Last night was the 2005 Casa Cantina Mustache
Party. The Mustache Party is an annual Casa event, and this
year they offered to donate all proceeds to Kaleb, going along
with the Mustaches for McCutcheon movement, making it a benefit!
I made a sweet donation box to display at the
party. It had mustache fur and JEWELS! Between the donation
box, cover charge, and a generous offer to double all proceeds
of the night, the final total raised during the party was $1300!
Throughout the night, movies full of mustaches,
such as Cannonball Run, were projected onto the walls of the
bar. There was also plenty of rocking music, and a live performance
by the Speed Knobs.
Another fun feature of the night was a DELICIOUS
new beer that Casa had on tap: Marietta Brewing Company Paw
Paw Wheat. It's fruity and smooth and delicious and NINE PERCENT
ALCOHOL!
So the mustache party was a great success. I
made tanktops with the mustache man from Dude Mountain (Anne's
house) on them for Mer and I to wear. We also got to sport
our mustache bands. We were surrounded by a SEA of mustaches!
As if that all wasn't enough fun, we hit the
Mustache After Hours Party. Craig and Moss, who came dressed
as mexican wrestlers, were quite the entertainment of the night.
Pretty much as soon as we got there, they suggested we see
how many people could fit into a hula hoop. Who could say no
to that? So Mer, Craig, Moss, Pete, Summer, Chris and I got
in. We walked around throughout the party until someone decided
we ought to go upstairs. That was a CHALLENGE. It took sort
of forever, but it was hilariously fun. When we got to the
top, we all felt triumphant.
That's when Moss and Craig made up their little
spanish song. It went kind of to the tune of "Hallelujah,"
and the only words were "Ohhhh, montaña! Ohhhh,
cerveza!" Hahah. I had it stuck in my head all day today.
They sang it for the rest of the night. Summer, Mer, Pete and
I
headed out at about 3:45 and walked home, where Summer and
I had some delicious frozen pizza and watched some Felicity.
