I gave her step by step instructions and stepped back to try to capture an action shot. Less than a minute later, BLAMO! Check out the action shot I managed to capture of Amanda cutting the bottle top clean off!
I peeled the label off a bottle of champagne and announced that I was going to try to use a knife to "saber" the bottle (cut the top off of it!). Grant taught me how to do it back in July of 2006, and it's been my go-to "party trick" ever since! Right as I was warming up, Amanda said that she wanted to try doing it!
I understood the basic principle, but was unable to get it to work the first few times I tried. (I've since gotten it down cold!) So I handed the bottle back over to Grizz and let him show off the magic!
Monday night a bunch of us went over to Sarah's to celebrate something (finishing her book?) and to have some beers and get warmed up for some pirate-themed party she and Karen were DJing at the Delancey.
...3! I missed the cork coming out of the bottle, but if look by Emily's ear you'll see that I did manage to capture it going through her hair mid-flight after it had ricocheted off the wall!
