Last Friday I hosted “B” Scary Movie Night for the MI monthly social. The plan was self-explanatory. Meet up, bring food, and watch awful horror movies. As typical for Friday nights a large contingent of people with afternoon Friday classes met at Handsome Willies to enjoy happy hour and FREE FOOD. Good free food is always a huge plus and Pat-the guy at Willie’s who cooks, is a great cook.
Kelly planned for everyone to arrive at my place around 8 so naturally the 1st person showed up around 8:30. Will (another MI) was one of the first to arrive. Lauren (another MI), my roommate, and I live on the 5th floor of our apartment building and the building gods will not allow us to have a gate entrance code, which poses a problem when having guests over, especially when they sort of trickle in. My usual solution is throwing my keys off the balcony to the guest below, and this usually works. However, due to what Will claims was a bad throw and I would say was Will’s inability to catch, this time the throwing of the keys did not work. Will missed the keys and went flying backward into the bushes along St. Charles Ave, losing not only my keys but also his shoes. Apparently he is notable for forgetting his shoes in random places, never to be found again (Kelly Nowicki, 2011). Anyways after some time we found my keys, remembered his shoes, and the party finally started.
We had about 15 MI’s, RPCVs and other friends show up, which we considered an accomplishment given the other events happening that night; birthday parties and other such less-important nonsense. People brought all sorts of goodies from candy to very “crispy” “and totally awesome” baked pumpkin seeds. Special thanks to Will who made Pierogi from scratch. Pierogi are Polish dumplings filled with cheese, shallots, bacon bits, and scalloped potatoes that are boiled and fried with onions! Pretty much a dish that belongs on the list of great tasting heart attacks. He also picked out the movie for the evening, “Black Sheep,” which truly met the “B” requirement for the evening. The movie was the “unrated edition,” had never made it anywhere near theaters, and I’m surprised it even made it onto DVD. I guess someone was trying to break even. The phrase on the box said all you need to know “There are 40 million sheep in New Zealand… AND THEY’RE PISSED OFF!”
Thanks to everyone for coming and bringing food. All said and done it was a fun evening that ended in true form with Will forgetting his shoes under the coffee table.
