'Shindig'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
More fun in the Bay Area: Playland Not At the Beach - vintage carnival museum plus free pinball play!
eta: Cool map of attractions. (including a display of fake sideshow creations like a two-headed chick)
El Cerrito is the next town up from Albany where Emmett lives in the East Bay. So I think we'll swing by tomorrow after JZ's church and Emmett's practice.
Party Pictures! [link]
The official photographer was my thesis buddy's little sister. She had a blast with her job and took it very seriously. Until she crashed (see last couple of pictures).
I love seeing you this happy, vw. [link]
Ooooh, pictures! It looks like everyone had a good time, vw. And Toto is still as cute as ever.
Hey Hec, do you know of anything fun to do in Hollister, CA? Or does anyone know of anything fun to do in Hollister? I'm following the boyfriend out there in a couple of weeks and I need to entertain myself during the day when he's doing whatever he's there to do for work.
I love seeing you this happy, vw.
I agree. vw was all happy and glowy yesterday; it was very nice to see.
fun pictures, vw. I love the one of you and Toto.
Hollister has hang gliding lessons: [link]
(I'll just keep mentioning that. Between the DH and I we could probably tell you which instructor's lesson to take.)
vw, as mentioned, you look so happy! (Toto looks hungry. Starving, even. He told me to tell you.)
It really was just so much fun. And everyone just let me have so much fun. Once all the foods and drinks were out (and bunches of people helped with the last-minute stuff there too), I didn't do a thing. My mom and dad and J's mom and dad just did everything so we could chill out and have a good time...to the point where my parents put away all the food and washed all the dishes (BLESS THEM!). So, I have NO dishes to do today! Honestly, that's like the best present ever!
And Toto is still as cute as ever.
Isn't he, though? And he really was pretty good. We had him outside for a bunch of the party, and he just LOVED that. Oh, and he showed everyone that he knows what "Toto, cleanup in aisle seven" means. So funny.
Toto looks hungry. Starving, even. He told me to tell you.
I bet he did! I had J's little sister take down a box of treats to give him some because the grill was just torturing him. I said, "You can give him five," and she spread those five out the rest of the evening. And she couldn't figure out why he was following her EVERYWHERE. So cute.
