This was a pretty great, fun-packed weekend! Friday night,
I went over to Mer's house to have Gin Rummy night and a
Pizza Party with Mer, Pete and Joey. Mer was the big cards
winner. We seem to have a problem remembering whose turn
it is to deal, so I'm going to buy one of those visors with
the blinking lights before our next card night, and the
dealer will have to wear it. That will be fun! AND brilliant.
Haha. No pun intended.
Saturday night, Adam and I ordered Indian food and then
headed up to Casa for the annual Gong Show, which is Athens
own version of the classic game show. Chuck Bare Ass was
host, and Charlie, Bob and Amy were the "celebrity" judges.
They decided whether contestents would receive a prize, or
a consolation gift of a can of vienna sausages.
There were lots of amazing acts, including a girl who played
the kazoo while twirling a hula hoop around on her arm, all
while wearing a bathing suit! Another girl did a gymnastics
routine, which included walking on her hands across the floor,
and doing backflips!
Towards the end of the night, there was a spectacular performance
by these three fellows, two of them sang the Beatle's "Blackbird,"
while the other stripped off his shirt, chugged SEVEN shots
of whiskey, and then puked into a pitcher. Ew. It was a fun
and crazy show.
Sunday night, Adam and I scored an invitation to Mom and
Dad's house for dinner. It's better than a restaraunt. We
had the most amazing Sea Bass. I swear it was the best fish
I've ever had. Also, seasoned brown rice, salad with grapes
and blue cheese, fresh chopped mango and cilantro salsa,
multigrain garlic bread, and a light cream cheese, yogurt,
honey and fruit frozen pie in a graham cracker crust for
dessert. Gourmet! Yum.
