Malex Minute Third Year Kickoff Party!
Hey everybody! I'm pleased to announce that, in celebration of the Malex Minute's second birthday, we're throwing a massive Third Year Kickoff party, and you're invited!
UPDATE! Be sure to print out copies of the PDF flier and pass them out to all your friends!
When:
Saturday, March 1st, 2008
5PM-8PM Eastern Time
Mark your calendars now!
Where:
Smoothie Brews
7256 Hazelton-Etna Road
Pataskala, Ohio 43062
Located between Main and Broad on Route 310.
Questions/RSVP:
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions. And while it's not really necessary, emailing me and telling me that you're planning on coming will help me get a rough idea of how many people to expect.
Who should come:
EVERYONE! If you like the Malex Minute, you need to come, and you need to bring all of your friends. (This is a party for all ages, and families are explicitly encouraged to come.) If you like the Malex Minute, you'll have a great time. 
What's in it for me?
There will be free CDs and stickers, games, music, Snuffy's birthday cake, free pizza (while supplies last), and discounts on various smoothies and coffees. Also, see below for something so special it deserves its own paragraph! If you're not there to see it, you will kick yourself forever.
UPDATED! See below...
Now, for the REALLY BIG news: We're going to be recording a Malex Minute episode live at the party! That's right, Malex Minute 105 will be performed by myself, Quartz, and Fopsworth right there at the party. The live recording will then be uploaded on March 7th as Malex Minute 105. This is a completely unprecedented occurrence and it may never be repeated, so be SURE to be there!
I have now created a PDF flier! This should be suitable for printing out, passing out, giving to parents, etc.
More updates as they happen.
Stay tuned!

) in

It sounds like a good time to me, and even though I can kick myself, I'd rather not!!
I'll have to ask and get a ride but I will mostlikely be there! 
---------------
If You wake up tired, you might need more sleep.
If you wake up drooling on your desk, you might need a new job. If you wake up with a headache, on a farris wheel, at the Idaho State Fair, wearing a toga, you might need answes!

Great!
It's going to be lots of fun. Bring friends too! And family! And strangers! (Better yet, leave that one on the street where he goes...)

I do believe so...
I still need to work out the exact details of the discounts with the Smoothie Brews Crew, but I'm confident that good deals will be had by all.

I LOVE parties and I get to help prepare this one, so you all had better expect an amazing time! *puts on apron* KITCHEN HERE I COME!!!!

Waddya hear? Waddya say?
"You do realize," said Zanna, "that you're stroking a milk carton."
"You're just jealous," said Deeba.
-China Miéville's Un Lun Dun-
Ohh!!!
I wanna do something in the Kitchen too!!!!
*runs in circles*
*runs to the kitchen*
*runs out of the house 2 min later right before it collapses*
*is on fire*
--------------
Someday you'll remember I was HERE.
*armed with fire extinguisher*
I sure hope you mean that the house is on fire not you. Either way I'll work my fire extinguisher magic.

Lessons from Malex
Be careful, Vox. You don't want to be the kind of kitchen helper Malex is. Not without a fire extinguisher on hand. Close. On your hip, for instance!

Ahhh
Ok...
and I'm pretty sure that it's me on fire...
*glances around*
--------------
Someday you'll remember I was HERE.
yay!!!!!!!^_^
I will be there unless dress rehersal is that day but it should be done by then. And I can honestly say that I have never needed an extinguisher in the kitchen!
---------------
If You wake up tired, you might need more sleep.
If you wake up drooling on your desk, you might need a new job. If you wake up with a headache, on a farris wheel, at the Idaho State Fair, wearing a toga, you might need answers!
Random guy- "Its not lip balm, its man-stick!"
I almost did.
Let's just say no one ended up eating that particular batch of cookies.

-China Miéville's Un Lun Dun-
oh my
like the Peanut Butter Sludge
By the way, Lilly burned her soup yesterday. I didn't know that was possible although one of my friends claimed that she burned soup once. It was M(of M&C
)'s friend Misuta - she has problems which primarily involve fire, and ... well ... anything in fact (apparantly she has the skill to set ANYTHING on fire)
I'm planning on inviting them and some of their friends - they all love the Minute
(sometimes creepily so 
)
---------------
Moo.
... what you expected something deep and intellectual? What universe are you from?!
Malex: Yes. My ankles are cozy
- Malex Minute 197
hmm
I was home alone making noodles (i think) because my mom went to go to the store for some ingredient. While she was gone i managed to burn plastic which proceeded to catch on fire and singe the mini-wheats that were inside O_<
--------------
Someday you'll remember I was HERE.
all I can say is
Woot. The Slushy approves.
---------------
Slushy's words of wisdom:
If you are walking along minding your own business and you suddenly find that a grand piano has fallen from the sky within inches of crushing you, remember, DO NOT LOok it in THe eyezz!
ahem
...of the party, not Vox's playing with fire

Defending Vox
She wasn't intentionally playing with fire... I don't think.

Cooking feats
I burned mashed potatoes once, still not sure how i did it but i did. And no one likes my macroni and cheese.

Yay!
Yes, I think this party will be amazing...
Everyone should come!

Gaussian Blur fixes everything.
Old Mother Hubbard sat in her cupboard,
Drowning her sorrows in hay.
Along came a spider who sat down to chide her,
But he could think of nothing to say.
cooking feats
please don't cook feats...they smells bad when you cooks them...
now about this 'unveiling'...the gnome will remain veiled at all times! If the dance of the seven veils is done, the gnome will be wearing eight!
This does sound like fun, the gnome is clearing the calendar and will make every attempt to be present.
What God doesn't protect you from He will perfect you through.
Name a shrub after me...something prickly and hard to eradicate.
haha -.- puns
I'm not that bad a cook.
Maybe i should stop talking about my cooking or nobodys ever gonna marry me (

"Have you seen how much cotton candy he can eat?"

Dutifully thanks
Thanks for that translation, Ais. Somebody's gotta do it.
I invited Lefemmegeek & her kids. (Maybe if they see this reference to themselves they'll come!)

Invites
I sent out an invite to some of my friends from Church, people from me and Lilly's school (duh
), and also both M&C and a few of their friends who love the Minute with a level of devotion that even I find a tad creepy 
( 
jk 
)
Also, a few other people who are a surprise (sorta ... if Lilly's kept quiet
[jk, again 
])
---------------
Moo.
... what you expected something deep and intellectual? What universe are you from?!
Malex: Yes. My ankles are cozy
- Malex Minute 197
um ... question?
What's the legal limit for the place we're going. Cause if it's some tiny little cafe or something, we may have to go mosh in the parking lot
(and that wouldn't be safe for ANYONE 
- 
)
---------------
Moo.
... what you expected something deep and intellectual? What universe are you from?!
Malex: Yes. My ankles are cozy
- Malex Minute 197
Limit
The maximum safe capacity of the unit is 88 people. I don't think we're going to hit that, so it's safe to invite as many people as you can get your hands on.
Of course, when inviting, use the PDF flier for maximum effect!
(Btw, we'll be handing out door prize tickets to everyone who walks in, so we'll have a very good idea of how many people are in the building. We won't exceed the maximum capacity.)

Lilly invited me and then Malex did! I feel specials
And Mariel, you are the only one on here who saw me "mosh" at homecoming with a group of four people, I really mosh at Icthus!!! Please tell me I'm not the only one who has ever been there...

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
Moshing?
No one is moshing anywhere. Not at this party. Someone might get hurt.

ICHTHUS!!!!!!!!!!
This is a Christian music festival over the course of three days where you camp, listen to many different bands and anything from light worship to "Heavenly" Metal!!! And there are speakers and merchandise tents and all kinds of awesome stuff!!!!!!!

Festivals
Yeah, it's kind of like Sunfest at King's Island and the Alive festival, which happens for a whole week every summer...I've never been to one of these Christian music festivals before, but I know lots of people who have, and it sounds really awesome. I know one girl who got saved at Alive several years ago. The nice thing is, it's cheap, and you get to see TONS of bands.

Icthus
Pretty much an entire weekend of mosh-pits, gas masks, head-banging, and air guitar!
But... Snuffy's birthday... Yeah, i'll go with snuffy.

aahhhhh!!! *moshes*
That's amazing! I'm not sure which is better though since I've never been to either Alivefest or Icthus. But I wanna do one or the other this year(probably cant go to both).
Who's with meh?! *still moshing*

WOOOOT!!!!
THAT PARTY WAS FUN!!! Wow, it was so cool to see everybody. The music was fabulous, especially the new Malex Minute theme song, which is the second coolest song ever written, in my humble opinion. There was pizza, the cake was delicious, the smoothies and coffee were top-notch.
The recording of the Malex Minute in front of a live audience went so well! It was weird watching these guys voice my favorite characters. But very, very exciting! A tremendous time was had by all!!
Hey, maybe we can start meeting there, at Smoothie Brews, for game nights of our own, since the library keeps karaoking.
Thanks, everyone for coming and sharing the fun!! YAY!!!
