notes to future guests

1. If invitation says party begins at 4, please do not arrive before 4:15 unless you are a good friend.
2. If invitation says party ends at 7, please do not stay after 7:05 unless you are helping me clean up.
3. As a guest, your job is to make conversation with people, even if they are in a different "group" than you.
4. When cleaning up a spill, please wait for me to bring paper towels rather than using the cute party napkins.
5. It's nice to bring your own wine. It's not nice to insist on drinking only that, and giving very specific instructions about precisely how much to chill it for maximum taste, and not sharing with others. Especially when it's just a bottle of "Two Buck Chuck."

overall, really fun though.
