Vandals, Scandals, and Talent to Leave Your Mind in Shambles

What a weekend. I waited for the shuttle to launch Friday night before I headed to Hogtown. It was my first real look at a night launch. I saw one from Tampa a couple years ago and there was one a couple months ago at 2:00 in the morning, but it immediately disappeared into the clouds so I never really saw it. I am glad I didn't go down to the Lagoon for that one. This one was spectacular; full moon, mostly clear... special stuff.

Got to G-ville in time to make the rounds. Took Gunner out after we got back from the bar and somebody had slashed three of my tires. That was sweet. Apparently I just missed the guy too. Two guys were on the phone with the cops, and they told me what happened. I guess he was just randomly picking cars and I was one of the lucky ones. He also got a couple luxury cars and an older van. The cops didn't show til around 7:00 am. Luckily, Emily has AAA, so she got my car towed for free. For being such a shitty situation everything went relatively smoothly; The Trixster was ready to roll by noonish.

Marty and I hung out with Casey and Jen and the new pup in the afternoon before CL smooth and LB-L cooked up some mullet, trout and redfish for din... one word: mulletastic.

Then the main event... The 1st Annual Backyard Talent Show... Basically, Kevin put on probably the coolest party I have ever been to. The turnout was incredible. One stage, fifteen acts, three judges, a cool DJ, and an amazing atmosphere on a crisp Nov. night. It was such a great time, so many friends, so many brave performers... Kevin already has a warehouse secured for next year. Based on how awesome this year went, next year is going to be off the hook.

And the ultimate... After the show we danced the night away. They say all is right in the world when Casey dances... Well all was right in the world. Welcome back buddy.
