Welp, as we're doing things in no particular order, we're finally getting around to having our reception on Memorial day weekend! (May 23rd-25th)
We're inviting all of you, whether we've met you or not, to come party with us at house in Loma Mar, California (address available by request) in some of the most fantastic moto oriented twisties ever seen. There will be ample amounts of food, liquor, places to sleep for my fellow drunkards, and of course, Bacon! [bacon] Right now I'm thinking a keg of Guinness and a Keg of Bass for epically large Black'n'tans. Possibly also a kiddie pool with Jack and Coke.
We'll essentially be gathering Friday night on through Saturday, at which point things should get into full swing. Sunday morning we'll wake up and fight off the hangovers with hair of the dog and bacon, ideally followed by a ride.
There is parking for any number of bikes and cars.
Anyone passing out, shoes on or off, is getting shamed. Those pictures will be posted. [evil]
There will be a bikini wrestling contest-Paula says winner gets the losers' tops. Those pictures will not be posted. ;)
Pin-the-tail on the flounder is planned if Stu shows up.
Dress is casual, but please feel free to bring squirt guns and water balloons.
Gear is encouraged for the rides.
Please bring no gifts, just yer wunnerful selves.
We have plenty of room for people to sleep, but you may wish to bring something to sleep on. It is unlikely we will have to tent it out in the yard, though possible.
Anyone drinking will not be driving away-bring a designated driver or a sleeping bag.
Please RSVP. I'm buying food and liquor for this, so I need to know how much.
I'm a definite maybe at this point. :P

I'd buy plenty....
never know how many serious drunks may show up.

That is a concept I can understand. [laugh]
I really need to sleep.
I'm losing it.
Hmmm..Loma Mar is sounding a h*ll of a lot better now for vacation than a Michigan roadtrip!! ;)
May you say....
sounds plausible. Teddy? You around? Interested?
Since you're just down the peninsula from me I *might* swing by. I figure this can be a game time decision though. [cheeky] When's the cut-off for RSVP?

What she said.
Randimus and I will be in Tahoe the following w/end. Can you postpone until then so we don't have to make two trips out?! ;)
OMFG!
I could fly up for some shenanigans!
[evil]
I'm in. [thumbsup]
this sounds like an awesome time! [thumbsup]
alas, i'm out of the country, and will still be at that time. :P
Hmmm... I do still have a few free flights to burn on American and United. I haven't taken personal time to see anyone but family since 2001, so this could actually happen. Let me see what the logistics look like. I've always wanted to meet and hang out with all you left coast folks.
It looks like my only option is to fly out Wednesday and return Monday (damned black out dates over a holiday weekend). I also have at least one free hotel night coming my way, too. [thinking thinking thinking]
Sounds like a hell of a time! I'll be getting married 4 weeks later so I'll be missing this party ~
JM
I'm gonna try to ride down since I'm gonna miss DiMBY West. The better half might try to work out something as well but don't count on it.
;D

You can stay with us, though I will be working weds-fri ;) I can loan you a moto in the meantime and you can check out the roads (yes, you want to do that).

Wow! Thanks so much for the offer of hospitality! Let me check in with work and see what's on the books for the next few months. I don't want to have to say no to any work travel, but it would be great to finally meet you guys!

umm...ya know. for once i'm glad that a gathering is just way too far away and at the wrong time for me to be able to make it.
I will also sadly have to decline, although it sounds like it will be really classy [thumbsup]
Ciao Dave & Paula,
That is really awesome of you guys to host a gathering for the DMF for your Wedding Reception - I think we should show up bearing gifts (wedding, housewarming, birthday??) - one of these at least! ;)
And if you're kind enough to do the inviting then let me have the courtesy to rsvp as soon as possible. Please count me in. I will make the time no matter what comes up to show up and celebrate your marriage AND your new home! [clap] [clap]
Congrats again and lemme know if I can help out with setting up (I'll help with prepping the H20 balloons ... and then hiding them... ;D )
xx - charlie

i really wish i could be a part of your celebration you guys... :'( <--------- real tears
I do my best 1st impressions plastered so this is a very tempting chance to meet everyone. Does seem like I may need to bring backup. Just one or two buddies of mine. Not that I don't trust all of you. It's just.... OK OK I don't trust you. I will make sure to give a firm RSVP closer to the date.
wow..........if a guy could hit dimby west, AND your gig........
almost worth a trip to Cali...
No kidding! I'm getting married 6 weeks post, so all my travel monies are committed to some Caribbean island time ~
JM
D & P such an invitation have I not ever heard of before. Such generosity. I can't imagine what all could and will transpire.
You two win the Hospitality Award for 2009 !
I can't make it to Cali but I will be there in Spirit.
Thank you for the oppportunity to finally see California but as I said I won't be able to be their in person. Dolph [thumbsup]

thanks ladyfriend :)
Just ordered a keg of Guinness and a keg of Bass. Black and tans ;D
mmmmm....... guinness [drink]
Have fun! I am doomed to never get away. I am taking a whole week off in June, but to say home and paint the bathroom and one wall in the living room.
Have one for me [drink]
lm and I are in..... and I plan on drinking lots of fluids [thumbsup]
Hey Dave & Paula,
I'm sorry to say that I will not be able to attend. A college buddy called me up and got me tough-to-get tickets to her son's graduation from the Naval Academy and wants me out there.
Have a great time! Be sure to post up pictures! ;D [evil]
[beer] to all!
Bacon booze and BBQ oh my!
Thank you for the feast of delicacies, the laughs and the delightful afternoon/evening guys. ;D [drink] [bacon] [popcorn] [beer]
We had a blast. Just got home.
My head doesn't hurt at all. That kind of worries me. [coffee]
1. My head hurts
2. I can't find the counter under the liquor
3. How on earth did we put that much of a hurt on the bass?
4. There is pee on two separate surfaces
5. Jbub is an excellent nurse
6. Calling the ambulance for a guest totally sucks.
7. Drunken shots while unicycling should be a sport.
8. Water balloons should stay outside the house
9. My head still hurts
10. Thanks to all of you who came!
As usual... Pics or it didn't happen.
Who got the ambulance ride and why?
Quote from: Little Monkey Toes on May 24, 2009, 05:54:08 PM
Who got the ambulance ride and why?
Guest with diabetes who had been drinking. Paula and I were trying to get him through it but had to call an ambulance.
Dave and Paula, thank you so much! I had a wonderful time.
And Dave, I'm sorry I hit you in the crotch with the water balloon but you threw one at me first. [thumbsup]
Oh, and lemme know if you need help on getting that Alpaca Threat Level system set up. BP, you're saving lives with that idea! [laugh]

11. Vinny will take a
bullet pellet for
a friend $20.
Thanks for an awesome and multi-layered party! Outside, we were grilling bacon and eggs (still in the shell), while Jamie shot pellets at Vinny's ass, and the dogs roasted in front of the wood stove. Great house and looking forward to many more parties! [wine]

It looks like you all had a great time!
~blink blink~
So um... how the heck did I get to work today?
JBubble, what did we learn? Just because you've been sitting talking to the drunk for a half hour, doesn't mean he hasn't had a water balloon up his sleeve with your name on it the entire time. [thumbsup] ;D
Dave, hats off for snagging the heater so we could have our outdoor smoking circle.
Paula, damn you! Foiled my attempts to get you to face plant on the unicycle. How is that you can't drink more then half a beer while sitting in a chair, but dump 4 shots plus some into you on a unicycle and you're fine?? [bang] [laugh]
Vinny, you took that pellet like a champ.
And to everyone else who didn't kick my drunken ass, my thanks. ;D ;D
