Let’s Party White Elephant Style

It is still cold and snowy here, but let’s focus on fun! We weren’t sure what to do for New Year’s Eve this year. I have to work during the day until 5pm, so that kind of limited our travel radius some.  When we went over to the boxing fight party the other weekend we decided we should all do something, but we didn’t know what. So, Sandi and I decided that we could just have it here in Greeley, and that our house would be a good location…So…We’re having another party.

Here’s the Invitation

elephant-party

When: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 from 6:30pm until???
What: A White Elephant Party  (AKA Re-wrap your Crap Party  -What is a White Elephant Party, you ask? Well, this means for every person who is participating you should bring a crazy, silly, wrapped present. The sillier the better. Examples include (to get those creative juices flowing); an avocado green blender, a trophy with someone else’s name, a strange painting that you would never hang on your wall, a duck call, plaid pants that are 10 sizes too big, an old Bronco’s helmet lamp, a toilet coin bank, etc etc (BTW, I have seen all of these!)
Where: Our house, Greeley, CO
Contact info: Britton’s cell or home #:
 
Additional info: Please bring extra drinks or food, if you would like. We will try to have champagne, beer, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Also, if you are planning to drink and don’t have a DD, you are more than welcome to crash at our place-please do so, it will probably be a crazy night to be out driving anyway. Please bring a sleeping bag if you are planning to stay. Also, if you have a favorite game (board game, video game, mind games, magic tricks?)bring it as well. But most important of all, bring yourself!
 
Tentative plans:
7pm-8:30: Hang out, eat, drink, be merry, talk, listen to muzack
 8:30pm-10ish: White Elephant gift exchange
10pm-12: Play games, hang out, eat, drink, be merry, talk, listen to muzack
12am-12:05: Happy New Year 2009-ring in the New Year with friends!
12:05am-?? -Hang out some more, sleep?… lol
 
Please RSVP to me if you can so we can plan, but if you forget, no prob! Come anyway! And feel free to bring a guest if you want.

Also…if you have any extra chairs, that would help. We are low on the seatage.

Then we’ll be Jammin’ like Bob Marley 🙂

Cute YouTube Videos

I saw these YouTube Videos and thought I would share…they are really cute! They don’t really have anything to do with our theme, but you need a fun break every once in a while. Enjoy!


Mr. W
How long did it take you to figure this one out?

Rocking Out Instead of Working

A group of us at work had been using some extra space to play music during lunches and breaks. Turns out they asked us to play for the company meeting. I think this is the biggest venue I’ve played at to date. There were roughly 800 people in attendance.

It was a nice stage complete with big screen, TV cameras and a sound crew. Pretty neat to play bass and have it completely thump via a massive PA. The kick drum sounded badass too.


Backstage, but no groupies?

Work has built this nice grass amphitheater. I think that when we eventually move to PR I will try to build our own so that when we throw massive parties we can have live salsa (and other) bands show up and play!

We played
– Come Togehter (Beatles)
– Cold Shot (Stevie Ray)
– Rock and Roll (Led Zepplin)

And for what its worth…we ROCKED. It sounded really good.

Britton’s Spanish is Literally “Little”

Britton has a ways to go before he can say he is comfortable speaking Spanish, but at least he is willing to learn. You know, it’s the small things that matter most 🙂

I found this little miniature Spanish-English dictionary at a health fair. It is actually a key chain, and could prove to be pretty useful when Britton is driving around PR. If he can read that small…
