Because it is Eurovision

[xp_bevatron]

To all at the mansion, you are cordially invited to celebrate one of the two annual parties that my cousin and I host involving possibly irresponsible amounts of alcohol and food, a live commentary thread on the journals, and the heights of European ridiculousness.

(the other one, of course, is the national costume portion of the Miss Universe pageant)

Tomorrow is the Grand Final of Eurovision. If this is your first year attending, please understand that the answer to all questions you might have is "because it is Eurovision".

For example: why is every instrument covered in rhinestones? Because it is Eurovision.

It will be an entertaining, though not always comprehensible, time.

I HAVE A NEW OUTFIT

[xp_tarot]

If you did not I would wonder if you had been replaced by ... ah, the horrible option generator today says "a swarm of eclairs"

[xp_blink]

I would like to eat a swarm of eclairs. you know a place that has them this late at night?

[xp_tarot]

What are time zones to a woman who can be in Paris by thinking about it?

[xp_blink]

it's just after 4am in Paris though. I gotta wait AT LEAST 3 more hours. TORTURE.

[xp_tarot]

I will text you two address in New Orleans, and one in Montreal, one of them should still be open. Let me know and I will venmo you money for eclairs.

I SHALL BUY A SWARM!

....though brunch in Paris on the Seine would be lovely this time of year. Hmmm. Do I have a brunch dress ironed?

[xp_darcy]

This means I get to wear something comfortable but ridiculously over-the-top otherwise, correct? I'm in.

[xp_sylocke]

Only if it's covered in sequins.

[xp_tarot]

I already know the answer to this, but why are there green screen booty short dancers.

[xp_banshee]

Because Eurovision.

[xp_tarot]

The question is of Gabriel, my cousin, Quentin and Clarice, who is going to be the first to be caught out dancing to this in their undershorts in the kitchen at 3am.

[xp_banshee]

I'm afraid I don't know any of them well enough to make an educated bet, so I'll go with a completely random guess and say Quentin.

[xp_echo]

I feel like that’s a trick question. They could just form their own back up dancing band

[xp_banshee]

Excellent. Anything you lot want so far as baked things are concerned? If I'm attending, I'm bringing food.

[xp_tarot]

Cake is always acceptable

[xp_banshee]

Cake it is, then.

[xp_echo]

Are we talking the legal kind of baked good?

[xp_banshee]

Absolutely. I've plans for it. Namely, protesting plans.
