So there i am, at the start of a big christmas party, in this huge mansion that we rented for the occasion, setting up and getting ready for the hundreds of people that are coming. The house is big, big enough to have all the people stay there comfortably (cause i'ts a week long party like in the old pre-car days) with a sprawling backyard. The people that arrive are a strange cross-section of people i knew in high school, people i know now, and celebrities. When the party starts rockin, i'm operating this big 4 level bar with a few other people, except that i only took two orders, one Stella, and one Heinekin, draughts, and it seems to take me forever to get those out. First i can't find glasses, then both kegs are out, and i have to go change them, then finally i get the two beers to their new homes resting comfortably in partygoers hands. After that i call my mom and my cousin Zach, and wish them merry Christmas on my handy dandy cell phone while sitting on this giant leather couch. When i later return to the bar spot, it has changed in a jam area, and a band starts playing 'Take on Me' by A-HA. A five year old kid is playing the keyboard part flawlessly, but some girl is singing halfheartedly. So i go over and sit with them and start singing, and she winds up handing me the microphone, and we rock the song out, while watching the video (but not the real video) on a big flat screen t.v.
awesomeness.
