Well, I've been to three Kate parties: the 1989 Katemas party in Santa Cruz, the 1989 album-release party in San Jose, and the 1990 Katemas party in Los Angeles. It usually starts right after lunch and lasts well into the evening -- the Santa Cruz party was still going strong at midnight. There are posters of Kate covering all available surfaces. Even the bathroom walls do not escape. Hours of videos are shown, perhaps with breaks, during which Kate albums are played. People break off into little discussion groups. It really helps to have someone with an extensive Kate collection at your party. Andy Marvick has been to all three of the parties I attended. He has a huge collection of videos, records, posters, books, magazines, fanzines, etc., so you never got bored. Also, he's a veritable fountain of information. I'll never forget the time we went through the videos for "Hounds Of Love", "The Big Sky", and "Experiment IV" in slow motion so he could point out all the neat details he had discovered. Once he even read to us short stories, written by Kate! Ed ed@das.llnl.gov
