Silmaril But what will I wear?

A dinner party, eh? Having never actually hosted a dinner party (being rather more partial to small, informal get-togethers involving pizza, green tea, fritos, and low-powered explosives), I am afraid that I am rather unpracticed at the hosting of such events.

However, my guest list would include, for this particular party, writers.

Seated at the head of the table, would be myself, of course. As for the rest of the table, I have no idea what places I would seat each person at, but I would invite: Bethberry, littlemanpoet, Aman, Encaitare, Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins, and Keeper of Dol Guldur (the 'Downer, not Khamul (I think Khamul would be a rather uncomfortable dinner guest)).

Bethberry and littlemanpoet are on the guest list because of Eodwine, Falco, and Bethberry's interesting reaction to Saeryn.

Aman, for our verbally crossed swords in The Gauntlet Tavern; through PMs, once The Barrow-Wight nixed the thread.

Encai has a place of honor, because some of her poetry (see her blog) inspired a really cool drawing. Also because she helped thrust me in the direction of The White Horse Inn during a rather educational chat one evening.

Bilbo and Frodo, because without their excellent recording skills, where would we all be? Probably doing something far more productive than this.

And the artist formerly known as Keeper of Dol Goldur gets a seat for a few reasons. The most important being that he's quite a decent writer. The others being slightly less crucial to the idea of the party: he is my brother and therefore it would be easy to get him to this party, and he is a good cook, and he therefore would be (currently unknown by himself) The Cook.

The meal would include no seafood whatsoever, the hostess being generally prejudiced against it in all forms. There would, however, be mushrooms, tomatos, and food that seems rather hobbitish in nature to me. This would cater to our distinguished halfling guests, as well as my own tastebuds. Edit: Chef Keeper insists on po-ta-toes. With a seperate accent for each syllable, and they shall be boiled, mashed, stuck in a stew, or whatever else he fancies to do with them.

Drinks, I am not particularly sorry to say, will be entirely non-alcoholic, but I can provide you with any number of teas, juices, or strange mixtures that you may not actually desire to drink. I plan to drink iced green tea with a squeeze of lime. Keeper shall be given vanilla cream soda, and I regret to inform my hobbit guests that they will be reduced to hot cider.
