ARGH. Evite strikes again - my sister has invited all FOUR of her roommates to D's birthday party. Now I have to call her and get them uninvited - 4 extra people at a one year-old's party is WAY TOO MANY.
And I'm extra-pissed she didn't ask me first. She should know better.
{{{{DJ & friend}}}} Awesome tattoo, sweetie.
I didn't sleep well last night, either, but my play is featured in the SF Chron! o/!
What is with people? unless an invitation specifically says something, it's an invitation for one person!
Well, Evite does have the "allow guests to invite guests" function - I just forgot to turn it off. Still, it's polite to ASK.

Oh! You just reminded me -- I was going to ask if anyone had any experience with socializr.com, because my evite hatred level finally hit the "but I don't wanna" point (for a whole lot of CHEESY little SPAMMY annoying CAN'T EXPORT YOUR ADDRESS BOOK reasons, not this). And I was noticing after Vortex's ordeal that one of the nice details over there is that you can allow people to add on, but cap the number each one can add, and all suchlike things.

She should. Regardless of electronic invite technology.
Perhaps the first rule of technology should be, just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.
So was there some kind of massive anti-sleep zone over the US last night?
Apparently I stole this. Because I got a new alarm clock, and woke up slightly before it went off, to go "hrm, what time did I set it for, anyway?"
And then I woke up a little after it was suppose to go off, to go "Er, clearly something went wrong there..."
And then I woke up a LOT after it was supposed to go off, to go "Aww, crud"
(Luckily, although I have a lot of stuff to do today, none of it was "must do at X o'clock", which was part of why I did not have a backup alarm set, but still! I did not expect to oversleep the alarm by TWO HOURS)
Seriously. I have an evite to an 80's movie party next weekend. I know of about 4 other people not on the evite who would love to go. I also know that the hosts are "the more the merrier" types. You know what I did? Hung out with said host last night and asked if it would be ok if those other people came.

The thing with this is? If the host isn't okay with extras, they're glad you asked. And if they are okay with extras, they're STILL glad you asked. There's really a whole lot of win there, but somehow people don't get this!
And even if they are ok with extras, what if they're not ok with that particular extra?
Said host last night invited her ex-boyfriend's recent ex-girlfriend based on my rec, but I wouldn't have just assumed that it was ok to invite her.
