so, i subscribe to a lot of coupon websites. one of the downsides of this is that i end up getting a lot of emails from “partner websites” of the sites i actually do subscribe to. flashback about 3 weeks ago. i get an email from some new website called “house party“. basically, they’re offering the opportunity to throw a party to promote a participating product, and in return get free stuff. at least, enough free product to throw a party for 10 people. and possibly some party hats.
for some reason, this seemed appealing to me at the time (drunk?). plus, i figured that i’m no middle american housewife, what would they want with me? big mistake. i applied for the arnold sandwich thins “sandwich revolution” house party, and i got an email today confirming my worst fears. i’m in.
now i have to host some sort of sandwich party for no fewer than 10 guests, or the sandwich thins people will bring shame on my family (and will also perhaps come to my house and beat me with a pillowcase full of doorknobs). fuck. me. how the hell am i going to find 10 people who want to come eat some crappy sandwiches at my house on a saturday night?
my strategy- free booze and inviting everyone i know. if you’re in the portland area- seriously, you’re invited. february 27th. 8 pm.

You seem a bit panic stricken. (understatement?) I have never participated in these either but submitted for the DiGiorno Pizza Party. No reply though. I’m feeling pretty safe that they didn’t choose me. Good Luck!
That’s my dad’s birthday!
so you’ll be in town? and you want to come over and eat sandwiches?
I might be in town but not sure yet. I will be in town this weekend though… Maybe we could get a drink Saturday night?
Also, I have tried the sandwich thins…
…Have you?
i have never so much as laid my eyeballs on a sandwich thin. are they gross? i keep accidentally typing in “sandwich things”. but yes! drinks on saturday!! xo.
I’m not a fan of the sandwich thins myself… I’m sticking with burrito wraps.
I haven’t gotten drinks in Portland in FOREVER. I’m so excited to see you! I’ll e-mail you my numbers.
yay! snug?
You. crack. me. up. Srsly. If I were in Portland, I’d be there in a heartbeat.
thanks! if you feel a sudden urge to take a spur of the moment road trip- let me know!
I got accepted to, but was hoping they were chipping in a little more than just some weak coupons, four bread freebies, and flyers for healthy eating. Was gonna do a lunch playgroup, but Im not sure anymore.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! does this mean that we can just take the coupons and run? exactly what happens if we don’t do it? should i be protecting my kneecaps? seriously, nobody is coming to this shit.
A pillowcase full of doorknobs… haha it’s shit like that that makes this the first blog I read every day. I would SOOO come to your sandwich party if I didn’t live like 4 states away.
thanks! maybe i should start threatening people with a pillowcase full of doorknobs if they won’t come. stupid lack of teleportation technology- i wish you could come too!
i’ll come, but only if i can wear a billiard ball bedazzled jumper! (kidding! – who can resist the call to come taunt new commercialized food items? of course i’ll be there!)
show up in a g-string and a paper bag for all i care, just show up and eat my crappy sandwiches!
Invite college students. No college student will ever turn down free food & booze. Ever.
i’m 32! i don’t know any college students anymore! wow. i feel so old right now.
[…] least my sandwich party is guaranteed to be less lame than this house […]
So, how did the sandwich party go? I’m dying to hear! 🙂
sorry! still convalescing from the insanity. i’m on it! 🙂
