New Year's Eve.

[Gemini Cricket]

I hear Brokeback Chernabog stole my hat. Hmph.
Just kidding. Thanks for grabbing that for me, J.

I had a great time. I feel so lucky to know such great, wonderful, crazy people.

The night was... juicy.



Thank you to Lisa and Chris for throwing a wonderful party yet again.

I'm so sad to have missed it. I haven't even met Thurston yet. ::sigh::

And there were *cleavage accidents*????? And I missed them??? Well drat.

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.

Hahaha, cleavage accidents may have been caught on the internet ... but oh the avatar possibilities (according to a devlish MBC) for the shots €uro and Not Afraid will find on their bathroom camera of various and sundry Penis Pokers poked by the penises of their guests.

Well, it's 10:12 and the party is over. Thurston is exhausted and spoiled. The cats are reclaiming their domain and I'm not moving from the couch until I crawl into bed.

I have to give a great big nod in GusGus's direction, because without her, I couldn't have pulled of making custom themed pillowcases for everyone. I had made a total of one pillow case in my life when I called Susan with my crazy idea. She not only encourage me, but offered to help in a BIG way. We spent 2 full days in our "sweat shop" bent over our sewing machines or cutting devices. And, it was blast! When she suggested bring her brand new machine over to embroider names on the pillow cases, it was the absolute best bit of perfection added to the mix. Thank you!!!.

This party has become such a group effort, while we host, plan a decorate we have additions and help from everyone. FP and DP's perfect-fit fireplace, CP's homemaker magic with today's meal, KB's help with grilling even bringing a second grill (not to mention yummy Chili), Chernie's Flaming Suzette Spectatular the, yet again, didn't burn down the kitchen, and what would be an eveny without some LOVE (brownies) from SM.


I don't know what the HELL we're going to do next year.

What fun! I love you all, even if you weren't with us in actuality. Happy New Year!

[Not Afraid]

Oh, so far I have found a camera. Any claim?

[€uroMeinke]

Happy New Year Everyone - I love the previous recaps, the only thing I can possibly add is thanks for indulging my Tang experiments - of course now it seems I have 20 more bottles of liquor than I started out with yesterday.

I'm so glad I opted to take tomorrow off, to clean, recover, and restore our house to normal.

I think I will pass on bacon for awhile though

However, Bill did manage to spill champagne on Her dresser!

I think you just found next year's theme, "LoT goes to HELL!"

What a fabulous time, what a fun bunch of folks. Thanks, ConeMeinkes, for having us all to your home, once again. Thanks, Cherny (best roommate, evar), for the lemon meringue crunch birthday pie! And what a treat to get to observe my anniversary across the international date line, with the Lashies! 'Bye, Erica. Tell your boyfriend's shoes to stop looking at me. I'm sure you'll be back for a visit, soon.

The Commodore just wants to add that he had a great time circling the rings around Uranus. Toot!

Ohh! I'll claim it. Just zip up all the files on it and email them to me!
