When was the last time you went to a garage party that was any good? If you weren't at MY party, then, most likely never.
I almost didn't even have a birthday party since I didn't want to have to stress over it. I'm the type of person who was totally worrying about whether people would have fun, eat the food, mingle, or even show up. Lucky for me, Jenn convinced me that my friends are normal people, meaning I just need to have enough alcohol to make sure everyone got good and liquored up and everything else would take care of itself.
For food, we went with 3 rib and 3 chickless dinners and 2 large sweet baked beans from Phil's BBQ, along with 50 pieces of fried chicken from Albertsons and a tin each of potato wedges and breadsticks from Oscar's. I thought that we'd have a ton of leftovers afterwards, but alcohol has a way of making people hungry I guess, because all this food was picked clean. Literally.
Food is always a good thing at a party.
The puppies are always a big hit. They were so excited to see all the new people. The world from their perspective must be a little scary though.
Here I am with the best girlfriend ever. This is the "before getting trashed" look.
The night before, we went to BevMo and bought the party favors, which included a case of Fat Tire and Newcastle, a JUG of Stoli, a bottle of Jameson, and various mixers. On top of that I got a bottle of Glenfiddich (thanks Alf!), a bottle of Jager (thanks Ben!), and a bottle of Dewars (thanks Jon!) as presents.
Here we are having our first group shot of Stoli for the night. The funny thing is, I was totally stoked to take a shot, so I yell out, "Who wants to take a shot?" and for a brief instance, all I got was silence. Seriously, with the crickets chirping in the background and everything. Lucky for me, Denise comes to my rescue, raises her hand and cheerily announces, "I will!" Then she proceeds to convince everyone else that they wanna take a shot too. Awesome.
The afterface from taking a shot is always funny.
Did I mention that there was a liberal amount of drunken karaoke at my birthday party? Drinks + Karaoke = Good Times!

I love it when my friends make friends with each other.
Was this like a Mt. Carmel c/o '98 reunion or what?
Demetrius gettin down on the mic. I think he's singing Neil Diamond's "America". Hell Yeah!
Seriously, Jukebox ALWAYS has to have a funny face when he's in a picture.
These guys were up to something, but I just didn't know what...
No, really, karaoke is big hit when everyone's been drinking.
Future mega-artist Amina James and Olivia. These girls are dope!
