Fall Festivus in DC

[Big E]

Well, I'm out.... moving to milwaukee of all places. Got a job, who'dathought. Class starts on the 17th, Woot! Woot!

Congrats!! We need to get in a ride before you disappear.

[The General]

Congrats!! We need to get in a ride before you disappear.

Thanks Dave! I was thinking the same thing. I'll shoot you the pm I sent slider.

[Tippster]

72 hour Bump. Come one, come all.

[Rusty Nails]

Hmmmmm. I've got tickets to UVA v. Florida State and a tailgate to attend, but it's an early game... Tippster, I'll take some directions from ya, but may be wayyyyyy to smashed to do anything about it. Also, any of you planning on going to MSP on the 28th??? I plan to be there for that, so lemme know where the pre-party, post-party, after-party, and hotel lobby are.

[Nohillsnearby]

Sooo? Any good pictures?

[Big E]

Huh? Where's MSP on the 28th?

PS - I hope for damn sure you went to that UVA game. I caught UM's upset of FSU last year by dumb luck

PPS - Sooo, what'd I miss?? Honestly the wedding (well, the reception) was a pretty damn good time, enough that I forgot this was even happening.

[snow_slider]

Excellent party. I have a bunch of pictures and so does Alioops, but I just haven't had time to dump them onto a computer.

Tipp and wife (Cindy) know how to throw a bash. The bluegrass band was really good and I was amazed at the fact that although there were well over a hundred folks there, the yard never felt crowded. In other words, I had a clear path to the kegs at all times.

As reported earlier, Absinthe IS a beast. The green dragon bit me hard. If I concentrate, I can still taste it......igh.

[iceman]

Heh, I escaped without being subjected to the Green Death, praise jeebus.

The tippsters know how to throw a bash. And you will all eventually hear of Logan, who I predict will eventually make Travis Pastrana look like a pussy and might just do it while wearing a pink tutu.

Man! He just called your kid gay!

[iceman]

Nuh-uh. Nope. The kid is a badass, and if you can pull off badass in a tutu, well, you're badass.

[edg]

I got a question for ya : why do oven pizza instructions say to wait for the crust to be 'golden brown', when they know that this is a patent lie and not possible? Eh? EH?!

[edg]

And why can't I resell multipack cans on a single can basis?

Nuh-uh. Nope. The kid is a badass, and if you can pull off badass in a tutu, well, you're badass.

Logan's dad in a tutu however was a little more than my absinthe addled brain could manage to comprehend....

NOT
A
PRETTY
PICTURE

[Tippster]

Heh. Cleaning the yard with a woolen blanket over my brain wasn't as bad as I thought, so I guess we gotta do it again next year.

I'm a bit scared what these pictures will look like. I have none since my wife had the good sense of "forgetting" the camera at work.

McWop, General, Big E, et al. -- you missed a good one. now, anyone want any leftover Sam Adams? Try as I might we only kicked about one of the two kegs.

[snow_slider]

I hear beer is good for the hair. Perhaps some beer shampooing is in your near future?!? It would give you another chance to wear the pink tutu. Come on, you KNOW you want to....


On another note.... Tipp - your brother and sister in law are NUTS. They had us in stitches for the longest time. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

[Alioops]

Tipp, thanks for such a good time. You and Cindy certainly know how to entertain. The bluegrass playin' kilt band was great, your family is hilarious and the food was fantastic. The Absinthe made my tongue numb on the way down and on the way back up.
Pics to follow once I download and send to Tipp (including the tutu).

[Tippster]

A couple of pictures (Thanks Snowslider)

The Greatest Bluegrass Band that ever played in my yard: FLYIN' BLIND!


Three Maggots and 2 wives:


I said "Long Black Veil," Goddammit!!


Thanks, G-money.

Next time bring your new camera.

[LAN]

EP looks totally sauced. Strong work, my friend!

[Mcwop]

Wish I could have made it, but had a last minute emergency on Saturday that totally screwed my whole day. Looks like fun.

[EPSkis]

EP looks totally sauced. Strong work, my friend!

I don't know WHAT look that is, but I'm decidedly UNsauced! (I actually stopped drinking WAAAY too early!)

Had a GREAT time, thanks Cindy & Tipp! Heh ~ the comedy show going on in the kitchen was priceless! To compliment the family act, we had Iceman throwing his in, too.. ("Hi, good to meet you, I'm Joe.......tomorrow morning, I'll be Fred.") Heh.

Good to finally meet you & the Mrs., Snowslider!

(Ok, now where are Ali's pics??)

[Tippster]

It seems there was a party in my kitchen as well:


QUICK, TAKE A PICTURE! HE'S NOT SURLY!


He had to. It was a moral imperative.


Down the hatch.


Pain is Funny


Ali's turn



After that it just got silly:




What was she doing down there?

Her sister Shelly - the quiet one.

Bluegrass on Absinthe, I guess.

I just love how relaxed and normal this pic is... like this is how they always look when they pose with a pink tutu
