So these are the last of them, except a coupla skate sequences... This was fun. And now, I've got a regular job, I'm going to be boring, but the good news is it's at least interesting work... learning a new programming language, plus a library or two, plus a new super complicated framework... all marketable skills, things I can use to get a job telecommuting from anywhere.
"hey guys, let's go get food and make a big brunch."
Made their money back, at least.
Feast in preparation. Man that shit was epic and delicious.
What's that they're passing around? Oh yeah, hair of the dog.
Sacrifices to the party gods.
Timmy said "Man, if I hadn't done these tricks a million times, I wouldn't be able to do them right now."
I was going to just be lazy and post the photos to flickr and be done, but some of these need captions and comments and snarkiness. Also, I think more people will see them this way. These are split into three posts, so as not to hurt your page load time and my bandwidth.
Oh yeah, a technical note- these pictures wouldn't have been possible without clever deployment of the on camera flash and a little reflector to bounce it off of the ceiling/walls. If you want to learn stuff like that, why not come to the class I'm teaching at the coco next week? /blatant plug.
Getting ready to race. Tanner hadn't ridden a bike in two months and took fourth.
At my checkpoint, I made them do pushups. "I hate you," Cody said, as he jumped back on his bike. He went on to win the race.
Brian said his costume was rock and roll jesus, something like that, but looking at it now, I can't help but think of him as Spider jerusalem on his jesus binge. All the comic book nerds know what I'm talking about.
Unfortunately, both dominatrixpizza.com and hotgirlseatingpizza.com are taken.
This is what happens when you run smack into a car that doesn't give you your right of way.
The look on her face is really worse than the bruise and small hematoma he had.
No comment.
Hey Look! It's JEM! I still have that theme song in my head.
We even had someone dressed as a streaker/flasher.
The second best couples' costume goes to Chris and his lovely girlfriend Talia (sorry if I just butchered the spelling of you name, but it's late).
This guy gets the award for "Costume I saw last year on a girl." It was weirder/scarier on the girl by far.
Dance floor photos:
Neil, you look taller now. What gives?
Really glad Slash came by to DJ. Wouldn't have been as rad without him at the laptops.
Cyrus came as... himself? not sure. but he brought whiskey, which everyone knows is a substitute for a costume.
I wish she were just a little sharper. A little stillness in all that movement. My flash didn't fire.
Cyrus is explaining to her that a star trek t-shirt doesn't actually constitute a costume.
Kelly, don't worry. The flash will make it all right.
That's it for now. tune in next time for more fun, excitement, and references you'll have to google to get.
So, there's a lot of photos from last saturday, and rather than split it up into three or four posts, I'm just going to post this handy flickr gallery and call it a day. It was really epic. Like wow.
