Party No. 4

The fourth big-time themed party came and went, and it was a huge success. The Spring Cleaning Swap Meet was centered on the premise that while it would be great fun to have all our friends over to our apartment for a party, it'd be even more fun if they brought something cool to trade with the other guests. Some of the items (and I can't come close to recounting all the gear) brought to trade included : shirts, hats, scarves, belts, ugly sweaters, a water balloon launcher, a nice ski jacket, salt and pepper shakers (traded separately), cowboy hats, cowboy hats with fake fur, tin foil, tin foil hats, home-brewed beer, bottle rockets, a bike pump, candle sticks, a barbecue skewer set, a laptop case, a stuffed toy goat, a gift basket with soaps and shampoo, a bamboo musical instrument from Bali, a Chairman Mao watch, a bottle of wine, a carton of wine, and much else...

I think the pictures below of Higs, myself, JLew, and Loco capture the spirit of the party, with JLew and I swapping a smooch. Much was traded that night, and everyone went home with something cool to show for it. (That's not to say that JLew and I went home together...) All in all the whole thing was a big success.
