If the answers to these and other questions are bothering you, mark March 31 on your calendar. That’s right, March 31 is the big ANSWER DAY. “Bismark,” “June 1,” “February 30,” “They both have IQs smaller than their chest sizes,” and “Who cares?” will be among the many answers given at The Paper Party. No, this rag doesn’t run off of free sweat alone.
There are bills to be paid and we need your support. Come to The Paper Party on March 31 for a good time and answers to important questions. It’s an April Fool’s Party and, in the logical tradition of the Paper, we’re holding it on March 31. Of course.
Now aren’t you sorry you asked..
The address is 6124 Kingsbury, the estate of the Stuarts; the time is 8:30 p.m. and the admission is simply $5 per person.
We promise a good time and lots of heartburn (due primarily to Katie Kurtz’s chili, but also to the April Fool’s contest to be held that night).
It will be a superb opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones, so whether you’re an old-timer or a new guy on the block, come join us at the April Fool’s Paper Party!
