Ladies and Gentlemen of the wizarding world, we implore you to join us at 10 until whenever tonight for an evening of celebration and a lack of discrimination! With the powers invested in me, we've booked the Leaky Cauldron out for a night of fun and partying at a place that still serves everyone! (Or, at least, it does on nights when it hasn't been bought out for parties.) It's my buddy James Potter's birthday, and even if you don't know who he is, we encourage you to come out and have some laughs and shoot the shit with us at the Leaky. Yes, the Leaky Cauldron, where Tom continues to serve muggleborn and pureblood alike 7 days a week!

Costumes/masks/dressing up is highly encouraged, but forewarning that security will be tight, and I will be keeping a log of who comes in, who is wearing what (for the costume contest!), and no outside food or beverage will be allowed or tolerated ~~for anyone who thinks they're going to be breezing in using polyjuice, thank you very much~~. Bring your friends, but we WILL be doing checks at the door, so please do not be offended by any delays. We just want to be sure that this is both a fun and SAFE night for everyone.

Can't come out and party with us this week? That's alright. We're working with other establishments that'll allow everybody in to host big bashes like this, because unlike some people, we are equal-opportunity when it comes to spending our money, as long as they agree to let all our friends in. Mr. Aberforth Dumbledore, we are potentially considering the Hog's Head for our next Equality Bash, if you would be open to discussing such a thing?

Hope to see you all there!

	You may certainly count me in on such an event. Equality bash, it sounds charming! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It'll be good to see you there! I wish we could even get you to write up an article or sommat about it, but they probably won't let you print that sort of thing. Maybe this is better anyway. You can't ward people out of newspapers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whomever writes Liaisons in London certainly gets by with some interesting things, doesn't she? It's too bad we can't couch it in those terms! You know, Miss McKinnon, I just got an interesting idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're going to make out with people at the party and write about it in the Prophet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ms. Pinkstone. nosecrets 2009-03-29 02:37 pm UTC (link)
	Oh no! Although that could certainly be entertaining. I have a more interesting idea. The logistics might be rather difficult, but I think it would be worth pursuing. After all, I think Miss Liaisons in London is not the only person who can write articles anonymously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, I think that's probably a better idea, to be honest.

Even if you don't end up just writing about the parties in general (because to be honest, originally the intent behind this was just to throw James a cool birthday party that his wife could come to), maybe you could cover that boycott thing that's been going on under a penname, because that's where we got the idea for making the party a lot bigger.

	Well, I was actually thinking more along the lines that if Miss Liaisons in London can publish anonymously, perhaps she is not the only one. The problem would be of course finding a way to get the anonymous articles published as I am certain no legitimate publication is likely to want to take them on. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As much as I love a good party, I think it would be better off if my very heartfelt congratulations on one more year in James's life were sent from afar. I hope it goes well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I wish you could come, dude. We've got some awesome animal masks for people who don't want to chance getting seen with the rest of us when they have no reason really to be there, but that might not be enough. I'll let him know, though, definitely. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Marlene. rhapsoduke 2009-03-29 02:39 am UTC (link)
	I don't think there's anything that could keep me away. I'll have James a gift, though I haven't really talked to him since school so suggestions are more than welcome. This is a really good idea. (Reply to this) (Thread)

James is really easy to please, presents-wise, I think. Get him something Quidditchy and he'll probably be happy as a clam.

Thanks! I want people to actually be able to go out and have fun and not worry about stuff for just a night, so I hope that like...extensive warding and security and such will help this also stay safe because I am sick of feeling all trapped and crap in my house.

As much as I would very much like a night to relax, I don't think it would be very safe for any of us for me to be there. But do pass on my best wishes to Mr Potter and I think this is a wonderful idea. Stay safe, all of you.

It also occurs to me that I never thanked you and your friends for allowing me to attend Dorcas' memorial. I certainly did appreciate it so thank you.

Aw, sorry to hear that, but definitely understood. That's why we wanted to make costumes an option, so that people who didn't think they should come for safety reasons would still be able to. But we will try our best. We have awesome security.

And you are absolutely welcome. Almost any friend of Dorcas's is a friend of ours, and I'm sure she would've wanted you to be there.

	I certainly would be. The Hog's Head has always been open to all who wanted to come in. Don't see any reason to stop now. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Abe. on_the_wall 2009-03-29 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	Awesome. I figured that would be the case, but I still thought it would be polite to check, (and hopefully having that bit public will give people the heads up of "oh yeah, let's go stop by Abe's place instead of those buttheads' restaurant who won't let my mum eat there."

	Darn straight I will. I haven't had firewhiskey in a while; I've missed it. And I'll do that. This one was really last minute. (Reply to this) (Parent)
