This house is officially warmed

Well, the party went off without a hitch. There were some damn great times had by all, and some bizarre memories created. Here's a quick rundown of the event in snippets...

-The sun is still really too warm at 6pm...
-Hairdressers get drunk really fast when they finally get a chance to sit down
-Costco meatballs are much more flavorful than you think and disappear really fast
-Spinach dip in a breadbowl will vanish in under 5 minutes when drunks find it sitting in front of an unattended sofa
-A velvet Mexican Sombrero is a very strange housewarming gift (thanks Shawna), but is quite entertaining when placed on the head of the first gay to pass out.... "get the camera"
-We finally found a use for the strange area behind our garage...
-Even at around 3 in the morning...
-Shadow gets very needy before a party, but amazingly enough won't ever really bark...
-Ice is our friend...always keep lots around...
-Always allow Mark to make a cd for your party...the perfect mix is in his hands!
-When mixing drinks, hold the shaker lid on REAL tight, right Claude?
-Never agree to take the party to the nearby bar when more than half of your group is either done drinking or doesn't drink... but thank god it's close to home so you can just go back there for more.
-At 1am "Avian gay bar"(also known as "New local gay bar" and "The parakeet" or even the "Regal Beagle.") is always too far to travel to...
-When all is said and done, having a housewarming party really does make the place feel official....it ads that final nail into the reality and suddenly the place is truly ours.

Thanks to all who came! You all made us feel great about the place. Those who missed it.. your loss, but hopefully we'll see you at a future party we throw.

Let's warm the house...

Well, it's time for that housewarming I was talkin' about! Anyone out there who knows me and wants to come, feel free to call or email me for address and directions.

Ok, now the part where I become kinda lazy...

Ok, so the big move is basically over. There is some light kitchen stuff to pick up at the old house, along with my computer and some quick cleaning left to do.... then I will never have to be there again. The move went pretty swimingly and the company I used: www.myamericanmovers.com were wonderful! When moving, I can easily suggest them to anyone. They were prompt (15 minutes early) didn't break anything, were quick, strong and relatively cheap. Great experience!

Now, the colors have been chosen for re-painting the livingroom, dining room and pantry, (A beautiful array of Terra Cottas and Camel Toes... Thanks Carlos for your help) and the big paint party will commence this Saturday. Next the rest of the boxes must be opened, trash must be taken out, the studio space and books must be shelved and arranged, and the plans for the big party must be solidified! We are thinking of having it Memorial Day Weekend on Saturday say between 4 and 9pm so those who have to work (our Bartender friends) can leave early, and those who want a quick bit o fun before going out can swing by and see the place. I'm very very excited to get this stuff done and share our great place with the world. I now need to just motivate myself to do it all and get my ass in gear!

More posts soon, after I get a little bit more done, some more motivation and some inspiration.... for now, enjoy the number "Lazy" from "There's no business like show business!" with Marilyn Monroe, Mitzi Gaynor and Donald O'Connor.
