Quiet Dinner Party...
...turns into Virtual Reality Dream Come True |
|
Imagica Road Trip 1999 by bow Just a few friends over for a nice quiet little dinner? Not me, not
my style!!! Invite 38 OuterWorlds friends over for a chili cookout, and the party of a lifetime. That is the way to have a party! Weeks of preparation, marinating meat and making the chili
paste, running to the stores to make sure everything is in order. It must all be absolutely perfect. I wanted to meet these people for the first time ever and I wanted to make sure that everyone had a good time, relaxed
and partied till the sun came up. |

All I could think is where am I going to put all these people. Poor Pan, she walked in and spotted my bottle of wine, hmmmmm you could see her mind racing, alcohol. Not being able to be at the
beach all day, I was quickly being introduced most of which I knew in a heartbeat, and couldn’t wait to hug each and every soul in the house. |

They flowed in and out of the house, eating, drinking, laughing with their plastic plates in hand. It was far too hot, what was I thinking, cook and this many people in the house
during the heat of summer in Florida. Everyone walked around with plates as fans. Sooooorrrry |

Rocketchild and Spudz were setting up for karaoke in the computer room of the house to entertain during dinner and before the WVRR party. It was a blast, walking into that room and watching everyone
sing together. Thinking now of all the fun we had that night, the White Elephant Gift Party, The WVRR broadcast from my home. |

The White Elephant Gift Party, that was so fun, and trying to keep track of who ended up with what was more of a blast. How could we ever forget some of those memorable gifts. |
|
|
|
Pan ended up with SeeRay’s Right Brass Ball, SeeRay ended up with a Texas Turd Bird, ScarlettT ended up with ummm kinky stuff. Lilli and PaPu gave away a signed Beatles 45 record. I was
doing my best to keep it all straight and announce everything throughout the night. |

|
The gift party corresponded with the WVRR broadcast, two webcams going at opposite ends of the computer room, updated to a special website that Rocketchild set up, so both webcams could be on one page. |

On Saturday most of us packed up and took a boat ride out to Egmont Key, otherwise known as, the Ego Trip. At first we all walked across the island to the bay side, but the under current
was far too strong, I was afraid we might loose Rippie, can’t do that, so we rounded everyone up and back to the other side of the island. |

Everyone settled in and swimming, snorkeling, was great to see everyone enjoying themselves. Diving around the dock pilings with SeeRay, was great!!! Of course, on the boat ride back
the Captain had to show off his ability to round up some dolphins, and they did put on a nice show for us all. |

The roadtrip staying up till four or five o’clock in the morning everynight, meeting everyone, was a dream come true. At the end of the roadtrip I made a toast and said I would be happy to do it again
and everyone was invited back in the year 2099. |
|
|
|
Shhhhh keep this a secret, if I had it to do all over again, I would in a heartbeat without a second thought. No need to wait for 2099, in my eyes.
*hugz* to all bow |
