A good time was had by most & nothing valuable was broken. Best of all, nobody fell to their death off the railingless rooftop "deck" when I hauled a gang of folks up there.
The view was better than it has been most days this week, but the fog rolled in toward the end of the afternoon. We were able to enjoy the outdoors for most of the day.
I was too busy BBQing kabobs to snap a shot of the view, but it was kinda like this but with fog instead of the smog.
This is the audience watching a hilarious puppet show (see reflection in mirror) just moments before a chair I had booby-trapped collapsed underneath one of our most beloved Kossacks.
Come below the squiggle to see more shots of the VIP guest list eating, drinking, and being merry.
maggiejean cannot believe what she just heard.
navajo & jotter also find it almost as hilarious as I did that iPad convert smileycreek keeps trying to touch my laptop computer's monitor screen and get it to do things.
Why. (JAB) Won't. (JAB) This. (JAB) Damn. (JAB) Screen. (JAB) Move. (JAB) Dammit!

One of the Kossacks pictured here was on the floor moments after this photo was taken courtesy of the balsa wood gag chair that I secretly used to replace an actual chair.

jotter comically reading the to-be-nominated-for-a-kOscar thread to the group.
trashablanca, honorary SF Kossack, makes those around him smile just by his presence. Well, that and his T-shirt with a name tag that says.
"HELLO, my name is-
Inigo Montoya.
You kill my father; prepare to die"
Hey, you you the camera! Don't you know that I AM the photo queen!?! (side pocket, smileycreek, karmsy, navajo)
U is for Uvula
AFAIK, the only attendee who did NOT have a good time was my pootie, Honey.
He was in the laundry room for most of the day hiding from the crowd.
His nemesis, a fellow member of the animal kingdom, Doobie, tried to "play with him" at one point during the party. I thought someone had fallen through the roof it made such a fracas.
The dust has settled, and Honey's nerves, however fried, are getting a much needed rest today.
