That was one hell of a party!

- July 30th, 2007: Hung over and sleep deprived, Lank & anna one load up a truck and head north. Got a really late start because the people at budget were suffering from acute auto-cranial-rectal insertion.

truck123395.jpgSpecial Note: Lank seriously injured his left foot at the party while attempting a dance move that was far too difficult for the massive state of intoxication in which he found himself. So the moving, up and down stairs, with boxes packed heavily enough to give the impression that they belonged to giants of old, and with only the amazing anna to help, all had a special pain flavor to it. Still not completely recovered from that sprain.

- July 31st, 2007: Since we didn't get in until 2am the night before, we unpacked Tuesday afternoon, after I had a job interview.

Emperor Norton I's grave, eh? If anyone ought to be dug up and brought back to life...
Best case scenario, we get Emperor Norton back (although, I'd hate to interrupt his nap). Worst case: Zombie Norton.
Win win.
