Our Open House will be April 26th, 2pm to whenever. That’s one Saturday after Baltimore Pirate Invasion. We have decided to start a new annual party tradition, and throw a Funny Hat Party every April for April Fool’s Day. Because we are only just now moving in, we are delaying this year’s party until the end of April to give us enough time to get the house ready.

As mentioned, the theme is “Funny Hats”. No hat, no entry. We like to have to figure out the joke, so be creative. By hat, we mean, “some sort of thing that you wear on your head”.

This year’s party will feature cider on tap, a small selection of liquors for cocktails, as well as soda and water for the kidlets and recovering alcoholics (so not kidding!). Beer will be BYOB, and we’d appreciate if you’d take your leftovers back home with you!

From 2pm to 7pm, the party will be kid-friendly. At 7pm, we let the rogues & scoundrels out (let the drunken debauchery begin!). If you are of the aforementioned Rogue & Scoundrel set, please make sure that your hat is “48 inches tall” / PG if you’re going to be there before 7 (you’re perfectly welcome to have two hats, though).

Your presence (not your presents) is all that we require. We will have munchies, but will welcome buffet contributions. Please DO NOT bring a ‘housewarming’ gift as we have effectively combined two complete households, and thusly have all the stuff we could possibly need.

By now, you may be thinking, “That’s great, but where the heck is the party?” Since this is a public post on a public blog, you’ll need to ask me for it if you don’t already know what it is (a hint: it is the same address as it has been for the past 4-5 years). You can ask by posting a comment on this post or by sending email to jacqueline at cordelya dot net.
