The true mark of any good party guest is giving constructive feedback to the host, which
will help said host improve the "party experience" for future attendees. Here is my humble
critique of the 2009 party. If every attendee gives feedback, in just a few short years this
will be the best party ever!

Highs:
The snacks were excellent! Perfectly salted pretzels and mixed nuts displayed beautifully in
round tuperware containers. The chips were sublime, both the traditional variety and the
tortilla based assortment. Plenty of standing room and a nice selection of seating options.
The communal commode with working Moai fountain in the middle was delightful, although slightly
awkward for females. The lilac scented potpourri provided a luxurious and exotic aroma!

Lows:
Unintended pregnancies directly resulting from party = 0. Steamy bathroom trysts = 4. The median
is 9, unsure why the large decline, perhaps Voodoo punch cut with Gatorade because of current
economy? Very few vantage points from which one can inconspicuously inspect cleavage. Stood by
front door to collect $5 cover, only made $82, barely covered babysitter, dinner and gas.
Only three tiki mugs as door prizes!?! This created resentment amongst the Portland faction.
Attempts to appease them with shots of Jagermeister proved mostly successful.

Conclusion:
Monkeyskull providing free food and beverage to anyone who visits the Voodoo lounge once a
year is a noble endeavor. Clearly though, the Female faction is highly underrepresented and
should be remedied by any means necessary (craigslist, lust lab, Dancing Bear, Aurora Ave).
Until this is rectified, my attendance cannot be guaranteed. Perhaps a party planning
committee is in order??
