Mark your calendar: Thursday, July 17 (6 p.m.). That’s the date of the 2nd annual “06880” party.
Last year’s event was a great success. It was a true community gathering — a chance to meet and mingle with the diverse “06880” community (both online and real).
This year’s party will be even better. Unlike last year, it won’t be the hottest, most humid evening in the history of mankind. (We hope.)
We’ll gather at Compo Beach — the alcohol-is-okay end. Bring your own food, beverages, beach chairs and blankets. Like the website, “06880” simply provides space to get together, have a good time, chat, laugh, and of course bitch.
We expect a big turnout at our “06880” party on July 17.
There’s no charge. It’s a “fun-raiser,” not a fundraiser.
The “06880” tagline is “Where Westport meets the world.” We call this party “where ‘06880’ meets each other.”
PS: We picked a Thursday because the beach is not as crowded as on weekends. As alert readers know, “06880” does not believe in reserving tables.
Sounds great, Dan! I’ll bring a few dozen (homemade from scratch)cupcakes!
THANKS, Audrey! You were one of the first to arrive last year, and one of the last to leave!
Hall & Oates will be performing, especially for you!
and as of this date there will still be a parking space for one and all
You’ll look cute in that bikini, Dan.
I want to know from where Dan got those hair extensions!!
I made them myself in my spare time.
…also, can we have name tags so I can see who is dis-ing my entries?
They’re on my list.
Good man.
Will non-Westporters be able to enter without charge?
In my case, you mean accuse.
Sorry, no. But as we get closer, we may try to set up a ride-share or carpool system.
Thanks, Dan. You know I’m one of your most faithful followers even though I live 1/2 mile over the Fairfield line.
Dan, can you please distinguish at the party that the Nancy Hunter Wilson who enters all the comments is not Nancy Wilson with a son Hunter who actually lives in town. Thanks, that would be quite helpful since I find myself being asked to defend points of views which are not my own as a case of mistaken identity.
Hi Nancy, come to the party yourself and do it! The other Nancy Hunter Wilson lives in British Columbia, and will likely not make it.
True, I won’t make the trip, and I truly promise to end my entries so as to make life easier for all. It’s been an interesting (and sometimes informative) experience to read about my old hometown and its present day inhabitants. So much has changed, yet many characteristics remain the same.
Cheers, and sincere best wishes Westport!
