We got to Jeff's early Friday night for pizza and to get everyone ready for the party (Kyle and I had to do his joker make-up). It was chilled and relaxed but as soon as the door opened at ten, chaos ensued. We staked out a spot on the deck near the door at the top of the steps so that we could see the costumes that came up and kinda monitor the going's on.
As we're standing there and more and more people are coming up and essentially no one is going down, I begin to wonder how the newspaper headline would read, "5 Killed and Dozens Injured when 2nd Story Deck Collapses Under Weight of Too Many Drunk Kids." I told myself that since we were standing on the edge of the deck a collapse in the middle would leave us on top of the pile of inebriate bodies and that we'd be OK.
Before too long there were too many people upstairs, so Wes and I decided to explore and scope out some more costumes. We ended up downstairs for a bit (where Mystique was giving me the heebie jeebies), chatted, etc., then decided to try and find Kyle and the others. Even though the hoards of incoherent drunks were becoming too much to handle, we had Jeff's apartment to find refuge in, take a breather, have another slice of pizza, and refill our not-icky-miller-light drinks (since the boys paid, they drank some icky beer, but mostly stuck to jager and blackhaus).
The popo showed up, but it was only to move along the people that were loitering outside. They had been called in because some drunk girl fell on her face and hurt herself. Most of the people had cleared out by then so there were only some stragglers. The police didn't give anyone any trouble.
The boys made a couple of runs to the Sev and we all went to bed around 3. Nothing terribley exciting happened, but it was fun to dress up and hang out with everyone.
Last night Wes and I went to Matt's for dinner and pie (see photo here!). Manicotti with TONS of spinach (Sam is a vegetarian that cooks awesome, tasty food) and the apple pie with Edy's half-the-fat caramel ice cream. I took what was left of my magnum bottle of wine ( 1.5L Redwood Creek Pinot Grigio) from Friday and Wes and Matt bought a case of St. Pauli Girl. We watched Interview with a Vampire with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. It was a spectacularly laid back and enjoyable evening.
I wanna go for a walk up at the lake today but I gotta work on getting the boy up first!
P.S.
Max Payne was a terrible movie. Don't waste your money.
