Whelp, there ‘ya have it…Ozzfest 2007 has come and gone!
I think yesterday was a pretty successful day. Especially considering how many people we had here and that previously the max amount of friends we’ve had over at one time was maybe SIX or so….
I know every host/hostess feels this way afterwards, but I still wish that I could have had a little more time to spend chatting with my friends. Not that I am AT ALL complaining about being behind the bar all night!! I had a BLAST mixing drinks 
I’m thinking that if I can’t get myself in good enough shape to seriously check out the personal trainer route…then I’m definitely gonna have to opt for bartending instead!
I thought all of the kids were GREAT! And Munchie was perfect! We had a little trouble getting her to bed for the night, but thankfully she had no problem being passed off from one person to another while ‘Mom’ was busy keeping everyone’s glasses full!
I loved, loved…LOVED getting to spend some time with my buds Busted and Em’ers before and after the party. It was awesome to see how happy you guys are together and for the four of us to be able to chill out and chat for a little while. Both of you are ALWAYS welcome in our home!!! And we will definitely need to start conditioning Munchie for our eventual BekOhMunch Road Trip!!
As for the aftermath, it wasn’t bad at all. I cleaned the downstairs bathroom after everyone had left and everything was cleaned up and put away pretty quickly. This morning, we cleaned off the deck and I spot cleaned the floors. By 10:30 AM the house was pretty much back in order. Unfortunately, we need to replace a toilet seat?!?! The paint on it was chipped away!? And I also noticed that some envelopes and pictures were moved around!? We had a few ’strangers’ here, so I guess that sort of thing will happen…it’s still weird to me. I couldn’t imagine damaging something or going through someone’s things and NOT ‘fessing up to it!?!
Anyway…Ohio wanted to have a post-event wrap-up meeting tonight. He wanted to discuss ‘what went right, what went wrong and what can be improved for next year…because Ozzapalooza ‘08 planning starts NOW’. My husband is PSYCHO!
I hope that everyone had fun! Thank you SO much for coming and for contributing to the ‘tip jar’…Busted, Maria and I did such a kick ass job at the bar that The Teach even tossed a Canadian coin our way 
Y’all are THE BEST!
Dude you guys threw an awesome Ozzfest! We had a blast and were so happy to have been able to hang out with you guys before and after the party. I’m also excited I was able to spend some time with da Munchie who I loooovvvee and had fun not letting her try to eat the crayons
I love your friends btw they rock!!
Thanks!!! Although there are a few things we would do differently, I think it went well (Bekk, we still need to have our recap meeting while everything is still fresh!! I’ll send you an invite via lotus notes). It was really great seeing everyone, but it went by way too quick. Maybe next time we should make it a weekend festival…
Remember…Ozzfest was just the beginning….
You are fabulous hosts! It was so much fun! Thanks for including us.
NICE a full weekend festival!! Uhm you do realize that requires a mud pit and some tents?
(I fear Beks may have passed out next to her laptop in fear of a weekend festival…
What’s a festival without tents! Here’s how I see it….We have a collaborative effort amongst the group. Each couple (Ohio & Bekk, MG & Busted, Wrigs & Allman, etc…
becomes an act during the festival. Each couple would be responsible for a couple of dishes / drinks / entertainment / etc….We would “promote” the different dishes / drinks throughout the festival such as (this portion of the festival is brought to you by Wrigs & Allman)…I haven’t though of all the logistics yet but I figure we have some time….
TENTS!??! Sweet JESUS. What are you two STONED???
The mud pit could be cool
Besides, what happened to the movie themed event?? The one where everyone shows up dressed as storm troopers or jawas????
Wrigs…we loved seeing you guys!! And just so you know, your adorable shoes were the talk of the BBQ!!
“Penny Gate” is not going away anytime soon………is it.
The American people deserve to know the TRUTH!
You wouldn’t happen to know where the watch battery came from, would you????
Ohio, you rule! We are totally down for the works. I would love to attend one of your “meetings”.
The shoes are from Marshalls! Love a bargain.
Teach:
Ehhh…what’s “Penny Gate”? I must have been at the “grill” during the controversy.
Wrigs:
We can do a “live meeting” so we can all view the powerpoint presentation that Bekk puts together….let’s start planning now! Hell…let’s plan on having another “fest” at the end of summer!!!!!
Ozztoberfest is right around the corner!!!
Bring on the pumpkin beer!!
Tents, mud pits, movie themed events, cute shoes at a bargain, Ohio on the verge of acquiring a corporate sponsor…sounds like another good time!
WHY!!!!!! Why did you hafta’ go and do that!?!?!?! Now I’m craving PUMPKIN beer in JUNE >
Hhhhmmm….I wonder if they sell candy pun’kins this time of year???
I bet if you sweet talk the stock boy you’ll be able to score a bag of pumpkins….I’m pretty sure they’re all from the same shipment back in 1987.
How about some petrified caramel cream?
Ohio
It was brought to my attention that someone dropped a Canadian penny into the bartenders tip jar. Its value is practically worthless; it’s the equivalent to tossing dirt in the jar.
Well, I contributed to the tip jar three times. I gave Maria a bunch of dollars, at one point I tossed in a bunch of silver and my last contribution was an American penny to neutralize the Canadian one.
“The people” needed someone to blame and I became an easy target. There is no hard evidence that that the Canadian penny is mine. Furthermore out of all the guest there I spent the least amount of time at the bar.
I think the person that “chomped down” on the toilet seat and chipped it is to blame.
LMAO! Impressive recap of the Canadian Penny Incident!
I’m starting to think that the person who ‘chomped down’ on the toilet seat (which Ohio replaced yesterday…w00t!) is the same person who is not only responsible for the canadian penny, but also for sifting through our tax returns and leaving their PAW PRINT in the dust on an old watch box that they apparently just HAD to open…we plan on bringing this as ‘Exhibit A’ to our local police station for forensic testing!!!!
BTW - Your presence at the bar was sorely missed!!
BTW2 - I gave Maria a few bills too…sounds like she made out just as well as I did that night!!!
Busted: I was totally cracking up at your ‘87 comment…probably because deep down inside I know it’s TRUE!!!
toilet chompers are almost always a joykill.
The Teach is right. I believe it was my sticky (due to concocting many tasty beverages) finger that was quick to blame the teach for the offending penny >
My Liver sorely missed the bar to.
BTW…How did someone find your tax returns? Maybe next time you will be a little more cautious before you give people permission to freely go through your draws.
BTW II…..Busted, all the sticky fingers started pointing at the one sober guy in the joint. I felt like I was on the Duke Lacrosse team.
Is that a confession??? For yourself or someone in your party??? >
Trust me, my lesson has been learned. It’s one thing if it was someone that I was close to, but not knowing who it was makes me feel as though we were burglarized. 2nd floor is off limits to EVERYONE except overnight guests these days.
Besides, after Maria told me that your son took a 20 minute dump (like father, like son, eh?) I realized that kids shouldn’t be up there either. 2nd floor isn’t babyproofed enough for them to be left unsupervised. Ohio keeps razors, aftershave, etc. in that bathroom!!!
