TGIGF #9

This is mainly pix from the 9th Annual TGIGF Party... ...but first... ...I was looking at this thingy you can use to get stats on your website, taking a glance at where various visits came from... ...and I couldn't help but notice....

...the US Government? Should I be worried? Or pleased? Something to brag about? Or just goofus in the Department of Chicken-Feathers web-surfing on Uncle Sam's dime? Is this common? Oh well...

The photos below were mostly taken with Swamprose's camera, but probably not all by her....

Yes, we had the annual bash! A new record, it went 13 hours! 4pm-5am, though I only made it till 2:30. (Guess I'm getting on...) It was cold outside this year, so everyone packed indoors, and the place was indeed full. Here's a few brave folks who took over the barbequeing from me after the first of many batches of sausages. That's Swamprose swinging the tongs, Chris, Jonathan & another guy....

Below: A variety of jolly folks....

Below: In the BG... ...Alexander in a very characteristic gesture, talking to Dinah...

and an odd shot of Al with Mike in the BG...

...and the Musicians were there....

...they'd already filled one room so a second musical group formed in a second room...

Below: ...a bunch of talented folks... ...Jody Q. Kramer top left; she animates AND plays the dobro! Top right, Alan playing my guitar... ...then Anna, Paul, Sylvan with Cousin Kathleen, and Paul with Cousin Kathleen (she animates, too, as I have only recently discovered).

...the kitchen clock chanced to be in this photo; the party started 10 hours earlier, and would go another 3 hours....

Good Grief!
