Party and Aftermath

Yesterday was my Condo's block party. It was A LOT of work.

got set up early, running both food and equipment down to the pool area. The party was a success...

The food and alcohol lasted throughout the entire party. Which was my hope. The bands were excellent, and actually, we attracted the attention of several of the other highrise buildings in the area to listen to them.

All was going well... until the rain. During the second band, it started drizzling. Which was not a problem, until it really started raining heavily... So the band grabbed all their equipment and ran for cover It didn't seem like it was going to be long, so we waited for like 10 minutes (they wanted to keep playing)... So the rain let up and they started setting up their equipment again... and wouldn't you know it... the rain started up again. Just as hard as before.

That's when they called it. (we didn't stop the party though) So they packed all of their stuff up and left. Ofcourse, wouldn't you know it. About 4 minutes after they packed all of their stuff up, the sun came out... oh well.

After that, it was hot and muggy, everything was soaked, and it made for an interesting rest of the party. Oh... and one two other things that made the party, more memorable for me.

Flies... OMG... there were flies everywhere. Big ol' horse flies that we couldn't seem to get rid of, and they only got worse after the rain. I mentioned that we need bug lights or citronella candles out there or something, but alas, not available for this party. It didn't seem to bother everyone, but it grossed me out.

The other thing that made this very memorable for me were the guys. Most of the guys by the pool, wearing speedos... definitely had the right to!... they were HAWT! And did i get an eye full... Some of them were even nice and said hi as they walked by. Ofcourse, i had to continue helping out with the party, so i couldn't stop and stare, though i wanted to.

It also made me jealous, one of the guys there, who was extremely good looking and thin... ate like 4 hamburgers... I hate people with high metabolisms. It was either that or he was on tina or coke or something... *shrug*

Oh... and cleanup was a nightmare... with everything wet and soggy... YUCK. That plus my legs hurt from wearing my sandals all day, and i had a headache. It made for a very unpleasant clean up.

People didn't leave the party till like 9ish... and it was supposed to end at 7. So it was a success. People were saying it was the best party we have had. (even people who have lived in the building for 10+ years were saying that)
