End of Summer Block Party?

I was thinking Steve should throw one of these to get to know his neighbors. It'll just be in his lawn/on the sidewalk/the street because he lives on a corner + whichever of his neighbors are okay with their lawns/sidewalk being used to barbecue on/play games on/etc!

ICly, there will be invitations written on paper placed in everybody's mailbox for this Friday, and there will be sign-up sheets on the bulletin board of the grocery store in town for people to volunteer to bring stuff like: food, drinks, grills, napkins, plates, utensils, etc.

Please also suggest game/activity ideas!! I've got tug of war0.5, sidewalk chalk for drawing, the sock game1, scavenger hunt, face painting, sponge race2, a three-legged race, the freeze dance3, apple bobbing, and a life-sized game of chess.

Also, while the cleaning crew (read: Steve, because no one else wants to clean) does their thing, he'll put a tv on the porch and put blankets out so everyone can wind down the evening with a movie.

Added Activities: Magic tricks!

P.S. If you live on Topper Street, I'd like to talk to you about using your lawn!

0.5. Steve will be reffing because he has his body back and that'd be unfair.
1. People are divided into two teams on either side of a lawn, and a line of socks are placed in the middle as the dividing line. On their knees, participants have to toss socks onto the other side of the "line" and go for a minute. Winner is side with least socks.
2. There is a sponge and a full bucket of water on one side, and an empty bucket on the other where teams will run back and forth transferring water using only the sponge and only one player at a time.
3. That one where you put on music and stop the music and everyone has to freeze.

This is a great idea, and Barton loves any opportunity for free food. All my other characters are in too! But sadly none live on Topper Street. Quinn can wheel over his 60-inch flatscreen TV for the movie night if you like.

Quinn has a cornucopia of modern tech, thanks to being in Mayfield so long and getting a zillion regains. He has that, laptops, DVDs, a PS3, and a server full of media. His garage is the nerd cave.

Wes continues to vote for Star Wars as the film.

Only if Anakin isn't in attendance. HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO SPOIL IT TO THAT GUY.

And with this being the open block party, no connection to the server needed.

Mika will help move things, considering he'll probably need at least a little help.
