Paper Faces on Parade

Continuing the rundown of some great parties I attended this summer.

To celebrate their birthdays, friends Mitch (& her dad), Kurtis and Scott threw a big party at the Bedford Abode in Northridge. The theme was "Masquerade" and we were all to come dressed in "Mad Hats, Makeup and Masks," which we pretty much all did.

Although initially concerned with what I was going to wear, I found a Chinese mask in a little shop near my apartment for a $1.50, and discovered a gold silk shirt in my closet my uncle in Hawaii had given me years ago, but which (for obvious reasons) I had never worn. I mixed those together and I was ready to party. Unfortunately, the mask kept gouging into my face and the shirt felt strange on my skin so I abandoned the outfit fairly early.

Lots of eating and drinking was going on by the time I got there, with the jello shots and pitchers of "Man-tinis" (Kurtis's "manly" version of the decidedly "less manly" Apple Martini, his drink of choice) being the hits. Kurtis had set-up a projector and screen outside, so we did some big screen karaoke before I busted out the Guitar Hero. John displayed some skillz, but was no match for my star power + eye lasers (see image for proof). During this, a faction started a short game of poker which I didn't get in on, and others began roasting marshmelons for smores, which I did.

The party was a lot of fun, despite Mitch's false assertion that there would be prizes given out. Then again, she was wearing a gold bikini, and it's amazing what kind of shit you can get away with when wearing one of those things.
