Happy Birthday Jim!!

So this saturday, we all threw Jim a surprise b-day party. Kelly designated myself, Justyna and Josh in charge of setup and letting everyone in. It all ran smoothly, nobody pulled a Dave. For the first half of the night I was still recovering from a nasty migrane headache. There is a picture of Justyna, Antonia and myself all looking like corpses on the couch. I'll post it when it shows up. For most of that night I didn't even have a buzz. Then at some point I took my flask out and started to enjoy the vanilla vodka that was inside. Then the drunken adventures of Erika began. It started with me praying to the porcelin god which is all I remember. But I guess at somepoint I went outside I was told and wouldn't come in for awhile. Now mind you it was cold as hell and apparently Jim and Justyna were trying to talk me into coming inside, but I came in when I was good and ready. Then I went and spent more time in the bathroom. At which point Jim came in and tried to get me up, but I guess my legs had fallen asleep and I just fell on my side and passed out on the bathroom mat. I have no idea what time I woke up, but I moved to Jim and Kelly's couch and continued to sleep. At least I had my pants on when I woke up this time. (that's a whole other story involving my mom, my aunt and Des Moines - another adventure I had which I couldn't remember). I ended up spending most of Sunday hanging out with Jim and Kelly at their place. Kelly and I chatted while Paul and Jim played video games. Nice recovery day. At least I didn't have a hangover when I woke up. Below are some pictures and short movies from the party that Josh took. These will also be posted on his blog, but I'll post more as they show up.

And to really feel the vibe, check out some short video clips from the night. Thanks Josh!! (you'll need quicktime or something similar to view these)
