Well, it was a great weekend. We had a blast- it was just what the doctor ordered after one of the worst weeks of my life. Great to see everyone again, and sorry that I missed some folks (Casey!) Also great to meet loads of new centralites. So many thanks to the following, in no particular order:
-Dave, Rebecca and the Purple Orchid Staff. I know I was a little underfoot during my guest bartending stint- it was crowded back there and none of us knew where anything was, so we pulled together to find things! Like bitters! It was hairy at first but it went well. I didn't promote it on TC because I had some jitters, but I quickly sold out and made nearly 30 drinks.
-I am falling in love with Ulla. I want her to dance on my back in stilettos, and I have a feeling she'd like that, too.
-Congrats to Al & Ben on The Reef. Looking fantastic.
-The hospitality of Al & Shelly in 135. Good times as always!
-The hospitality of Dr. Z and his delicious Beachum's Own. I checked and I do not have your glassware.
-Cheeky Girl for all the work on the Zombie Contest. I think it went pretty damn well.
-Really enjoyed The Smokin' Menehunes show at The Reef. Sounds great, guys!
-Casey for so very much.
-Otto & Doe for so very much.
-Monkeyman for doing the picture board- and laying down the law at the Zombie Contest!
-My apologies for saying, "Yeah! That sounds cool!" whan asked, "Should we put the fog machine in Dr. Z's room?"
-My apologies for murdering the melodica.
-Project Pimento: better and better everytime and damn tiki as far as I'm concerned. Exotic instumentation and "Bali Hai"- what else do you need?
-Ape: always fantastic
-Mai Kai Gents: ditto. Plus Astrocaster!
All the best to everyone, and hope to see y'all again soon. In the meantime, here's a few of our select pictures:

Melodica as it's meant to be played.
This is why he gets all the girls.
The scene
Seksu Roba's killer robot. This thing delighted my inner dork. It was like the Rock It video!
Showing mad love for the german.
The thrill of victory
Overcome with emotion
That Miata sure makes a great bench.
