Our party is the whole School (within the University) and my first year it was at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, last year it was at the Science Museum (which was AWESOME) and it's at the MFA again this year. I like going, it's big enough that you can disappear if you need to. I wish we were going to the Aquarium, which is where they had it the year before I started. Could hang with the penguins!
The Bay City Rollers, now that's music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My larger team is having a potluck and white elephant gift exchange. The question is, do I try for a vaguely normal silly gift, or should I just go with wrapping up some wacky goth stuff, because that's what they expect me to do anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You could buy a Precious Moments figurine and have Pete turn it into a vampire...

The company part is up at a fancy schmancy resort about an hour away. The invitation came in the mail and specified Best Dress. My best dress is an Elizabethan gown, so not so much, and I'm not going clothes shopping.
Fortunately, on the same day, is the SCA fancy event, for which the Elizabethan gown is utterly suited.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I printed out the entire proceedings of an international conference. And now I can't think of which paper was the one that I thought fit the research topic my boss is working on.
An entire conference. (It was accidental . . . but still.)
