So. Immediately following my post yesterday,
morenasangre and Farren showed up. We hung out for a bit and began to get concerned, at 6:30, by the lack of people showing up....
yendi made a sign for the door that gave directions to the restaurant, and just as he was headed to the door to tape it up, in poured
mousegrrl,
tikimama,
melintur,
ariadnesthread,
two_star,
podling, her friend Heather,
astrophysicat,
tanaise,
chrisv, and
deza. Got organized. Got out the door and bumped into
rloveking and
voltbang and Maddie. Got two more steps down the driveway, and
stronae,
darkmattr,
adellyna, and
edie22 pulled up. :)
So. Everyone got situated, and we walked over to the restaurant... I just kept looking behind me and laughing, as, I swear, the only other time I've dined with this many people was at my wedding! We took up three whole tables at the hibachi place. :)
jet_li_wannabe and Thomas arrived at the restaurant shortly after we were seated. Grand total: 26 people, I think, I lose track.
Dinner was great as always; we detoured to Bruster's on the way back, but Some People were wimps and too full from hibachi to eat any ice cream. Which was their loss.
Then back to my place. I should point out that Elayna did a fantastic job of handling having all of these strangers around; she was really well-behaved, and very friendly, and she played peek-a-boo with Maddie to distract her when the fire upset her. So. My place.
tikimama had gifts for everyone, yay! She gave me a book and a pair of boy-style panties emblazoned with "Try me, I'm yummy!" I wish I'd known so I could've picked up something for her...I gave
stronae his birthday present from me, this shirt: https://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/zoom/management-sql-query.jpg .
Hung out for a while. Played games. And as the party died down, I got all tarted up to go to another party and the 80s dance with
stronae: short-sleeved white button-down cleavagey shirt, *very* short blue and black plaid skirt, white thigh-highs with bows on the front, and my Docs.
tikimama braided my hair and lent me redder lipstick. :) So. Party went very well, and we moved on to the dance at 3something.... the dance was not so hot. For one thing, canned music; for another, I know it's a goth 80s dance, but did it have to be *pitch* dark? We were totally unable to see anyone. Which sucked, because we were looking for
auryn29a,
catalyxt,
tikimama, and
melintur. *pout* So we checked out the live music, which also sucked, and then went to look for
god_dot_com's party. And
bob_dot_com must be mad at me because I told him he was my bitch, because he gave us a nonexistant room number. Bitch. So we just bought a donut and came home. La.
So. I'm on, umm, 3-4 hours sleep. I'll be dangerous today. Dangerous, I tell you. And I wanna go to the real 80s dance tonight.
I think I'm going to need to go to sleep at like 5 PM on Monday to catch up... but I'm having fun!

taking over restaurants
Once we took over a morrocan restaurant with 76 people and Bucca di Beppo with 78.
The scary thing is that we been regularly having 20-25 people showing up at the Dim Sum gathering lately...
Glad that you're having fun. <*gryn*>
