I am SO there!!!

It's the holiday season. And with the holiday season comes holiday parties. The pinnacle of holiday parties for most of us is the company party. Yes, that fun loving, festive event where the person in the cubicle across from yours dances on the table just before telling the VP he's an ass and throwing up in the punch bowl. It is simply a 'must attend' event. After all, you don't want to be hearing from someone else about the scandalous dress that Mary Beth wore, or about how Bob did a face plant while trying to leap onto the stage for karaoke. Right? That shit is too good to miss.

Of course, the reason I bring this up is because our company is having it's Holiday Party this weekend. I was torn about whether I should attend until I saw the announcement today reminding us to purchase our tickets. It included all the usual information. Date, time, place, ticket price, dress code,etc. But the thing that caught my eye... the thing which clinched it for me was the menu.

There were two items in particular which got my attention. The first was the fact there would be an open bar for 4 HOURS!. This almost certainly guarantees that someone will get drunk and show their ass before the night is over.

The second, equally important menu item was the "Dessert Flambe' Station".



An open bar and flaming desserts. Now THAT is entertainment. It has "America's Funniest Home Video" written all over it. Not only do I plan to be there. I'm bringing my video camera, my digital camera and my cell phone with the emergency fire and police numbers pre-programmed.

Note to self: Sit near an exit.
