Lorelei's 30th Birthday

For Lorelei's 30th birthday, Joey planned out a scavenger hunt that eventually led her over to Plant Bar where a bunch of us were waiting to surprise her!

The Birthday Girl!

Joey took Lo's senior year of high school portrait and made a button out of it. Twelve years later and she doesn't look any different!

After a drink or three at Plant, we headed over to Il Bagatto for an Eye-tralian Birthday feast.

After our 3 hour dinner, the few of us that hadn't lapsed into pasta-induced glucose-shock, headed out for KARAOKE! Em & Lo kick things off with their classic rendition of "Steal My Sunshine."

"There was nobody." (Grant's really not this funny looking...I'm only posting this pic because I think it's neat that the words from the TV prompter showed up in the picture.)

See? There's that handsome devil (posing with an angelic-looking Tookie).

Tookie refused to sing so Joey and Lo tried to get her into it by accompanying her.

Yeah, that's right. We're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.

Tell me this doesn't look like it was taken at a white trash wedding. Sean & Emma cozy up.

Again, Grant is the motherfucking karaoke master. This night he freaked us all out with a 100% accurate Bowie impression of "Life On Mars."

The night ended prematurely when in the midst of "Copa Cabana" Lorelei shot Emma with a bolt of lightning.
