So I tried to post last night, but I forgot how to work the keyboard. Actually, it was more like I forgot how to work my fingers, but the results were the same.
Opening night blew my expectations away. It's usually an intimate gathering of really close friends and die hard alkies, (which are pretty much the same thing when you're giving away free booze) but this year a lot of people showed up. An Italian called the first Car Bomb O'Clock of St. Pat's Week 2004, and we're really all quite proud of him.
Last night was more of the same, though we started a little later than I expected. Worked out okay, though, because I spent forever and a day peeling potatos before people got here. Fewer Car Bomb O'Clocks than I expected, too. The first handle of Whiskey kicked last night and we haven't even come close with the Bailey's. No one has touched the Scotch.
Tonight at midnight will be the big toast to kick off St. Patric's Day, and I haven't even started writing it yet.
Anyhow, HSPD, everyone!
A few Stats at about the halfway point.
Car Bomb O'Clocks: 9
Abe Abuses: 4
Broken Glasses: 1 (!)
Injuries Involving Airborn Drain Pipes: 2
Burns: 2
Number of Burns That Could Have Been Avoided If People Would Use Common Sense And Not Grab A Big Hunk Of Metal That Has Just Been On Fire: 2
Inexplicable Bruises: 6
