My current world is about to end and a new one is about to begin.  I'm giving up my apartment, putting all my possessions in a public storage locker, and traveling the world for three months.  The people, things, and places I know will all be gone for quite a while.  I will come back a different person, as will all of you.  (A friend of mine once described the evolving tapestry of a group of friends as a kaleidoscope -- if you watch it continuously as you turn it, you see every change smoothly, but if you look away for a while and look back, it's suddenly a different pattern.)

It would be fun to see you all one last time.  Thus I'm having the End Times party.  It's about the Rapture, the Apocalypse, The Singularity, or any of those other hypothetical world-shattering paradigm shifts.  Costumes and props are always welcome.  Here's a helpful guide to such events our friendly Christian evangelical brethren put together:  http://www.raptureme.com/ .

Have fun, come early, come late, sleep over, lounge about in the hot tub.  Earlier period will likely be more family-friendly.

Last weekend I had about 10 people over to try out the flavor tripping tablets that remap your taste buds so that sour things taste sweet, alcohol tastes milder, and bitter things taste weird. 

We tried at least 40 different foods and drinks.  I had the guests rate each edible item based on how much of a change there was from before to after taking the tablet.  It was really well organized but still lots of fun.

I'm doing another flavor tripping event this Saturday night.  Please let me know if you'd like to come but have not already done so via Evite.

If you're coming this week, here's what I'd love you to bring:
- As many different kinds of vinegar as possible.
- Unusual sour fruit.
- Coffee. 
Please comment if you can bring any of these items.
