The Rusty Nails party TR thread post and stuff
Start it off by saying thanks again to Rusty, for hosting an excellent party.
Unfortunately I did not bring my camera with me, so I don't have any incriminating pics...but I know Z-BO took plenty, so...
Let's start off with who was there and whose name I can remember: Rusty (obviously), Squirrel99, ZdashBO, BC-FLOW, FUBAR, Rehabit and wife and dogs, HotButteredRum, Ski to Be, GirlSki, Viva, Tonghands, Platinum Pete, BakerBitch, Fiddler, Hop, several of FUBAR's Sturtevant's South Hill crew, a 4FRNT posse, JoshBu and galpal, several co-workers and friends of Rusty and roommate, etc. I know there were more, but I can't remember their names at the moment (shit, I almost forgot JoshBu was there!).
CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT: MountBakerSkier, Optics, Karma, and theAD. Grant, Chris, Kirk - WTF?!?!?!?
I arrived fashionably late, due to my attempting to change my car's oil and then deciding I needed to plaster my Pistols with stickers, lest they be mistaken for another person's pair at the party, or my core-ness-ness be in doubt. Unfortunately my lateness meant that pretty much everybody was already suitably drunk. FUBAR was, well, quite FUBAR himself, making discussion pretty difficult, although I got chastised plenty for wanting to move back to Bozeman (focker!). There were some still diligently working the ski vises that weren't too inebriated, but the 'clinic' aspect of the party was pretty much over by the time my late ass got there, and I felt too lazy to ask anybody else to wax my skis for me:D
Okay, and some cool observations: Z-BO will now be going pro on the wings of the 4FRNT mark since they get along so well, BakerBoy has a striking resemblance to Kelso from "That 70's Show", Z-BO and Squirril make excellent likenessess to GirlSki and her sister, large boobs and shit-talking and all, FUBAR hearts booze (and safety meetings too), Tonghands's taste on beer goes the shittier, the better (you and Gundar should really hang out), 'Breathe and Stop' is a really good flick, it was fucking cold last night, etc.
Highlights of the night - "I'll fucking crush her!" - Rusty Nails, shit-talking legal spew when Z-BO said he's going to sue Rusty over his shitty semi-step out of the garage with GirlSki as his legal representation; the 4FRNT - Z-BO spat; Viva's excellent 'Angry Whelk' apparel, and a multi-thousand-dollar quiver lineup of boards out in the garage (aka accident waiting to happen!) - please tell me somebody got a pic of all that, it was HUGE.
a ripping good time. USC steamrolling UW was watched, the Sox beating the Cards as well, and just about every semi-recent ski flick too. I got to meet some new people and revel with older friends, and I stumbled back into my door at 5am. Thank you once again to Rusty and roommate (can't remember his name hoss, sorry) for hosting, and thanks for everybody who turned out.
next stop for all - pray for snow party!!!
