Well, I was right. . .today was a very long day! But I had a great time last night, and wouldn’t have given it up for the extra two hours of sleep I’d have gotten if I’d stayed home! Thanks Anita!
AWESOME PARTY! Thanks, Anita!
Thank you for helping, TPFKA Birdgirl! Your coconut somethingorother cake was fabulous.
I want to thank everyone for coming and for making the party so much fun.
Olentzero: Those websites you showed us are hilarious, but now I’m going to get a fat ass for sure. I sure hope your hand has healed. Kathy Everone’s got quite a bite to go with that bark. Danceswithcats: Thanks for making sure the place didn’t burn down. Ginger Thanks for bringing the yummy Christmas pudding. I’m sorry we made you sick. Norinew: Thanks for the coffee - some of us really needed it! Oxymoron and Anamorphic: Thanks for travelling so far just to come to our little party (everyone else: shut-up). Iampunha: Thanks for bouncing, or at least for trying. RT: Thanks for limping over. I sure hope that in a couple of weeks that ankle is all better for NYC, YIPPEE! Ben and non-doper brother, and everone else who came: Thanks for coming and Happy New Year!
To whoever it was that suggested to me that I should stop with the Cokes and start drinking beer at midnight: I’m going to get you for that if I ever figure out who you are. It wouldn’t have been so bad except that the party wasn’t nearly over at midnight, and I ended up drinking beer until 4:30am. Ow.
Anita and beer? That’s unexpected.
I’m sorry I missed Olent getting bit. I wish I had missed Olent giving me a brumsky.
Well, yes, but not unheard of, especially when you consider that for the first eight hours I only drank Coke, and I didn’t need to drive home.
Since I was stuck (trapped, really) in the kitchen, I missed a lot of the action, so I need to see pictures. Come on folks - cough 'em up!
You shouldn’t have put my head there in the first place. You have no-one to blame but your pop-top-headed self. 
Hey Anita and danceswithcats, that double top secret thing I told you about with the goat and the bird turned out to be nothing at all. D-R-N-K drunk.
I already forgot all about it. I think it must have been the goat who told me I should switch to beer. Damn goat.
Toldja you shouldn’t allow goats at the party!
Opal so kindly uploaded the photos to the PhotoRama: http://tinyurl.com/2p4nq
This looks suspiciously like my left tit. And here I thought I got away from the cameras!
Sorry to have missed out on the fun it looks like y’all shared (yes, yes, and the great salsa…sigh).
Happy New Year to my fellow MADs–any plans for future (January? February?) gatherings?
cheers / moi
Haven’t heard anything yet, but I have to imagine that if a January/February MAD dopefest showed up, it would result in something.
The MADs hit the road in two weeks for the NYC Megadopefest.
Moi, we missed you and TDC at the party. I sure hope you’ve recovered from that fire! :eek: UF, on the other hand, doesn’t get anyone’s sympathy because he spent Christmas in Hawaii. 
moi and tdc were in Florida. THEY GET NO SYMPATHY.
