House Warming Party - 11 Jun 2005

House Warming Party - 11 Jun 2005

Beth and I moved into our new house in May; it took us about a month to get everything together well enough to actually have a housewarming party. But when it did happen - whoo, boy! The attendance was great (60+ people), the weather was good, everybody seemed to have a good time, and several days later we're still eating the desserts.

It was the kind of party that affirms your existance in the world. I loved it.

Laughing Missy
Missy was the first to show up, which meant of course that I had to get new shots of her. 		James and Chuck
It was cool to have the two of them come from Davenport... 		Danielle and Mom
Beth's old roommate was down with her Mom, who also got to enjoy things with the old folks... 		Jaimee
One of Danielle's best friends, and one of our house painters, it's been nice to get to know her.
Raché and Lance
She was really proud to be able to leave him on a couch for fifteen seconds unattended. 		Lance
The major goal of this was to get pictures, of course... 		Paul and Rosemary
They were only there for an hour or so, but they seemed happy to see the place. 		Dad and Lance
Dad *loves* playing with little kids.
Dad and Lance, II
I'm glad he hasn't harassed me over-much about being a grandfather yet. 		Piles O'Food
Yes, there was plenty to eat. 		Rob
Beth's little brother was a large portion of the reason for the party. He definitely enjoyed it. 		Jacen Burrows
Our favorite local comic artist seemed to enjoy the whole event. (And I think he'd apprecaite it if this picture had a higher Google rank than the last one.)
Grace
I've known her for years, but Beth is actually close to her. 		DB, Baby, and Beer
Lance's second beer, at least... heh. 		Eva
She felt guilty for getting there late, given that she'd already been early! 		Jen
I don't know how often I should repeat it: I love that my friends came from all-over-the-place to come to this thing.
Andrew and Nicole
Andrew and Nicole came from Indy... 		Jimpy
Jimpy and Jen from Kankakee... 		Tamira
Tamira from Carbondale... (I hadn't seen Tamira for *years*. It was cool that she could show up...) 		Deanna
...and Deanna came from...alright, probably across town.
Deanna and Jon
She's one of Jon and Sarah's roommates. 		Eva and Lance
Eva really enjoyed posing with the kid. 		Helen
Helen really needs to go out in public more. 		Bryan and Helen
If nothing else, the face that she talked with Bryan for most of her stay is a good indication of that.
Fish Mat
Margaret and Bridget got us this wonderful house addition. The cats love it now... 		Mingling Folk
Most of the mingling went on outside; I can't believe it was nice enough to allow this. 		Sarah and Sean
More late-comers, from Chicago. 		Rob
Rob manned the barbecue the whole time - his BBQ, too. I think we were all thankful...
Jim, Liam, and Wendy
Jim's one of my co-workers; Liam is Eamon's son; and Wendy is one of the BTCU crowd. That's a random assortment, aff? 		Street Frisbee
I made no disclaimers to not do this, so I was stuck allowing the danger. Heh. 		Sarah Ibis
Who had lent her that shirt? Beth? 		Missy and Sarah
Catching up; how is it my friends do see each other much, anyway?
Tony
He should really get himself to town more often. 		Eva Gang
The old gang, together again. I still feel bad that I missed Sean's BBQ a couple of weeks later. 		Tunji
It's always amazing when he comes out in public. 		Tunji and Eva
I will forever be shocked at how well Tunji photographs.
Group Shot
I actually gathered people together for it! I'm still shocked... (L-R, top-bottom: Christina, Jacen, Sean, Tony, Darren, Josh, Rob, Jimpy; Pat, Ella, Dan, Toly, Dave, Mike, Stuart, Nicole, Andrew, Raché, Lance, Eamon, Jen; Bryan, Shaun, Karen, Vered, Sarah, Missy, Beth; Hannah, Eva, Tim). 		Group Shot, II
Admittedly, it was only about half of the people from the party. (L-R, top-bottom: Jacen, Tony, Darren, Josh, Mike, Rob, Sarah, Sean, Jimpy; Christina, Dan, Toly, Mike, Nicole, Andrew, DB, Eamon, Jen; Ella, Shaun, Dave, Stuart, Raché, Lance, Liam, Beth; Pat, Bryan, Hannah, Karen, Eva, Vered, Sarah, Missy, and Tim) 		Group Shot Dispersing
..and so they wander off again, to continue having fun. 		Lance Rides Daddy
That's a cute little smile...
Beth and Anna
Anna showed up late; but this picture is good! 		Beth and Anna, II
Beth looked better in this shot, though. 		Barry
Another late arrival. 		Jacen and Alena
Jacen's too busy paying attention to his own work to look at the camera.
