Big party at the cave. Went quite well, and even some egg people¹ showed up. Good time, but we had waaaaaay too much booze, especially beer. The cave was nice and cool for a while until about 80-100 people were there, and then the party moved to the roof shortly thereafter. The retroscope² was going as well.

¹ A dozen eggs were obtained and the URL of the party (www.assbarn.com/party) were written on them. Then these eggs were swapped for eggs in cartons of grocery and convenience stores throughout Boston, Cambridge, and Brookline. From the server logs, we estimate that about 6 of the recipients hit the page.

² The “retroscope” is a camcorder connected to the TiVo and set on some delay, usually a minute or five minutes. Sound off. What ends up happening is that people do wild and crazy things for the camera, and then sit around to see themselves on the TV. Then they see themselves sitting around and waiting. There are so many silly gestures that just go unnoticed in the moment; a casual, sly ass scratching is a glaring and hilarious point of embarassment for the guilty. It causes certain people’s brains to melt.
