More Pictures

 Looks like Leo et al. took some way better pictures than I did.

Rum Partay!

Well the party last night went, in my own opinion, very well. So like any good party, I must get the apologies out of the way first.

Sorry if:

1. While dancing I dipped you and then promptly fell over (ladies, you know who you are).
2. I slapped you on the ass really really hard (guys, you know who you are).
3. I picked you up over my shoulder and possibly fell down (this one applies to the ladies and the gents).

Other than that, I had a great time. I did feel a little bit like kid show-business, because I was constantly interrupting people mid-way through a sentence so that I could answer my phone and go get the door. I found out later (this morning) that I could actually keep my door unlocked. I didn't get to talk to everyone as much as I would have liked, but I think the Mai Thais more than made up for it.

Strangely this morning my kitchen smelled like puke, and my bathroom smelled fine. A little surprising considering that I think someone may have taken full advantage of my toilet, if you know what I mean. Also, melted marshmallow peeps are really hard to clean up. I think you have to get them as soon as they spill or you're pretty much toast.

I felt like a good number of people came. Not too many that I felt like an unpopular chump, but not so many that people were spilling out into the lobby. I really didn't want that just because I was already worried about disturbing my neighbors. Speaking of which...

This morning I found the following note attached to my mailbox, written on a slip of paper sponsored by Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium):

Next time you party so loud I will call the cops!
I'll be putting in a complaint to bldg. mgt.

Okay, so that kinda sucked. But at least the cops weren't called, and I'm not having any more parties probably until I move somewhere else so I think this is an acceptable level of damage for one night.

Finally, I was really happy that people brought their friends. There were even a few people who came just because they heard about it, which was great. I myself am the consumate party crasher, so it was great to see some folks returning the favor! (Note the total lack of sarcasm in the previous statement. And this one.) Cheers you good people of Pittsburgh and delicious rum! Jeers to hangovers, spilled drinks and broken lightbulbs! ;-)

The rest of the details will follow in a friends-only post, but here are a few pictures from last night's rum party and from this morning. Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to take very many pictures of, you know, my actual friends actually having a good time, but I think the aftermath pictures pretty much say it all. Also I didn't aim the camera when I was taking pictures during the party. Not sure why.
