25 Year Party

One of the design agencies Brian worked with when he was at SRAM (not the one he currently works at) celebrated their 25th anniversary today. In honor, they hosted a 25 hour party for employees, clients, family and friends. Seriously, this thing is going on for 25 hours straight. Brian was going to it earlier this afternoon, and called us around 3:30 to join him. The earliest Brian's been home from work most of this week is 11:30 p.m., C's had the stomach flu for two days, and I've been working on a big project, so we've been home for three days straight -- needless to say, we ran out of the house as soon as he asked us to come. And we made it just in time for the break-dancers. I couldn't help but remember the time Brian showed the boys "The Worm."

We went right outside, straight to a motorcycle show featuring Bubba Blackwell. Turns out, the guy is pretty famous in the stunt motorcycle circuit. Even breaking records of Evel Kenevil. Right before the show, the boys found a frog that they put in a cup. Of course, C was holding it, and the silly thing hopped out -- right into the Bubba Blackwell's course. But I have to say, watching a motorcycle stunt driver shooing a frog out of the drive was pretty funny. Plus he was pretty impressed I grabbed it. (I used to love frogs when I was a kid -- and toads -- I'm ok with anything except bullfrogs.)

Here's the boy's frog. We did let it go. No worries. But they did really want to keep it as a pet.

As a finale (for us), just as Paul Cebar was playing, Eric and Brian had a not so friendly monster bike race. H joined in the fun too. We had a great time. The party is still going on. In fact, the fire dancers start soon. I'm just wondering how many people are going to make the a.m. yoga class. Good stuff!
