Mad Science Fair

Saturday, October 28, 2000

Held at Omino. One of my all-time favorite parties.

From the invite:
"On The Use Of Fictionalized Pragma To Induce Levity"

Anne Church, David Van Brink -- Aleph Zwei Research Committee

ABSTRACT

A party is to be held. Times and dates are postulated, with intent for later, reader verification. A conceptual framework is developed which is expected to guide and promote a sense of "fun" or "confusion". Various ersatz scientific themes are utilized in place of their authentic counterparts; this is justified in terms of time saved (with respect to actual research or correlation of data) and a greater compatibility with alternative research methods (i.e. loud music, and mixed "intoxicating" beverages).

You know the Mad Science flowed freely when the services of an electrician are deemed necessary to restore power to the venue afterwards. The story as related by Poly:

blah blah blah
