 When is TDBPDE going to be celebrated?

Saturday, July 22nd, 2000 
at 4:00 p.m. 
until it is well and completely celebrated.
Where is TDBPDE going to be celebrated?

As the scriptures say "anywhere two people gather, and one of them is a drunken Utahn trying to explain 'the priesthood' to the other one." 


 






Locally, celebrations will be held at, and slightly behind, Chez Kropotkin.
How do I get to Chez Kropotkin?

 <Editor's Note:  While the exact location of Chez Kropitkin remains, as it should, a mystery - the scriptures do give us one clue.  "Whatever you do, don't take the exit to Pocatello.">
Who can I bring?

Who ever can appreciate the value of celebrating Utah's Zionist heritage.  Please, give us a head count before hand.
What should I bring?

Again, we are celebrating primarily with Jello. 
 (Participation is not mandatory, but you will be singled out for ridicule.)

Prizes will be given for: 

the most inspired; 
the most historic; 
the most devout, 
and what ever other categories suggest themselves. 
Prizes?  What could i win?

The big prize this year will be a rare olympic pin! 

past winners include "the angel Moroni w/goldpaint" and the infamous "kitty litter cake" 

Utah trivia may also be considered for prizes.
That's all just jello?

 TDBPDE is also a pot luck.  We will provide gumbo (one pot o' veggie, one o' sea things), some beer, and "sun tea," as it is a traditional beverage. 

We need volunteers for bread, alcohol, vegetables, lima beans, and anything else people might eat. 

Your Utah related conversation pieces are also welcome.


 






 
Do you have a plan for the activities?

Of course!  At 4:00, we will have arts and crafts.  Maybe guide everyone through a "family home evening" with board games!  (not bloody likely) And we will eat and watch one of our fine movies at about 6:00.  Jello will be judged at about 8:00.  The second movie will probably be shown at 10:00.  After that telling time will be too difficult.
Did you say movies?

At this point, our movie selections are the upstanding mormon musical, "Saturday's Warrior," and the nice and accurate movie about missionaries out of the valley, "Orgazmo."  Suggestions for the order will be taken.
What should I do if I over imbibe?

Spend the night! 

Chez Kropotkin has sleeping facilities for 6 indoors (more if they are friendly), and ample outside space.  Jason will be specifically enjoined not to lock people out again. 

Coffee will be made in the mornin' and somebody will get coaxed into walking down the street for a load of pao's doughnuts.
