Parties, parties everywhere!
August 05, 2006 ()
TakomaHouse has thrown its first official party, and it was good. We served up margaritas, beer, and sangria, and had fire spinners and a DJ for parts of the evening.
It went well, though I crashed out early. Initial forays have not revealed any widespread damages, though my old laptop power supply (the external part, thankfully) is kaput and I'm seeking out a replacement. I guess that this answers my question of whether I'm taking a laptop to Nicaragua, tho! (My main laptop/desktop replacement is still fully functional, but I can think of smarter things than lugging my poorly-backed-up life and media around with me, when it's also a high-value item.)
Last weekend was a whirlwind Texas tour to see my parents, install their new shiny computer, and attend Farm Party XII ("Casual Dodecadence"). FPXII was laid back, but excellent. The new heat-reflective tiles for the dome worked wonders, and my hammock (it seems to get more use in Texas than it gets in DC!) was popular. John K and I handled the Saturday grilling. He slaved over the brisket while I handled most of the rest. We prepared jerked chicken and tofu with rice-and-peas, garlic basil tofu, lemon garlic asparagus, corn, salmon steak and trout filets, as well as portabello mushrooms. All I can say is that it was all Damned Good and I was in a meat coma by the end of the day.
