Results Party Madness
Last night’s results party was AWESOME!! I definitely had a blast. I decided to pretend to be classy at the start of the night and drink wine since there were a few senior executives from the company at the party to congratulate the new ASAs and FSAs. I wanted to appear respectable for that part of the evening. Once dinner was finished, the music picked up, and the older people left. From that point on, it was straight to the hard stuff. If I was paying for an open bar all evening, I was going to enjoy it. Unfortunately, following up a few wines with stiff drinks is not the best mix. At least I was able to hold my alcohol, but it was a struggle. In the end, I did not make nearly as much of a scene as I did at my ASA party, but I still helped provide solid entertainment for my friends. I was also able to get people out on the dance floor, which doesn’t happen too often at the winter results parties (since there are no interns).
The highlight of the party was probably right before the official party ended when Puddles (another one of the honorees) performed his classic “Dime Dime Quarter Dollar” joke for the people still at the party. This is probably one of the stupidest jokes I have ever heard, but when Puddles is drunk, the delivery is always ‘A+’ quality. It’s what makes the joke funny. I thought I had video taped the joke with my digital camera, but apparently I screwed up (I was not exactly coherent at that time). Apparently, I also left a cruel drunk message to myself at work. I remember some people handing me the phone and telling me to leave a message to someone I knew that didn’t make the party, but I was leaving myself a message at work. The sad thing is this is not the first time I have fallen for this prank. Oh well. I tried to drunk-dial Mpls Ju, but she didn’t answer her phone. Mpls Ju is now banned for life from getting drunk-dials from me in the future. Her loss.
My good friend, TheExCubemate, made plans to fly in from Toronto for the party, even though he told me that he wouldn’t be able to make it because he couldn’t get any time off work. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to see him last night at the party. A few of my friends from the Philadelphia office that I catch up with when I travel down there also came up for the party. Even RoopDogg made the one-hour trek up from Milford for the festivities. If you are reading this and you didn’t make it to my party, you better have a good excuse!
A few of us went to FlyingV’s for the official post-party. I was not feeling the greatest by this point (wine and hard liquor do not mix), so I stopped drinking after one beer. I don’t remember too much from the post party, except that I started imitating the Nextel commercial when the song “Push it” was played. I’m sure it was funny (or scary), but thankfully there were no pictures.
By the time my ride took me home around 2:30AM, I had started to sober up. At least I didn’t have a hangover this morning. I’m glad I turned my phone off though. Two people tried calling me at 9AM today to see how I was doing after the party. That’s extremely cruel and I would have bitched these people out had I not turned off the phone.
I gave my camera to a few different people throughout the evening and ended up with over 100 pictures by the end of the night. Here are a few of the good ones. Enjoy!
RoopDogg and UNICorn
Puddles and his wife. "Dollar Forty-Five!"
Me and Hawkeye
I rule
Me, PhillyPhanatic, and K-Lo
Group picture including TheCrazyCanuck, RytheRed, Hawkeye, and others.
Me and Hyphen-Lady. My favourite French Canadian.
Letting BuckeyeBoy know what I think of his school at the post-party. I also stole his OSU flag off the wall and hid it, but FlyingV asked me to return it to BuckeyeBoy. Sell out.
This is just funny.
Me and FlyingV pounding our drinks. We were racing and I won. Just barely. Rumor has it FlyingV was drinking lemondae and not alcohol. If I find out that this in fact the truth, there will be hell to pay. That's just pathetic.

This may be a dumb question, but how do you post more than one picture on a post? I haven't been able to do more than one yet.
The party looks/sounds like it was a lot of fun! I wish I coulda been there. Sorry I didn't pick up the phone...I don't even remember you calling, to be honest (which gives you an idea of my night as well).
