Beautiful Beautiful Weekend
This was an incredibly beautiful weekend, that actually started well before the weekend, and was just so beautiful that it includes some work in there as well!
First after spending another entertaining night at my aunt & uncle's I went to the house my boss is house sitting in the Hollywood hills to work with her in person, the house was so cozy and rather large at the same time. It had separate offices and gym on the side overlooking the pool, and one of those offices I spent the afternoon and into the evening working as the beautiful southern california air drifted in (and yes even LA air is beautiful when you're a little worn out from a 115). Then at around midnight, I went down to meet my friend to spend the night with her before she got married.
The next morning all the preparation for the wedding went smoothly and I was done with photos and everything by two and went back and worked well into the evening. Then the drive up to the goodland, and further preparation for the Scavenger Hunt coming up. All in a good days work!
Next day, more rush on work, the game, and preparation for my friend's reception. The reception was beautiful it, it was on the lawn of her church, it was so nice that if she had to rent it, it would have been a lot of money. The reception was so her complete with a ton of smashing pumpkins. Afterwards - Los Arroyos, more working on the game, Breaktime, IN-n-OUT.
Next morning, up at the crack of dawn (8 am of course) more work on the game, straight up last minute crunch, just like school. But I finished in style and was the first person at La Patera.
Ok must go enjoy more now, post later.
Oh look, I am going to finish my post and it is later, and you bet I enjoyed Goleta!
People started to roll in, and became exciting, so many people, by the time we were ready to play there were over 30, how exciting is that! Passed out the rules and they were off!
Ben and I went to our first somewhat secret location of Blenders and enjoyed them greatly along with visitations from groups. It was discovered that Phil was using a fish eye throughout the entire game (so brave) and the pictures were turning out awesome.
When the games concluded the first, second and third were so close! First came in at 201, second at 193, and third at 191. How's that for a well put together game! And the first place team only lost by one photo, that the other team completely discovered by accident. John & Becky brought their projector and we were able to have an instant slide show at Rusty's pizza!
Then we had a Frankenstein of an evening seeing once again as many people as possible.
Sunday = First successful float day, even besides the elements!!
One of the rafts popped
I got stung by a bee
We were stranded on the beach for awhile
But oaring, floating, being tied together, drinking, and chilling were carried out with success.
And of course Dan's going away party and the bestowal of the original piece of Dan's velvet painting collection was presented to us for safekeeping until a later date in time.
Now that's a weekend.
