Party Time

If you were there on May 12th, you might remember some of this...then again, you might not. If you weren't there, then you will probably be kicking yourself after looking at these awesome (if not slightly blurry on some) party pictures...

...unless you weren't invited...in which case, I highly recommend you try to be a better friend so next time you will get the invite!!


(Party invitations...I made
them myself!)


(The first guests of the night, Kristy...in the
pink shirt...and her sister, Shelley. Thanks for
making it on time!)




(Also arriving close to the 6pm start time was
Becky and my friend, Nellie "Chicago.")



(Shannon and Becky...I think Shannon was a
gallon and a half into the Crick Water at this
point!)


(After a few rousing games of Yard Darts,
more people showed up. From left...Jill,
Becky (who was already there, of course), Jean,
and Nellie. Why didn't I get any pictures of
Larry?!?)


(And, finally, the late arrivers,
Jason, Lori and Scott. Ella came
with them, she just isn't in this
picture.)




(Of course, Bad Monkey was in the house!!
That's Double D...Doug...on the Bass, and
Big Daddy Staddy...Dan...on the guitar and
lead vocals.)



(Travis banged the drums.)


(Once the band geared up, we
started to boogie...that's me, boogie-ing
for those of you not in the know.)


(Lori and Ella gettin' low.)


(Jill and I getting our Running Man on!!)

(Big Daddy Staddy with a face melting
solo!)

(Ella making some new friends...)



(...and Jason reacquainting with an
old friend.)


(RETURN OF THE FRO!!!)


(Ella, me and Lori...what can I say, I'm a
chick magnet!!)


(Me on stage with Bad Monkey...this was my
first ever performance with an electric guitar
and first ever with a full backing band. After
muddling through "Every Rose Has it's Thorn,"
we rocked the Stones' "Paint It, Black"...
at least I thought it rocked!!)


(Unfortunately, Freaky, Toby, Chris and a host
of other beer drinkers couldn't make it, so I
had a lot of booze left over...since
I didn't want to feel like an idiot taking back a
non-empty keg, I decided to drain it into the
sink. Man, did that sink get wasted!!)
