Party Invite Goes Wrong - Very funny worth the read

Matthew
Apartment 3A
A few weeks ago, a guy moved into the apartment across from me. I
know little about him apart from the fact that he owns cane
furniture as I saw the delivery guys carry it up. I bumped into him
on the stairs once and he said hello but I cannot be friends with
someone that owns cane furniture so I pretended I had a turtle to
feed or something.
Last week when I checked my mailbox, I found that my new neighbor
had left me a note stating that he was having a party and to let him
know if the noise was too loud.
The problem I have with the note is not that he was having a party
and didn't invite me, it was that he selected a vibrant background
of balloons, effectively stating that his party was going to be
vibrant and possibly have balloons and that I couldn't come.
If I was writing a note to my neighbors saying that I was going to
have a party but none of them could come, I would not add photos of
ecstasy tablets, beer and gratuitous shots of Lucius women going
down on men to show them what they are missing out on, I would make
it clean and simple, possibly even sombre, so they didn't think 'you
prick'.

Dear Matthew,
Thankyou for the party invite. At first glance I thought it may be a
child's party what with it being vibrant and having balloons but I
realise you probably did your best with what little tools were
available. I wouldn't miss it for the world. What time would you
like me there?
Regards, David.

Hi David
Sorry the note was just to let you know that we might be a bit loud
that night. The house warming is really just for friends and family
but you can drop past for a beer sometime if you like.
Cheers Matthew

Thanks Matthew,
Including me in your list of friends and family means a lot. You and
I don't tend to have long discussions when we meet in the hallway
and I plan to put a stop to that. Next time we bump into each other
I intend to have a very long conversation with you and I am sure you
are looking forward to that as much as I am. I have told my friend
Ross that you are having a party and he is as excited as I am. Do
you want us to bring anything or will everything be provided?
Regards, David.

Hi David
As I said, my housewarming is just for friends and family. There is
not a lot of room so cant really have to many people come. Sorry
about that mate.
Cheers Matthew

Dear Matthew,
I can appreciate that, our apartments are not very large are they? I
myself like to go for a jog every night to keep fit but fear leaving
the house so I have to jog on the spot taking very small steps with
my arms straight down. I understand the problems of space
restrictions all too well. If you would like to store some of your
furniture at my place during the party you are quite welcome to - if
we move your cane furniture into my spare room for the night and
scatter cushions on the ground, that would provide a lot more
seating and create a cozy atmosphere at the same time. I have a
mirror ball that you can borrow. I have told Ross not to invite
anyone else due to the space constraints so it will just be us two
and my other friend Simon. When I told Simon that Ross and I were
going to a party he became quite angry that I had not invited him as
well so I really didn't have any choice as he can become quite
violent. Sometimes I am afraid to even be in the same room as him.
So just myself Ross and Simon. Simon's girlfriend has a work
function on that night but might come along after that if she can
get a lift with friends.
Regards, David.

Hi Matthew,
I understand it is an exclusive party and I appreciate you trusting
my judgement on who to bring. I just assumed you have cane
furniture, doesn't everybody? Cane is possibly one of the most
renewable natural resources we have after plastic, it is not only
strong but lightweight and attractive. Every item in my apartment is
made of cane, including my television. It looks like the one from
Gilligan's Island but is in colour of course. Do you remember that
episode where a robot came to the island? That was the best one in
my opinion. I always preferred Mary Anne to Ginger, same with
Flintstones - I found Betty much more attractive than Wilma but then
I am not really keen on redheads at all. They have freckles all over
their body did you know? It's the ones on their back and shoulders
that creep me out the most.
Anyway, Ross rang me today all excited about the party and asked me
what the theme is, I told him that I don't think there is a theme
and we discussed it and feel that it should be an eighties themed
party. I have a white suit and projector and am coming as Nik
Kershaw. I have made a looping tape of 'wouldn't it be good' to play
as I am sure you will agree that this song rocks and has stood the
test of time well. I am in the process of redesigning your invites
appropriately and will get a few hundred of them printed off later
today. I will have to ask you for the money for this as print
cartridges for my Epson are pretty expensive. They stopped making
this model a month after I bought it and I have to get the
cartridges sent from China. Around $120 should cover it. You can
just pop the money in my letter box if I don't see you before
tonight.
Regards, David.

Hello Matthew,
I agree that it is not very convenient and must admit that when I
first received your invitation I was perplexed that it was on a
Sunday night but who am I to judge. No, I am in apartment 3B. Our
bedroom walls are touching so when we are sleeping our heads are
only a few feet apart. If I put my ear to the wall I can hear you. I
also agree with you that having a particular theme for your party
may not be the best choice, it makes more sense to leave it open as
a generic fancy dress party, that way everyone can come dressed in
whatever they want. Once, I went to a party in a bear outfit which
worked out well as it was freezing and I was the only one warm. As
it won't be cold the night of your party, I have decided to come as
a Ninja. I think it would be really good if you dressed as a ninja
as well and we could perform a martial arts display for the other
guests. I have real swords and will bring them. If you need help
with your costume let me know, I have made mine by wrapping a black
t-shirt around my face with a hooded jacket and cut finger holes in
black socks for the gloves. I do not have any black pants so will
spray paint my legs on the night.
It is a little hard to breath in the costume so I will need you to
keep the window open during the party to provide good air
circulation. Actually, I just had a thought, how awesome would it be
if I arrived 'through' the window like a real ninja. We should
definitely do that. I just measured the distance between our
balconies and I should be able to jump it. I once leaped across a
creek that was over five metres wide and almost made it.
Also, you mentioned in your invitation that if there was anything I
needed, to let you know. My car is going in for a service next week
and I was wondering, seeing as we are good friends now, if it would
be ok to borrow yours on that day. I hate catching the bus as they
are full of poor people who don't own cars.
Regards, David.

WTF? No you cant borrow my car and there is no ****ing 3B. I reckon
you are that guy from Apartment 1. You are not coming to my house
warming and you are not bringing any of your friends. What the ****
is wrong with you??? The only people invited are friends and family
I told you that. It is just drinks there is no ****ing fancy dress
and only people i know are coming! I dont want to be rude but jesus
****ing christ man.

Hello Matthew,
I have been away since Thursday so have not been able to check my
email from home. Flying back late today in time for the party and
just wanted to say that we are really looking forward to it. Will
probably get there around eleven or twelve, just when it starts to
liven up. Simon's girlfriend Cathy's work function was cancelled so
she can make it afterall which is good news. She will probably have
a few friends with her so they will take the mini van. Also, I have
arranged a Piñata.
Can't wait, see you tonight.
Regards, David.
