Another ACDC Luge party in the books and fortunately that's all that got booked :-)All told the party was a resounding success! Those that couldn't make it were there in spirit, if not on the slide show brilliantly prepared by Walter that delved deep into the ACDC archives for a look at the past, present and future of the team. The weather was fair which allowed us to take the party to the deck where this year's iteration of the venerable Luge fought the good fight and gave up the ghost at the service of the team.
Of course it's not quite an ACDC party without Jeff putting some voice amplifying device to his mouth. Those of you who have attended past events at my house can appreciate why Luly and I made every effort to hide anything remotely resembling a bullhorn so you can imagine my concern when Jeff pulled-up to my house with a Luge in the trunk and a battery operated bullhorn in his hand.
The devil and his bullhorn
Despite my emphatic pleas that the bullhorn not make its way outside, it did and much to the chagrin of someone within a 15 mile radius who called the police! It must have been sometime after midnight when I had a drunken conversation with Arlington's finest. Something about a $2000 fine, inside house now, don't want to come back suggested to me that the party needed to be inside the house and a few thousand decibels lower. I learned later that they did return but we were all inside by then. :-)
The boss and Georgie "luging." If that's not love, I don't know what is.
It would appear next year's event should be held a different venue as a gesture of goodwill to my neighbors but it's a testament to our enthusiasm and espirit de corps that we collectively mustered such a great party.
A big thanks to all who came and made it so much fun and a special thanks to Walter who generously provided the food and drink, Jen for the Rum and Jell-O-shots, Kevin for the Absolut, and Robb for that great tea-vodka thing and Jeff for picking up and delivering the Luge!Until the next time...

Where are ALL of the pictures going to be posted?!?!
ReplyDeleteFirefly tea vodka...that stuff nails you!
ReplyDeleteI liked the tea-vodka, but understand it's not everyone's cup of ... uh ... right.
ReplyDeleteAh, your highness, pictures. There is currently no repository for ACDC pictures other than the Facebook group, and even that is very hit-and-miss.
Thank you, Carlos, for putting up with partiers until 4 a.m. and then waking up with your kids. You're a good sport. And dealing with the cops too. Next time, we'll let Jeff deal with them, and hope the cops take Jeff with them.
Thanks Opus! It was an ACDC-licious affair!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes it does MATEO!!!!
What's up with calling me "the devil" in the caption. That is very wrong and hurtful. You know I prefer "El Diablo!" Its just sounds way cooler. So will you stop being so mean and get it right?
