the world has turned and left me here

jesus throws a killer house party

Big house party at Jesus's last night. Many frisbee people in attendance, some old-timers even, but a lot of other people too, just a big cross section of wild drunken humanity. The first keg was gone by 11 pm and I have no idea how that was accomplished...there were maybe 25 people there when I showed up.

Maybe this guy was responsible? Note Nebraska Ultimate symbol on Andy's cup. This would make a great advert for the team I think...well it would be truth in advertising at least. Truth in advertising. I'd drink to that.

Jake was there (as I said, random cross section) with his business partner. When I called him before the party they were doing their taxes. My pals Mark & Jeff showed up & made fun of people.

Things started to clear out--the tide went out again--leaving only the truly drunk washed ashore. A sing-along (scream-along?) started in the basement. Have never seen this happen in America, there was no music playing or anything and we didn't even know each other mostly. But someone would start a song & everyone would join in at the top of their lungs. There was ACDC and Sublime and that one Dead Eye Dick song that you'd think people had forgotten by now.

Jake conducts. Note Capt. Jack Sparrow fingers. At one point he started screaming "Mary Had a Little Lamb" over the din, and I found this so funny that I had to lay down in the basement beer muck and shoe slime and roll around in it laughing.

The house lost power twice during the night, somebody tripped a circuit breaker or something & it was a blackout for 5 min. each time. What a great idea if it was planned. Everyone just grabbed the nearest member of the opposite sex and well you know.

Brennen chills, baldly, by the door. Things are winding down.

Jake & Brennen & I eventually headed for Hiway D where we ate sundry breakfast foods prepared by the alluring Mary. Not up for breaking on through to the other side like the three of us did last weekend (random jam session), we took Jake home at 4. Brennen & I then visited Mary after she got off work.

Walked around freezing in the streets until she called to us from the doorway. The three of us watched Road House, the worst piece of cheesy 80's crap I've ever seen, one of those so bad it's good things.

I don't even remember falling asleep. But then it was dawn & the title screen was looping. Time to end this. We got up muggy eyed and drove home through the light traffic of normal go-getter types preparing for yet another day.
