It was our annual Winter Solstice Party--celebrating the shortest day of the year and something that is no doubt pagan and (hopefully) carnal (well, it IS the "longest night of the year") on the Olde Worlde Calendar. We give it an Xmas twist of course and invite our fav family entertainer Kevin Devine and Old Saint Nick him self to join us!
Here are 2 anecdotal observations I had the opportunity to ponder through the course of the packed house event:
1. Last year (this time) I sweated every teensy detail and stressed over not having enough little kids around to make it a legit family event. Turns out we did just fine, plenty of room for everyone to enjoy themselves, dance around and sing along with Kev. This year I spent a significant portion of the day stressing over how in the heck I would cram everybody in. We did. It was tight. But fun.
Wench Loves Santa2. Please, parents, even you uptight first-timers (I've been there) realize that a Party at a "Tap Room" even though labeled "family event" IS at a....BEER BAR. There is (shhhh) alcohol being served. If you cannot handle that or wish to shield your precious spawn from the fact that (shhhh) alcohol gets consumed by adults, stay away from Parties at "BEER BARS." to wit and overheard:
Woman, teeth gritted, face red, yanking squalling youngling by hand towards the front door:
"I can't BELIEVE you brought us to this PLACE. It is too crowded, there is beer everywhere and he is stressing OUT!"
Man, one assumes the one who spawned said stressing out child, while holding a nearly full 22 ounce glass of said (shhh) alcohol:
"Oh, Okay. Well you guys go on, I'll be home later."
I laughed until I cried I tell you.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
anyway, here are pix.
Hey---I know THAT guy!
