Mustache Party

[omly]

So despite the craziness of packing, my upcoming final and other research related stuff, Roger, Tab and I decided to go to sarah_barah's mustache party on Sunday. I am so glad we did! Good tiem had by all. We did get there a little late and ended up missing the section at the park, but all and all it was still worth the long ride.

So what is a mustache party you ask? It is exactly what it sounds like. Everyone had to come with a mustache (bought, made, grown etc) to get in. Roger had brought milk to make one, but as we got there pretty late he ended up drinking it before final judging time. We made Tab's and mine out of sticky notes and pencils since most of my art supplies are currently packed. Tab won "best in category" and was supper excited. She spent the next 24 hours or so carrying the little notebook she won around everywhere, pulling markers out whenever she had a few spare moments (on the bus, train, in the kitchen waiting for lunch).

For the "grown ups" (yes that needs quotation marks; I am not quite ready to be considered one otherwise) there was a 4 way tie that was broken with a few rounds of tie-breaking Dr. Mario on original NES system, complete with the cartridges you have to blow into the clear the dust off the contacts. With all the stuff we would do to those systems to get them to read a cartridge it is amazing that you can still find systems that work. Maybe they just built them more ruggedly back then.

I'm so glad you guys took the time out to come - I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you much (or almost at all!) - between the heat and all the planning and crazy whatnot beforehand, I was ready to take a nap well before the party was over. I'm glad you had a good time and that Tabby enjoyed her special prize for her minnie sherif 'stache. I'll try and post pictures soon. :)
