oh the hors d'oeuvres
Last weekend was the Sleep Country Christmas party at the Holiday Inn Victoria. This is just one of the perks I get from dating a Sleep Country employee. I got treated to an evening of food, award presentations and bad jive music. On of the high-lights came early in the evening with the hors d'oeuvre presentation. Jonny spotted it and hit it fast. He returned with fruit and cheese and what he called scallops. We then went in for a closed inspection on the "scallops" only to find it was a piece of bacon wrapped around a plain old hot dog weiner with a toothpick holding it together!
Hot damn, I love bacon, and hot dogs are great too. Why have I not seen hot bacon dogs earlier in my life?? Why didn't I think about making them. What better pot luck treat, (except at a vegetarian party).
Anyways, the evening rolled on and The Christine Magee showed up. Talk about big time celebrities... If you have seen a Sleep Country ad, you have seen Christine Magee....
Well, that is Christine Magee! We met her, shook her hand and then got a drunken picture of her with us!
Well, as the evening was winding down the music seemed to be getting worse. Jon and I mock-danced a few songs, (or trying to dance), either way we probably looked like stumbling fools. I could hear good music, but it was at the next door conference room. I made a quick cameo into the Fisher-Dukes Restaurant Party and busted a move on their dance floor. It was definitely a more exciting party...
After the brief crashing of the party Jon pulled me out of there and we took off in our little yellow taxi.

I want to see this real picture you got of Sexy Magee. She looks like a politician in these overly soft-focused ones. And what was this other party for next door, and were they cool with you just crashing their dance floor?

those are the best scallops ever! I've never heard of scallops like that. what were pigs and meat byproduct doing masquerading as seafood? perhaps we'll never know. it's good to know that life is still crazy in vic-ville.

At first I thought you met The Christian Magi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magi) but meeting Christine Magee is much more exciting!
