Seven Day Snow Party
A Different Snow Party For Everyday
A work of Toshusai Sharaku The Sapporo Snow & Ice Festival is magnificent, and an event not to be missed. In Japanese it is called the Sapporo Yuki Matsuri. It is one of the largest winter events in Japan and is an absolute gem.Our big excuse is the week-long Sapporo Snow Festival. Sapporo Yuki-matsuri, as we say on Mount Fujiama is one of the largest winter events in Japan. The main attraction are enormous snow statues on display in Odori Park in central Sapporo.
Most of these xcuses2party days and nights require going out in the snow, which requires warm clothes and liquid preparation, like...
Drinks: Sapporo Beer chilled in snowdrifts. For a warm feeling in your tum-tum or a hot flash south of there, try some of our Snow Drinks like the sneaky evil Snowsnake, Irish Coffee, Flamer, Hot Apple Applecider, Hot Tiddy. Or anything with Brandy including Brandy with Brandy. Or Sake, but not all in the same evening.
PartyMixPlayList: something rockin or romantic from our Snowbound By The Fire Jukebox.
Grub: Sushi and Sashemi if you're feeling Japanese. Snow-grilled barbeque if your feeling like your pants-thermometer is frozen.
Everyday Is An Official Snowday
Take Off From Work, School or Your Halfway House
Every day do something different. Skate. Cross Country Ski. Snowboard. Sled. Chill beers in the snow and feel like a fcking Mountain Man. Make snow angels. Make snowmen. Make your neighbor's recently legal daughter underneath a snowy pine tree.

Snowman Erection Party
Plans not included
SingAlong: As you proceed with getting up your erection, you might want to sing Jeff Foxworthy's poetic masterpiece "Who Put The Dick On The Snowman?"
Food: Snowman Erection Salad Bar consisting of carrots and cucumbers, zuchinie, and pickels and well you get the idea
Rule #1: No going inside until the little head is on the snowman.
Warning: Constructing a snow woman (as shown on rollover) is an option, but naming it after one of your female companions will probably result in you being iced out of any warm fun and games you may have been contemplating for later.


Snow Angels Party
Does not necessarily require snow, but it helps. Angels, however are a necessity for this party.
Rule #1: Raise temperatures of angel-makers with appropriate libations
Warning: Getting clothing wet can be a bad thing that causes viruses, colds, and shinblaines. Angel-makers should remove unnessary clothing before beginning. Those who don't remove clothes before should be convinced to remove wet clothing after. Even a damp blouse can cause serious problems.
Sing Along: Angels Who Want To Get High

Shirts vs. Skins Snowball Fight
Pre-Party Of A Lifetime
Okay, probably not, but if you do pull it off and the right team is Skins, send us some pix and we'll put em up on the xcuse2party website.
Food: Potato Skins?

Snowball Ball
The Snowball Ball can be held anywhere wearing anything.
Decor: Ice Sculptures
Dress: How about semi-formal, meaning real shoes?
Music: Snow songs from our Fire Up Jukebox?

Tuesday Downhill
On Skis, Snowboards, and Barstools
To start, someone in your krewe should try to honorably injure themselves on the first run of the day, so you guys can claim the best table in the bar for the rest of the day.
Rule #1: Apres Skiers rule. Hot Doggers eat pork.
Rule #2: Diamonds are not a girl's best friend when we are talking slopes
Drink: Gluckwine served hot with cinnomon sticks

Succeed From The Union
Form Your Own Country for JEB's birthday
James Ewell Brown "JEB" Stuart was a kickass Confederate Army general during the Civil War. As a cavalry commander, JEB was known for his dashing image (red-lined gray cape, yellow sash, hat cocked to the side with a peacock feather, red flower in his lapel) and his audacious tactics. His wild raids and daring recon missions made him the Justin Timberlake of the Civil War.
Male Dresscode: As cool as JEB. Or in hats and t-shirts and boxer shorts with Reb logos
Female Dresscode: Like Southern Belles, or maybe like white trash in rebel tees
Lucre: Confederate money
Drink: Mint Juleps made with Rebel Yell, or anything with Southern Comfort.
Food: Order Extra Crispy from the the Colonel to commemorate the General
PartyMixPlayList: Reb Jukebox

Saturday February 6
Rasta Blasta For Marley, Man
Celebrate the birthday of Jamaican Rasta legend Bob Marley with your brothas and sistas in Jamaica and Ethiopia where today is an official holiday.
Dress Code: Dreds and tie-dyed ganga t-shirts
Drink: Rum drinks and Red Stripe beer
Grub: Pulled Pork
Marley Music: Ska, rocksteady and reggae like "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Three Little Birds" "Exodus", "Could You Be Loved", "Jamming", "Redemption Song" and of course "One Love".
Holy Smoke: Marley was a Rastafarian prophet who believed in marijuana as a sacrament. We like this kind of religion. Marley began his performances proclaiming the divinity of Jah Rastafari. "I don't have prejudice against myself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white."

Hair of the Dog
Also known as an eye-opener or "Arf before you barf."

Many professional partiers prefer an eye-opener as a weekend remedy, particularly when one has obligations such as a mid-morning tailgating party. But others worry that continual use of this method might have negative long-term consequences.

After an entire semester of research, it is the opinion of our staff of experts that the method should be used only once a week, on the Friday/Saturday turnaround.

Midnight Beach Party
And Bikini Fashion Show
Yeah, we know it is winter. That's what makes this party cool, or chillin', or maybe ass-freezing. Anyway, it's inside. Before you say this idea sucks, think about how long it is going to be before you can see babes in bikinis again.
Decor: It would be nice if you could dump a load of sand in your designated party place, and flood maybe a third of the living room. If you can't do that, consider a sandbox and wading pool. If that's too much, at least get out your lawn furniture and cover the floor with beach blankets. You might try to designate your bedroom a "Nude Beach" area, even though this is a very low percentage shot.
Dress Code: Like beachwear. At least no shoes.
Drinks: If you're feeling lucky, ask for Sex On The Beach. Handing someone a Strip And Go Naked has a nice subtle subtext. Drinks for real guys? Cheap beer in leaky coolers.
PartyMix PlayList: Best summer sht from school days. Or something from our Beach Jukebox
Grub: Beach recipes from the GuyGrub Guy like maybe Luau Skewers
