Welcome Mike!

Your place looks awesome - it's like an episode Extreme Makeover! Becky (3425)

New to the block!

What's up everyone...I'm Mike (3436) the one making all the noise at the end of the block next to Ed! I spoke with Ed shortly yesterday and suggested pooling some $ together to buy beer and food. My uncle owns Cranky Joe's on Conrad and I can get beer and food through him at a discount (that was a cheap plug but why I'm at it I bar tend Tues, Thurs, and Saturday nights). I can also get two, maybe more, Baggo Boards and we can have a tournament for Osmond Street bragging rights!

Auto notifications of new blogs

I just figured out how to get notifications of new blogs

Go to Customize > Settings > E-mail > BlogSend
and type in your e-mail address.

Mailing off the application!

Today I'm mailing off the application with 6/19 as the party date and 6/21 as the rain date. Any objections?

hi everyone! eric and i cant wait for the block party. thanks for working so hard on it Ed!

Have 12 signatures so far

I went out last night and rounded up 12 signatures. We need 11 more to satisfy the City's requirement of 75% of the resident's approval. I hope to get some tonight.

Some people won't be around on 6/19 so the possibility of moving the date still exists.

Looking to go out tonight and get signatures

Heading out tonight, Thu 5/20, to get signatures on the petition. Anyone care to join?

Chat it up with the neighbors

If you see one of our neighbors on the street, ask them to respond to my flyer soon and introduce them to this blog...hmmm, maybe another flyer to point people to the blog...stir up some excitement.

Another response

Andrew, Shannon, Asa, and their grill (3426) will be at the party.

wish I were there! : (

Hi guys - this is Becky (Osmond Becky, not Barkley Becky). Thanks for the blog invite!

I guess you've heard that I have a wedding to attend the day of the block party and won't be here
I'm so bummed, but c'est la vie. I know how hard it is to pick a date that's good for everyone and that things are already in the works so a date change is probably out of the question, but if comes up again for some reason, keep me in mind!

In the meantime, hope to get together with you another time soon...

Flyer responses

Mary Ann of 3412 and Jamie of 3414 have responded to my flyer and will sign our petition/application to block the street.

Music

Ok I'm trying to learn how to blog here so bear with me. As far as music is concerned, I personally don't like to have to shout to talk to people and strain to hear them. I've been to outdoor parties where someone pulls out a pair of house speakers and cranks up the volume to 11. Personally, I'd like to keep the level down for our shindig...just putting it out there. Feel free to comment.

How about we each pick a few of our favorite songs and pile them together into a mix for the party?

Yay!

Creek and I can't wait for the block party!

block party anyone?
