lorelei's 30th birthday
For Lorelei's 30th birthday, Joey planned out a scavenger hunt that eventually led her over to Plant Bar where a bunch of us were waiting to surprise her!
The Birthday Girl!
Joey took Lo's senior year of high school portrait and made a button out of it. Twelve years later and she doesn't look any different!
Nina, Geneveive and Tookie.
Jack Wright is always showing off his midriff.
After a drink or three at Plant, we headed over to Il Bagatto for an Eye-tralian Birthday feast.
Birthday shots!
After our 3 hour dinner, the few of us that hadn't lapsed into pasta-induced glucose-shock, headed out for KARAOKE! Em & Lo kick things off with their classic rendition of "Steal My Sunshine."
"There was nobody." (Grant's really not this funny looking...I'm only posting this pic because I think it's neat that the words from the TV prompter showed up in the picture.)
See? There's that handsome devil (posing with an angelic-looking Tookie).
Tookie refused to sing so Joey and Lo tried to get her into it by accompanying her.
Lo and I halfway through our seven-plus minute rendition of Meatloaf's "Paradise By the Dashboard Lights."
Yeah, that's right. We're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
"You're schmoopie!"
"No! You're schmoopie! Yes you are! Yes you are!"
Tell me this doesn't look like it was taken at a white trash wedding. Sean & Emma cozy up.
Allison and many Bud cans.
Again, Grant is the motherfucking karaoke master. This night he freaked us all out with a 100% accurate Bowie impression of "Life On Mars."
The night ended prematurely when in the midst of "Copa Cabana" Lorelei shot Emma with a bolt of lightning.
