Category: It Happened to Me

Updated Thursday, November 13, 2003 at 14:55 EST: Removed one photo at the subject’s request. S/he thought s/he looked bad, I thought s/he looked fine. But the rule is: if you don’t want your photo on the blog, off it goes.

There are also a large number of non-hot-tub-related photos from the party.

The lovely LizVang has a nice set of photos, including this great one of Char wearing my Legendary Cowboy Hat:

I’ve also posted the first set of photos to Thirtysexy 2, a photo album of what happened outside the tub. More will get posted later.

Even Death had a good time at my party! (Okay, that’s Jacqui, and the scythe is actually mine.)

Here’s the upstairs tub, still full of booze, at the beginning of the party. The downstairs tub was equally full.

All the photos in the Thirtysexy series were taken by Rannie “Photojunkie” Turingan, who went above and beyond the call of duty by dropping off a CD-ROM of all the pictures he’d taken, not even 24 hours after the party ended! You rock, Rannie!

Matt “FeralBoy” Comroe proves that through the magic of Photoshop, it’s still possible to catch some hot tub action, even if it’s days after the cops shut it down:

I was so busy recovering from a wild weekend that I missed my own blog’s second anniversary. I suppose the hot tub truck photos are commemoration enough.

If you’re wondering where all the entries prior to July 2003 are, they’re in my old Blogger-based blog. The archives for that blog start at November 10, 2001 and end at August 4, 2003.

I’ve been getting email asking for photos from the hot tub all day, so here they are!

First, a look at the Hot Tub Truck from the side:

And now, from the back. That’s Michelle Turingan flipping the bird. As you’ll see in later pictures, she likes to do that.

For the rest of the photos, click here or on the picture below:

I have about 300 photos to sort through, so it may take a few more hours before those birthday party / hot tub photos go online. However, since some people are bored at work, here’s another photo from the tub.

If I ever release a country album, this has to be the album cover:

Eldon emailed me this thank-you note for the party. You’re welcome, dude!

Eldon added to the surreality of the party by not only being one of the few, the proud and brave to enter the hot tub; he also did it in a (brrrr) Speedo!

Girls who remember him from Crazy Go Nuts University are hereby entitled to take the day off for emotional trauma that that mental image may have caused.

Before I begin, my thanks to all those who attended, double thanks to all those who helped out with setting up, and triple thanks to my housemates, who went above and beyond the call of duty in helping get this thing together. It was an excellent party, and I have no idea how I’ll top it next year…yet.

If you attended, you probably know what happened.

If you didn’t, you missed out on: two bathtubs packed to the rim with booze, the most eclectic group of partiers you’ll find anywhere, good music, great conversation, unbloggable drama and co-ed semi-naked and naked hot tub action.

Plus, I used my schmooze-fu to talk the cops down from lots of fines to a stern warning.

I’ll report in more detail once I’ve had some sleep. Watch this space!
