Blue Fish Companion Party II
"Return of the Blue Fish"
Pictures
Graffiti fish wall made it's second straight appearance.
Nobody ever helps me paint over this stuff.
(Though Chrissy helped me clean the house the next day - Thanks Chrissy!)
We also had a couple of hundred little paper blue fish on the walls.
You can kinda (but not really) see 4 or 5 of them here.
Happy people in my kitchen.
That's Jennifer, sitting in the back.
It was her 22nd birthday.
Jason, her boyfriend, is sitting beside her.
Rodney's watching Brandy smile.
Check out those pants she's wearing.
By the way, Chrissy used to be in this pic...
but she didn't like the shot. She made me
edit her out! Can you believe that?
Anthony never misses an opportunity to let everyone know that Gene
Simmons is his Dad.
Susannah (his girlfriend) plus Langston, and Sarah watch from the back.
All four of these people are soooo nice.
Shiny happy people, in blue fish mode.
Katie and Gwen arrive. They're both really cute, aren't they.
Normally I'd be too shy to say so, but what the heck...
this is the internet, and I'm faceless.
By the way, in this shot they are currently demonstrating
the entry requirement of all BFC parties.
The wearing of the blue fish yarn necklace.
Bob and Kristen were dressed to kill, and looking super hot!
(see "faceless internet" stuff above)
Special Note:
Kristen will turn 22 this Saturday!
(March 21st, 1998)
I used to not know this girl.
But I met her at another Party a week later.
Her name is Erin.
In this shot, she's showing that she can count to one!
That might have been fine last August, but this is Party II.
Major party foul right there.
Brad gives it a try, but still only counts to one.
Sunshine apparently enjoys his effort, however.
Maybe it's the Michael Jordan tongue action.
Ok, still just a one count for Brad...
but gosh darn if that isn't is a special way of doing it!
Matt gets closer.
Still just one finger...
...but at least he's got 2 beers.
(comments on beer preference tastefully withheld)
Finally, Sunshine and Eric show how it's done by counting to two.
If "tandem 'fuck you' " ever becomes an Olympic event,
these two young kids will be shining stars for sure.
Incidentally, when I first put this shot online I had incorrectly
identified Eric as Kevin and I don't know why.
Several people visited the site without telling me.
But FINALLY both D Brown and Bob wrote and let me know.
Be sure to visit D
Brown's web site!
And while you're at it be sure
to check out Chris
McConnell's site too. He's got some
great art and veggie recipe's there.
(eventually I'll get one of those nifty link pages for stuff like this)
The Pictureless Recap:
Almost nobody showed up until 11pm
By 1am I think there was 75 visitors!
I made 52 bluefish yarn necklaces and ran out at about 12:30
It was way too smokey in my house.
My cats were hiding in the back in lucid terror.
Jenny dropped a bottle of wine in the kitchen...
...but it was ok, and even funny. Heck it was her 22nd birthday!
At about 1am we had the big fish bowl drawing.
Marianna won third prize.
It was a stale moon pie that Chrissy brought!
Erin won 2nd prize.
It was all of the disks that AOL had mailed me in the last 6 months.
8 of them!
I found out later that her boyfriend (Kenny) had stuff the bowl
with lots of her and his names.
She left the disks anyway, so I guess they'll go in the pot for next August.
Kenny didn't win anything.
Blue Fish Karma.
First Prize was won by Andrew Kershen.
It was a really cool (I must say) blue fish t-shirt.
Only he, me, and Jenny have one!
Collectors items.
The crowd was big until about 3am when it started to thin.
I fell asleep on my couch at 4:30.
Chrissy told me that they tried to get me to go to bed but
all I could do was speak swahili.
(I hope that's how you spell that)
I think about 12 people watched me sleep... how darn embarassing.
I woke up at 8:30 and everyone was gone!
Start making plans for the next one!
Blue Fish Companion III - to be titled "Son of Blue
Fish"
Tentative Date : Saturday August 29th, 1998
