Maybe we Californians are just jaded or something, but I don't think either
of those parties sounds particularly off the beaten path. Unless you were
carving the pumpkins with dental implements (or chainsaws) or the wines were
all from an unusual vintner, they sound like standard parties to me.
(Doesn't mean they're not FUN, though! It sounds like your Miata group could
have fun at a telephone-book-reading party; groups like that are immensely
satisfying to have in your life.)

(I *would* throw out a question to the group about the weirdest party
they've attended, but I'm reminded of Damsel once insinuating that she'd
been to a Mensa orgy.)
