exorcist"? In the scene at the end, the priest jumps out the window and falls down these super-steep really tall stairs. They are in Georgetown, a neighborhood here in DC. A popular tourist thing to do is to recreate that scene on those stairs. :)
 
Any news, yet?
 
we wanna know!!! lol
 
What was the final sales total?
