For all our younger fans out there, or those with children, Spring Break is fast approaching.  And with that we here at The Party FAQ have a few suggestions on much needed items to help you make the most out of your fun:

First up are our Light Up Flip Flops, these things are awesome.  Wear them at night and every time you step you create a magical light show.  Or better yet if you’re an enterprising person buy a whole ton of them and sell them on the beach, and make a killing!

Next are our BRAND NEW Lighted glitter balls.  These things are HOT! shake the ball and you’ll see the glitter spin around.  Bounce the ball and you’ll get the glitter and BRIGHT LED’s illuminating not only the ball but off the glitter also.  This feeble description doesn’t do it justice, they are extremely neat and addicting.  So much so in fact that we’ll be creating a new youtube video on them.

Last but not least are our LED luminarias.  Create a lighted path to your beach home or hotel with these great items.  If you’re an arts and crafts family then you can decorate them as well!

All these items and more are available online at Windy City Novelties, Inc.

Just wrote a blog entry regarding the social rules to drinking, see it at: http://tinyurl.com/cnzc36

Okay so maybe it didn’t turn out so well for J.C. (Julius Caesar) back in 44 BCE, but before that it was actually a pagan holiday marking the middle of a month.  The fifteenth of March but most comonly the thirteenth of the month.

So instead of following William Shakespeare’s take on the day go out and celebrate!  Raise a pint and enjoy!

is thinking about the cost of LED bulbs to replace our T12’s, not there yet.

Rules to Drinking, a guide on the social expectancies when drinking with friends:

1. Clean yourself up and look nice, no one wants to go out with someone who hasn’t shaved or run a brush through their hair (or mouth for that matter).
2. Drink plenty of water before going out, dehydrating yourself with Alcohol will only get you into trouble later.
3. Eat something before going out, this will save you money from food at a restaurant and can help keep you from getting sick from your drinks.
4. Be lively and fun, but not rude, you’re going out to meet up with people.  You don’t want to annoy them as soon as you see them.
5. Remember the adage:  Liquor before Beer you’re in the clear, Beer before Liquor you’ve never been sicker…
6. Don’t refuse a free drink from a friend, but make sure to buy rounds also
   1. BUT politely refuse a drink from a stranger, especially if you didn’t see it pored.   No reason to make some poor guy / girl buy you a drink when you’re not into them at all.  Plus it can be dangerous if you don’t know whats in it.
7. Don’t overdo the drinking… Contrary to public belief there is more where that came from so don’t feel the need to drink it all at once.
8. Take breaks and alternate to non-alcoholic drinks (remember rule #2, water is key)
9. Drinking games can be fun, but they can also make you go way past your limit.
10. Know your limit and stop before you go to far.
11. Goggles are for swimming, stop before you can’t see straight or when you judgment gets clouded.
    1. A good way to tell if your judgment is off picture your grandmother / grandfather if they look attractive to you in any way then you’re way past the point of making sense.
12. Always leave when your friends do, if they think its late enough to leave then it is.
    1. Friends you just met tonight don’t count, NEVER leave with someone you just met at a bar.  Get their number and meet up some other time (see rule #11 on judgment)
13. If you spill a drink while bringing it to your lips, its time to put it down and go home.
14. Always finish the night with plenty of water, this is the number one thing that will stave off hangovers.

A lot of people always sit and wonder who invented this drink of drinks that we call Beer!  While its been around in one form or another (usually in the form of mead) for thousands of years the modern drink’s creation can best be described by this song:

A long time ago, way back in history,
when all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
and he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he’s filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Curtis bar, the James’ Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well
one thing you can be sure of, its Charlie’s beer they sell
so all ye lads a lasses at eleven O’clock ye stop
for five short seconds, remember Charlie Mops 1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he’s filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
the kind of lubrication to make your engine tick.
40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.
Its only eight pence hapenny and one and six in tax, 1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he’s filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Lord bless Charlie Mops

So, you want to look like a Leprechaun?

So you grew a beard.  Big deal,  so did my sister!

Say you’re wearing shamrock green?  Not like its that hard to get colored outfits…

Followed every detail of the Little Mascot from the lovable breakfast cereal “Lucky Charms” to make sure you were authentic, did you?  Hmm getting a bit warmer…

But if you really want to look like an authentic Leprechaun for this year’s St. Patricks Day then you have got to have Green Glowing Hair Gel!  As anyone knows the Leprechaun is only special if its glowing, otherwise its just a wee little person in costume.
