Scott doing some hooping. Unbeknownst to all the party guests, Siege had cut a hole into the top of the projection screen and hidden a video camera. If you look at his right hand you'll see he's holding the remote control he was using to activate the camera and record people hula hooping from the vantage point of the screen! SNEAKY!
In the game there's a guy who throws a new hula hoop "at you" and you have to stop hula hooping and put both your arms up and lean in order to "catch" it. It's fun.
A couple days after the party, we all received an email from him with a link to a surprise video he'd edited together with all the clandestine hula hooping video he'd shot. It. Is. Amazing. My favorite part is the highlight reel of everyone throwing their hands up and leaning that starts around the 1:45 minute mark (right after Siege does the "white man's overbite") and just keeps getting better. (PS - Make sure you check out Ellen's sideways "tit-sway" at 2:14. Amazing.)
It was afterhours at this point, but since it was a real quiet night, the bartender told us we could hang for a bit and he locked the place up. This guy was the only other place in the bar so we agreed to play some Big Buck together.
Deb and Tom! These are Rachael's awesome parents that I grew up down the street from. Tom was trying the game for the very first time and Jodee's explaining how it works to Deb.
Then a couple songs later, Meredith, KT and Siege joined the party and we all nerded out together. Just cuz you're getting married doesn't mean you gotta grow up or anything! Thanks to everyone for keeping the surprise a secret and for coming out to help me surprise Meredith! It meant so much to have so many people we love be there to share that huge moment in our lives!
Before hitting the rides, my little brother and me decided to warm up first by playing a little Dance Dance Revolution (which was a bold choice on our part considering it was daylight and the machine was outside). Check out my little dancin' dino arm!
Back in the living room, everyone's sore fingers made the executive decision that it was time for a game change! Wii Tennis! I'm pretty sure it was Emily who was manning my camera, because suddenly the photos go from action shots of us playing Wii Tennis...
I hadn't not had a day job in a while, so it was nice to have a chance to catch up with the rest of the kids who have somehow figured out to avoid the nine-to-five chains. On Wednesday morning, Posh came over and we played Xbox until early afternoon.
