Lars and the Real Hottub

Tonight I was fortunate enough to attend Lara & John's joint birthday party at their lovely Welland home. They had a hot tub brought in for the occasion, there was karaoke (though a malfunction prevented much singing) and there were jello shots of many flavors. It was, by any standard, a great time.

Highlights of the evening include:

A group of punk ass kids playing basketball in the streets, while listening to obnoxious music through the open back door of a circa 1980s white cube van. They were pretty harmless, except that Ann ended up moving her car when she mistakenly thought that they were telling her to.

Lara's Axl Rose impression.


re-discovered NKOTB tape, which prompted childhood reminiscences (and a brief dance routine.)

Delicious food (including "Rose City Pizza.")

Lara in a bikini!

Who could ask for anything more?
