It’s Hip To Be Square

Like, we had the most excellent time of totally EVAR just now!

The Lampwick Continuüm got together all of our radical ‘tudes and bitchin’ ‘dos and we had a killer 80’s Par-tay. We watched a bunch of awesome music videos, and somebody brought a whole tray of these tubular sandwiches they called “wraps” like it’s oh so Hollywood, baby. There were wine coolers and Fuzzy Navels and everybody was totally stoked about the whole thing. A couple of the guys were rockin’ their Member Only jackets, and there was eyeliner and Aqua Net for days. We were gonna like, prank call this one dude’s house but like, he moved, so whatever… We read all these Top 10 lists of the Best and Worst movies and TV shows of the 80’s and argued about them instead.

Book Discussion and Sushi Outing

Today, The Lampwick Continuüm met at Brandolyn and Matthew’s house to discuss the book “Snowcrash” by Neal Stephenson, one of the seminal novels of the Cyberpunk genre.

Afterwards, members made a foray into the uncharted depths of Sakura, and it was universally condemned.

Floating Down Denial

It is alleged that members of The Lampwick Continuüm attended Area 504’s re-enactment of the Egyptian Festival of Drunkenness this weekend at Randolph and Leanne’s house. However, that cannot be corroborated at this time.

Hazy recollections of the event follow, as does a rare look at an ancient ritual: › Continue reading

Area 504 Crawfish Boil

The time has come again for the annual summer feast of “The New Orleans Area Society For The Preservation And Consumption Of Science Fiction And Alcoholic Beverages.” Many Lampwick members are also members of Area 504, and the feast is traditionally held at Jessica’s house.

Friends also honored Charlotte’s impending weight loss with a “Farewell To Your Uterus” celebration, presenting her with a tasteful wall hanging to commemorate the event.

The Lampwick book discussion (Fallen Angels by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle & Michael Flynn) was postponed to allow more members time to finish reading.
