Days of Wine and Roseburg

It was a good weekend.

For the first time ever, there was a party in Roseburg. That was Saturday, and I'm afraid my camera wasn't working so I can't actually prove it occurred -- but I bet somebody else can. The party was GabeFest 2008, a party in honor of Gabe on account of his getting a real job.

I am so pleased with GabeFest, with the weekend in general and with all my Oregon peeps that I have decided to institute the first ever Better Cats and Gardens Party Fun Time Award.

This award needs a name. I'm thinking,

The Dionysus




...presented by Better Cats and Gardens for contribution to Mirth and Merriment in all their myriad forms.



This weekend's Dionysus Awards go to:

  • Gabriel, for getting a job and thus making necessary Roseburg's first ever party.
  • Emily, for driving all the way from Coos Bay, being happy and not going to the dark place, and contributing the weekend's only known vomit.
  • Megan, for having a house, and for falling out of a chair to the amusement of all.
  • Drunk Lily, for being more fun than I ever expected.
  • Gabe, Megan, Teacher Mike, Drunk Lily, Jake the Law Enforcement Officer, and Me for somehow having the fortitude to do it all again the next day.
  • Me! for fulfilling my goal of drinking every day of the week.
  • Megan, for the same.
  • Matt, for pouring lighter fluid on the fire.
  • Jake the Law Enforcement Officer, for being such a good sport.
  • Teacher Mike, for saying, "So yeah, Jake is a law-enforcement officer" before I revealed more information, like my address....
  • Emily, for the force-feeding of cookies.
  • The Bartender at the Idle Hour, for getting hit in the face.
  • Megan's Dad's Band, for putting on such a fine show.
  • LeeAnn and Lindsey, because I hadn't seen them in a while and they liked my haircut.
  • Fried Potatoes, for being the best breakfast in America.
  • Drunk Lily, for doing stuff I said to do.
  • Lily, Teacher Mike, Megan, Gabriel, Emily, and Me, for being on the couch this morning. Let me tell you: Lying there with the funny pages and that horrid purple seawater drink I felt like I was hungover on the Couch of Infinite Love. Yay for Everybody!!

I will post the party photos soon. For you Steve; I'll even move them to the front of the line, as you may have noticed there is a "slight" delay between events actually happening and their appearance on awsomecam.blogspot.com I'll see what I can do...

Front of the line! It's important. Others may disbelieve my claim that a party occurred in Roseburg: We can't have my proof held up in committee!
