...summon Leila back up onstage to accompany him with some "rock slut" dancing during his amazing version of the classic Mr. Big metal ballad "To Be With You."
Jamie Kirkpatrick brough some delicious birthday Pocky! (For those of you not in tha know, Pocky is a brand of all these different flavored cracker sticks that are usually dipped in something delightful. Grant's shown holding the mint-chocolate variety here).
Jamie and I were quick to follow. Mad props to Jamie - homeboy survived testicular cancer was brave enough (or drunk enough - probably a bit of both) to take out his one ball! (Stop looking! You can't tell).
Here's Jamie singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" - and somewhere in the middle of the song, someone just handed me the most memorable children's toy in recent years...The Giant Hulk Fist.
Jamie, Jen and Emily. Real quick, y'all should know that I met Jamie and Jen because of this site! (Jamie googled a former co-worker of his and found pic of her on this site - after he read through it, he found pictures of Laurie Choi! So emailed me and was like "You don't know me, but we have friends in common and we should hang out! PS - I'm not gay!")
Ok, if you look at everyone's eyes in this pic, you'll start to see that this is the point in the night where things started getting a little out of hand. (People were making similar expression back two fateful August ago, and we all know what happened THAT night.) Clockwise from top: Jen, Jamie, Laurie, Mark (and some scary guy in the background who looks like the Hispanic Charles Manson).
