beasties we be

We had what they call in layman terms a “fabulous time”. We were rockers. We rocked out. (That one’s for you, davin)

Carrie & Bryan, Kylie & Danny and Jen & I planned on dressing up with style, sure. But I don’t know if anyone knew how much fun we’d be having. Well, that’s not true. We had a clue. They showed up here Saturday evening after several days of preparation with an armload of booze and four more armloads of costume gear. I was already in my short-sleeves and mustache.

We loaded up the Beastie’s vid for Sabotage and we rocked out. Maybe nine times. Really. Then the girls had to have their shot with that scene in Charlie’s Angels where the girls are all dressed up in tiny German bar-wench outfits. Or whatever you want to call them. Tiny. And tight. Anyway, the costumes looked hawt and the girls were on fire.

After doing all that for a couple hours, intermingled with a few drinks and the arrival of gurton, the baby on board, we headed out to UC. On the way there we rendezvoused with davin (whose pics are up already). We weren’t long inside before Kass & her entourage joined us, soon followed by Silvia & co. We were a postively unruly mob. So much so that management called me the next day to thank me for bringing everyone out and to make sure they all know they’re welcome back anytime. Especially the ladies in the tiny skirts who danced on the bar. Shane & Johnny will be thanking me for weeks.

I shot about 200 frames, all of them worth it. =) Carrie & Kylie also had cameras there, and of course gurton & davin. After all is said & done this could be quite the photo post. But I won’t make you wait for all of them. I’ll get mine up there within the next day or two and I’ll add any contributions that come my way.

I may even post a few from Talktalk if I can convince him to send a few to me. He dressed up for the first time in about 20 years. Not that I saw it. He was doing another party somewhere else. Sorry I missed it. All the more reason for me to con him out of some pics. So shh- don’t warn him.

The night was great. Minimal drama and the baby-on-board won $50. At least one of us ended up ahead of the game. Jen sprung for pizza and a $100 bar tab. Of course I beat her there. I got dinged for $200 and that was getting off easy. Must’ve been the Jagerbombs. Or the Ghostbusters. Or the Jagers. Or the Shafts. You just shouldn’t order drinks by the dozen. At least not often. I’m getting a reputation.

Sunday was a quiet one. A great bronsh at Demitasse with Jen, Kass, davin, gurton & Danny. Tim & Paula showed up as well but they didn’t know we were hiding around back so they had a pleasant brunch for two. It was good to see them anyway. I’m sending Tim back to Australia with the recipe for Ghostbusters firmaly lodged in his head. =) The rest of the day was spent cleaning up my place & getting comfy with Jen in front of a movie. I stood gurton up and I feel a little bad of course, but mighty mischiff just didn’t have a fifth night in a row in him.

Hope everyone’s Halloween was half as good as mine. Not scary. Nowhere near as scary as Election Day USA. Try not to pass out from holding your breath. Maybe GlobalVote will ease your mind.
