Og Fest - The Beginning

Wow.

I gotta say, it was a pretty flippin' good weekend.

Og Fest 2007. In the books. And I don't mean just the jail bonds man's book either.

It was a VERY good time.

Friday afternoon folks startin' arriving. Well, SOME PEOPLE got in a bit earlier and sent wicked funny text messages out to we locals. Damn - it's probably a good thing I didn't see that til the next mornin'! The image of Zonker runnin' wild at Midway Airport chasin' midgets would have caused nightmares!!!!

Anyway - we gathered at the bar in the Holiday Inn and decided that the perfect place for dinner was one of the local microbreweries. I mean, seriously, with this group? Perfect.

The crew included T1G, Contagion, KTreva, BloodSpite, Og, Oddy, Zonker, _Jon, and myself. Joining us were Harvey and TNT. A motley crew to be sure.

Much drinking, yummy food and laughter ensued. It's amazing to me that we didn't get tossed out, what with the flashing and lewd behavior. Especially since we were in with the general population. But I'm thinkin' it was the size of that bar tab that pushed them into keepin' us. Really. I'm pretty sure it was a record night for this place.

Headed back to the hotel and settled into the suite for some socializing. Leslie, Shoe and Redneck made it and the party was ON!!!! Lucky for those on that floor EVERYONE was in a party mood so we didn't push any wrong buttons.

Saturday some of the folks headed out shooting, while some of the ladies headed to the shops. Me? I had a few errands to run.

So Zonker and I headed out to put the final pieces in place for the Roast that evening.

Now - it's time I 'fess up. The Roast had been in the planning for a year. A full year. It was supposed to be a surprise for T1G's birthday. However, in true Tammi fashion, I let the cat out of the bag about a week before the event. I had been so damned proud of myself - and then.......damn. It just figures.

Anyway, I drag Zonker to purchase balloons and a few things for the shindig. Then, I did something I've never done before. Ever. In my whole life.

I took a man bra shopping with me. Zonker. I took Zonker bra shopping with me. WTF was I thinking?

Now, he was completely cool with it. I, on the other had, was embarrassed beyond belief. You see, I wasn't looking for a normal bra. I needed one for a deep cut, backless dress. Needless to say, I couldn't find one.

So I call my posse. The ladies. The ladies at the outlet mall. They found something, but it just wasn't going to work. But Oddy? Yeah, thank you for tryin'......

Yeah, that plan? Not one of my better ones. In my defense, I had a lot on my mind.

ANYway......we get back to the hotel and it was just about time to get ready.

The Roast? Yeah, that story will have to wait until later.......
