The (Last) 12 Days of DC

In the words of my pseudo big brother, I will soon be "joining a fledgling high-tech company, riding it to the top, selling out and completing [my] transformation into a corporate bulldog." So both in honor and direct avoidance of these events, we thew a party. One last chance to dance, party, and drink with the DC Young Professionals. One last chance to reminisce about songs I used to dance to...

5 handles of liquor.
4 magnums of wine.
3 bottles of champagne.
2 Kegs.
And 1 girl happily passed out at 1:30 AM. (Yes, she made it past midnight!)

Yes, 40 of my closest friends (and then some?) showed up to send me off to SF with a headache.
Yes, I wore an "I [heart] DC" shirt.
Yes, I drank too much champagne.
Yes, I had mascara streaks down my cheeks, for I did cry at the end of the night.
Yes, a few of the guys sang "Afternoon Delight" to me to try cheer me up.
No, I don't remember any of it.

Which means, it was a great party. We did dance. And we did drink. And we certainly did party. Although I never got around to showing everyone all the dances I used to do...

Lucky for all of you, I haven't been effective in planning my cross country drive. So I still have one more weekend in DC. I've got my costumes ready and my drinking face is still in the GAME ON position.
