I've had a couple of friends ask me about a fully stocked bar and what that really means. What it basically means is that you have the basic ingredients you need to make all of the basic drinks someone would want. It doesn't include all of the specialty liqueurs. You can claim you are fully stocked without having Godiva or 15 types of Scotch. ( Read more... )

What they were offering was all the flavor of Mexico for less than $30. But wait, there's more.

I just wanted to put forth that kruckegirl throws great parties. I really had a ball at her birthday bash, also with jefferytaco, azurelion, helenwheels, texasgrrl and a lot of other friends and acquaintances. I also got to introduce missscarlet to the group. She's a nurse that I met as a friend of a friend who is new to town and is looking for just some crazy ( Read more... )

I had a big party this weekend. I'll write more about it later. For now I wanted to store the menu somewhere so I don't lose it and so it's easy to share. I've already had several people ask for the recipes ( Read more... )

The weekend marked my first actual real party since I put together new floors. It's been far too long coming, but I'm finally back in my own skin. The weirdest thing though was how long it took to prep the house. I hadn't had to work this hard to get everything cleaned up and set since my housewarming party a little over 3 years ago. I guess it was ( Read more... )

Just a quick update...
Friday: I gigged with DTM until midnight and got home just after 1. It was the first time I'd done a load-out since the back injury, and it feels like everything is completely well now.

Saturday: Good day. Very busy. I gave blood in the morning, went shopping for a 2-year-old's birthday present, then went to said 2 year old ( Read more... )

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a talented and affordable tailor? Yesterday (after LLJB) I discovered that I have a real need to get my tux altered and a couple of pairs of suit pants recut. I was invited to a red-carpet affair with kruckegirl and a friend of hers. It was supposed to be a faux Oscars entrance, and so I was putting on my tux... and ( Read more... )

I posted the pictures I got at the Zombie Strippers party. I'm going to have to start taking more. There is no sense of how many people showed up. Or how the party lays out with half of the people watching the movies and the other half ignoring them in the kitchen or office.

But I have to show off a few of the pics here.

Thanks to everyone who came over last night for the Zombie Strippers party. We had somewhere around 18 people come and watch (or ignore) the movies. The last of the guests didn't leave until really, really late (more like early this morning) and I ddin't get the entire cleanup finished until... well I guess just now. I just unloaded the dishwasher ( Read more... )

Just because I like to keep this updated...

Many thanks to katjabee and kingwamba for their continued hosting of the NTMD party. It makes for a great way to start New Years Eve annually. Many thanks to kabichandani and cabachandini for their annual huge party as well. The last 3 years have started there for me, and I don't regret one moment. That even includes ( Read more... )
