Greg's Birthday Party
We had a grand time at Greg's birthday party and I'm happy so many people could come and share some fellowship with us! Old friends and new gathered to celebrate the most wonderful day in 1972. Greg's parents were visiting so they stayed for a few hours. I was thrilled to finally meet Josh (yeah!) and bummed that Serge was a poop and didn't want to attend an afternoon party (ah, this young jetsetting crowd...). One of my favorite moments was when Greg's ultra conservative father asked if we were hosting a "Jesus Christ Hippie Revival" because all the men present had either long hair, facial hair, or both. LOL
The only really weird event of the evening was some strange drunk woman from the end of the block (Greg and I know our neighborhood well and we have no idea who she was) came out and started screaming at us that we were too loud and needed to go inside. o.O She was going to call the cops and we'd all go to jail. Greg ran out to see who she was and she was staggering back down the alley. ::shrugs:: Let me note that it was 9:45, the city ordinance for noise is 11PM AND it was only about 7 of us out on the patio talking and laughing. No music, no screaming, nothing. In fact, the neighbors directly near us never heard a thing. Oooooo...Kaaaaay. Whatever. Kind of fun waiting for the police to arrive. Apparently earlier (and I missed it) one cruised down the alley, looked at us, shook his head and kept going without even stopping. In other words, crazy fucking drunk bitch.
Josh and Christine left around 10ish this morning and when I laid down for a nap, Greg watched "Letters from Iwo Jima." He was so relaxed that he forgot he had to work. I woke up and he got a call asking if he was coming in. Whoops.
Well, I can honestly say I'm partied out. No more gatherings here until October for Halloween. Gotta rest. hehe OK, on to the pictures.
