I Do, I Do...

There was a bridal shower for dearest, darlingest Meg this weekend.

Booze Buffet.


It was a lovely day! Real steamy! Even the dragonflies were trying to catch some shade.


It was Meg's day!

It was nice to see hardworking TJ! One of the busiest ladies I know!

G-strings dominated the list of gifts!


Look! My favorite cheese eater, Micaela, was there!

I love it when all of my favorite ladies congregate in one place!

We huddled together in the shade and cooled ourselves with icy summertime cocktails...

Sara, one of my new favorite people, used the term "chub rub"...
I cackled!



We played some party games, but the best was the one where we made bridal gowns out of toilet paper.



We chose our models and set to work.

This model's dress was in tatters halfway through...but not for lack of trying!

This was my team! I was accompanied by Kel, Abby, and the bride to be!

The other team did some pretty incredible work...Meg's mom was their esteemed model!

Someone solicited a nextdoor neighbor to be the judge...
She was in awe of our talents...toilet paper is a tempramental medium!

Happily, our attempt at a Grecian sort of draped affair was precisely what the judge was looking for! WINNERS!


See you in two weeks Meg! You'll be a devastatingly gorgeous bride!

I Give In To Sin


We explore the city.


Free spirits...


We take coffee in high rise buildings and observe the way the light forces itself through the sky.

We also drink Greyhounds and Vodka Tonics.

We wander Broadway at night and marvel at the history and the grime...

We're given to bouts of silliness and laughter.

This place has a lot to offer.

We make stops along the way...


We tried Goth Night...
They played a handful of good songs, but disappointed us, ultimately, with their aesthetic.

We made some faces.

Favorite DJ.

Clearly, I was hammski'd.


I fell apart.


I fell to the floor.


This is for Baby S.
Thank you!

I had the best time at your party...


Cruise Room.


Cocktails and red lights...

The ladies got gussied up and we met up with The H Sisters and lovely Shelly boo.


It was a night for adventure, I can tell you!


Maura Bryn hit it off with the girls, no problem...I had no doubts, she's a peach!


Jen and I have been taking this same picture for the last 10 years.
P.S. Jen's changing her name to Jennifer Cougar Mellencamp.


The spread...and this was just the begininning! Oysters, stuffed mushrooms, brie!


Lady Drunkards.

Maura's Hoegaarden.

The ladies, the ladies...

Later, it was Bushwackers for The Swanks and The Swindlers!

The usual suspects were there!

Isn't Shannon lovely - and she happens to totally rock out! She's getting married in October!


Also, it was Chris' bachelor party!


Pockets!

AlcoholiDave -all gay, all day...

This is a pretty good representation of the night...this and...

Thanks to everyone who came out and made my Missoula friends feel like they have a family here in Denver!

And watch out Missoula! I'm coming...soon!
