Fall SoWal Soiree Date

us folks sitting at home want pictures!

I want to hear more!

Glad you got to meet lots of folks Ash!

I am home...safe and sound. I got overserved on homemade Planter's Punch made by Mr. K. Left and ate crabcakes at Red Bar. Met ASH and aleo...made my night.

How did I leave earlier than any of you, and you posted before me?

:roll:

Great meeting and seeing all of you! SoWal is a beautiful place to be ...
Thanks to all of you for making it even better! Love ya'll....

Mr. Kitty attempted to escape under the cover of darkness from Miss Kitty and me on the way out, but she caught him

Mmmm, crab cakes. You really shouldn't have corrected any typos.

Glad you got out and had some funn after your stinky week.

Thanks to organicmama for easing my official entry into sowal society, and for being connected enough to wrangle us a parking space. What a nice way to spend a beautiful fall evening at the beach. I'm just sorry we arrived too late to catch the sharks.

I enjoyed meeting everyone!

NoHall I can vouch for the Choral people being nuts. You've met singinchicken. :funn:

HO. LEE. SHEEEEEEEEEIT. Don't go there, sistah. :nono1: Those people are nucking futz. I would tell you all about it, but I don't think I need to take Xanax with my Lyrica.

But I would appreciate a large delivery of pudding shots right now. I just got off the phone with a student's mama. I like mamas. I like parents. I've always liked parents and have gotten along with them beautifully.

I don't have the wherewithal to discuss this right now, either (A.D.D. break: I'm very excited that "wherewithal" made it past my spell checker!) but I just got off the phone with a CRAZY mama. She ended up calling my voicemail back to tell me that she was calling the po-po... When I called my boss, he said not to worry about it. The police has been to the school before. (I love my bosses.)

All this to say that I shoulda gone to the beach this weekend. I love you peeps.

Don't tell me. Was the parking lot in front of a pink house? Just a guess.

You psychic sowaller.

Yay! I am the first to post after actually being there.
Met many incredible people. Shark cruising the beach for an hour. Grayt fire!
Shelly was a no-show. Grrr...so was Smiling Joe, both of whom I was looking forward to meeting.
I wish my brain could remember all who I met. I'll try:

Miss Kitty, Sunspotbaby, Riverotter, Aleonard, Hop, Uncle Timmy, Bobby J, DD, Franny, IBD, Kitlit, Romeosmydog. I am sure I missed a few and I apologize. My brain just doesn't save those particular cells.
Saw BB, but she must have been busy early and then I never saw her again. Wanted to thank her for putting this all together.

Just wait until he reads that he was here.

We so enjoyed seeing people we already knew plus meeting some new faces. What a great bunch of people, all interesting in their own way!

The beach was heavenly beautiful. It was delightful to see Bobby J casting his net and his children getting so excited about the little fishies. And the sunset was absolutely gorgeous.

Sorry we left early and missed seeing some of you, but couldn't miss kickoff of the Gator game.

Thanks BB for organizing this!

Just wait until he reads that he was here.

He WAS there as was GB and the little Otters!

It was a beautiful night and a fantastic gathering!

Sorry we didn't make it last night . The LittleOtters were tired and you know how it is. Hope to see y'all at the next one

I fell asleep in the bathtub and couldn't make the opening, and just drove to Grayton a bit ago but drove right back out, it is a mad house. Hope y'all are having fun.

eldodo - we missed you! but at least I got to see you earlier at the book signing.

however... the skunky and punzy were both mia last night - don't think they have ever missed a soiree - you were both missed - and we did talk about you and decided we would have to give you hail!;-)

Mr. Kitty attempted to escape under the cover of darkness from Miss Kitty and me on the way out, but she caught him

omg - wish I had seen this.

every soiree is different and this one was as special as ever. the evening started with the finest weather and a spectacular sunset and progressed into a perfect night with so many wonderful old and new friends. Shaken did not disappoint - the pudding shots were awesome. I love that we also have non-posting sowallers (they aren't even lurkers) who always join us at the soiree (we give them sowal names anyway - you can't arrive at the soiree with a normal name like "carol" - just does not work).

I feel blessed to know this group of folks. loved seeing every single friend.

thanks franny and canuck for the perfect bonfire.

stop.

the otters were definitely there. so funny that whenever I introduced River Otter to someone they didn't believe it was him, they thought he was SJ or Kurt.

I am sure I am leaving some people out, please forgive me...

afunn: why didn't we just go the hail to bed when we got home????? its franny's fault. and DD is in trouble for bailing on us.

Aw, I'm so sorry I missed it! I couldn't get out of work for this one!

I missed y'all big time last night. Glad to hear everyone had a funn time!

It's Extreme Turdle....with a "D" Afunn....get it right...

I was wishing I had a camera to capture the little organicmama kiddies with their icing faces - they were munching out on some orange halloween cupcakes!!! adorable.

Geo's dog (what is her name - Emma?) was one of the most fun people I met. she was too adorable.

This is for Miss Kitty!:funn:View attachment 10516

you're in big trouble little missy!

you're in big trouble little missy!

yes. the spud slut shall be getting a citation from the wench committee, along with punzy and skunk. some people we just can't do without.

I'm glad everyone had a good weekend and the weather held out for y'all.
I haven't left the house since I got home Friday night after .38 Special.
I felt it coming on Friday night and told KitLit and Swafia I might not make it to the beach and sure enuff,
I never made it off the couch... much.:sick:
There will be other funktions.
I'm sure I saw another fellow Sowalian Friday night, but can't place him to save my life. He stood right smack in front of me most of the night.

Did anyone else go to that Indian Summer Seafood & Whine Fiaso?
$5 to park.
$20 to get in and for what, I'm still not sure.
$24 for 6 beers. (not for me, I had company!)
$12 for a seafood platter from a local establishment that could have been a take out order from Capt. D's.
All that to hear .38 Special finally sing "Hold on Loosely" at 11pm, which I already had on an extended live version in the car.:angry:

Yes I'm still miserable and cranky this morning, but it makes me feel good to know that y'all were able to meet up for your various funktions and have a grayt time.

I don't even want to talk about the LSU debacle....
