Since last year's ValentinesDayParty2007 - the first Valentines Commons party meeting - was such a huge success, we are doing it again this year: Valentines Commons 2008

 

Details:

 

 

Who's in?

in spirit

 

Bouncing

The privilege of controlling the virtual red velvet rope. Sign up for a shift (two people per shift ideally a girl and a boy). Your job is simple. Bounce anyone you deem as sketchy or creepy and enforce Valentines Commons protocols (see the FAQ below). You have to make sure people showing up are on the list above, or are a "bring a friend" as discussed. You can decide on the spot if you want to let them in as your bring a friend.

 

Activities

Potluck dinner

Home cooked / potluck pink/white/red/black foods (if the chocolate or coffee is dark enough, it counts as black). Put your name down if you're in for dinner!

 

Discussions

At last year's party, the dinner discussions were a big hit. Some topics carried forward, and others new. Feel free to add:

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Valentines Commons protocols.

 

Can I attend?

If you put your name on the above list by 2008-02-13, you're in.

Otherwise, you must know (have met in person) at least four people on the above list of who's in, and you must know that at least one of them will make out with you (don't worry, we'll check at the door). And you must be old enough to vote. Duh.

 

What if I only know less than four people on the list?

Get one of them to bring you as a friend. Refer them to next FAQ:

 

Can I bring a friend?

Yes you can bring a friend, even a found friend you just met at the pillow fight thingie, but he or she must be someone you both would consider making out with, and would be ok with if he or she made out with other folks at the party (see games above).

 

These requirements are both to keep the numbers reasonable, and to keep the atmosphere comfortable. In other words if you wouldn't make out with the person, don't bring them - if they can't meet your quality bar, why would you expect them to meet anyone else's?. And if you want them for yourself (like you might be jealous if they made out with others), don't bring them - no proprietary friends, Valentines Commons encourages sharing.

 

And to be clear, bringing a friend means bringing a friend, not simply inviting a friend. You have to either accompany your friend, or already be at the party.

 

What is that symbol

The <8> symbol, generally referred to as the "infinite hearts of the Valentines Commons", is the symbol of the The Magnific Order of Valentines Commons (similar to the <o> symbol of the The Magnific Order of Rambaldi). The followers of the Valentines Commons, entrusted with safeguarding its principles, protocols, and procedures, may display the <8> mark on their hands (perhaps similar to how The Magnific Order of Rambaldi marked their hands).
