January 31st, 2005:
Highlights From Our
Official Grand Opening Party!

 
 

Needless to say, someone had to chaperone this party. Luckily for us, we had DJ James, Floor Manager Eddie, and the Partymeister himself, Benny, to provide that essential service. Not that they had any success making us behave ourselves...

 


 

Also in attendance was special guest Chuck Stanley, of KISS-FM, who helped give away lots of great prizes. However, it was obvious early on that he didn't have any t-shirts the size of your humble webmaster...

Then again, the real
special of the night was
at the Front Door!



 

DJ James leading the crowd in one of 42 observed toasts to our Grand Opening, which usually ended in some rather colorful metaphorical epithets of the 4-letter word kind towards our "distinguished competition" up the road.... ...And then there was this big beach ball, which everyone had a lot of fun with, and probably helped drink sales considering how many drinks got spilled by people trying to catch the damn thing!


 
This stunning lady kept trying to get ye humble webmaster very, very intoxinebriatedly drunk as you thunk I were. The Magnificent Zam attempts to use his powers of magic to remove ladies' clothing from well outside slapping distance! ...See if you can identify this stunning figure!


 
Throughout the night, Partymeister Benny kept the crowd literally on its toes with his patented Battle of the Stages. Considering the amount of running back and forth between our three stages Benny had to endure, we're considering petitioning to have this approved as an official Olympic event.


 
"James! Tell this gal to get off the stage!
I've run out of those Clinton condoms!"
"Oh Jeez. Sorry, guy...I didn't mean to spill your beer with that T-Shirt!"


 
"A nice pair, ma'am. However, we can't let you use those in lieu of a winning ticket stub..."


 
"Sorry, babe...you'll have to buy your own batteries for this beast!" "Ticket number is...6...6...6?? Zam? You didn't pull this out of your hat, did you?"


 
"...Lessee, this 'Official Dr. Strangelove Survival Kit' contains the following: one 45 caliber automatic, two boxes of ammunition, four days concentrated emergency rations, one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills, one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible, one hundred dollars in rubles, one hundred in gold, nine packs of chewing gum, one issue of prophylactics, three lipsticks, three pairs of nylon stockings. Shoot! A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."


 
"Hey, at least I didn't go away
empty handed this time!"
