Holy crap, the party continues to be fun and different each year, even while accumulating traditions.
I don't think we can ever cap the obscene amount of bacon consumed. Bacon hors d'overs the night before, both wrapped around items and simply laid out, with the candied bacon (thanks Ms. Drunken Seamstress!) being the winner hands down. Then morning, with plate after plate of various bacon types being thrown on outdoor griddles by Kevy and € and delivered around, until I swear every pore of my body was filled with greasy goodness. I won't be able to look at the stuff for a while yet.
The Tang Punch was an effortless way to get trashed and I believe that led to the glib tone of the evening. (quick apology - I think I got a bit in abusive drunk mode for a while there - sorry if I was a downer on anyone, I didn't mean it!) The Lashes had everyone in tears with their antics, and a visit to the Drunken Seamstress's room was always amusing. The backyard firepit was a wonderful new twist (thanks to DP and FP) and no one spilled anything on NA's outfit - a first!
We got a little sad when Erica left, though meeting her guy was a treat. Some stayed and some left and some even returned for breakfast gloriousness. As usual, amazing food from amazing cooks! There was the usual snoring and cat antics through the night. I did get awoken by what felt like a punch in the head with brass knuckles only to find myself truly bleeding from a startled Calliope to the face. One hell of a WTF moment. In happy news, I did not kill the cat and accepted her apologies.
We "watched" fabulous films - 2001, Fantastic Planet, Barbarella, Earth Girls are Easy, the Women on the Moon. We actually shushed and saw CQ in it's entirety - I adore that film, and it includes a NYE celebration! Couldn't be better.
What else...NirvanaMan's stolen pants and vandalized recovery, MaryPoppins via webcam, the wiggly Thurston attack on lindyhop that never ended, being filmed while taking a shower....yeah, that about wraps it up.
I've got my keepsake space toys and personalized pillowcase to remember this evening forever. You two sure do know how to put on a party, and everyone else sure knows how to attend one.
