I'm Dreaming of a Swank Christmas - 12/16 ['07]

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Great moment.

We're just settling in at Jazz Kitchen and my chair vibrates. Huh? Oh, it's my phone. I look at the screen...and a certain name comes up on the screen. My eyes bug out, and instead of "hello", I answered with his name, as in "Techie7?"

He responds in song -
"Have yourself a swanky little Christmas..."

After much laughter I was able to communicate our position, and he said he'd catch us later. On hanging up, NA asked who that was. "Techie7!"

"WHAT?" If you didn't see NA's face, you really missed out. Her pretend son, calling ME? I echoed her shock, letting her know that I had no idea why he'd called me first. She looked about ready to kill both him and me, but then she checked her phone and realized she had a missed call. Heehee.

When He Who No Longer Posts did show up, it was quite magical, as you can see. :D

These photos happened simultaneously. I did not use a flash, but € did, and you can see his flash in my photo.

I counted 12, but those ones in back were hard to see so I may have mistaken someone for someone.

GD: "I think I'm going to sneeze."
Eliza: "GC just hit me in the mouth with his head!"
blueerica: "Whoa. No pictures, please. "
GC: "I'm going to zap someone with my lazer beam eyes. Zzzt."
Snowflake: "I'm in a green meadow and Valentino and I are doing Jello shots..."
Lindyhop: "I think I left the iron on."

:D

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Yup, I think the terrible pics are just as entertaining ;)

Great pictures, GC- and everyone really looks wonderful. (I really like Eliza's haircut, btw). :cheers:

Heh - I'll reserve mine for a special occasion...

There are 12 LoTers and that doesn't i include ISM

I think you can access the pic and zoom here (http://picasaweb.google.com/cemeinke/LoTXmasSwanking/photo#5145138440638986994)

Oh, so that GC in the back there!

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Got our photos up

These are lovely photographs, GD and CP.

I am, however, a bit miffed that no one has ever bothered to point out that I have a double chin when I look down or laugh, so I will no longer be doing either of those things.

Dammit, looking for the pic of GC and me on the Lilly Belle, can't find it, but damnation, this was a fun day! Fun to revisit!

It has been nearly a year, I need to get me down to LA soon!

[JWBear]

Ok... What's with all the GC avatars?

At the suggestion of Bornieo, a nice way to wish Brad happy trails and come back soon, dammit.

[BDBopper]

We're going to make sure Brad knows he is wished only the best and that he will be missed.

I chose to use my Disney Hero Annette for my "Aloha Brad" avatar

Thanks to whoever added the "['07]" to this potentially confusing thread revival title.


But it makes me wonder .... can't we have a Swank Christmas Meet sometime this season in '08???
