Puffers "Sassy" and "Defiant" Despite Accepting Strict Contender-Based Party Rules

When Serendipity finalized their March party calendar, feeling smug that they had 'tricked' a Contender into hosting a martini party, little did they know they had fallen prey to a control freak.

"I call the shots. I set the rules. I pass Go. I collect $200," wrote Jen Helen Schaefer in a diatribe which basically put Pink Puffers on notice that the rules could change at any time for her martini party March 25 after Run Camp.

Fortunately, most of the rules have to do with excessive behavior, and as Kristen "Pippi" Raymer put it, "when we reach the excessive behavior point, I'll let you know what I think of rules." Even Pippi admitted, however, that the language in the Confidentiality Agreement "is a bit draconian."

Schaefer, concerned that she is turning over her "party site," the whereabouts of which will remain a mystery until all Confidentially Agreements have been signed and notarized, to "a bunch of amateurs" said she intends to monitor Serendipity's Party Training Seminar this coming Saturday at McGinness Landing. "I'm not worried about the regulars," said Schaefer. "It's the Puffers who think they can handle a serious martini party on one-week's training. Those are the kids I'm worried about."

"I'll throw a half-marathon if ANY Contender can out-party ANY Puffer," said Matt "Lucky" Harmelink, who is going to Professional Party School this weekend in Mississippi.
