Patrick and Heather's Party Productions presents...

The 2nd Annual Interim Summer Party! Let's get HOT HOT HOT!!!!

Friday, February 2nd Stuttgart Germany...Brrrrrrr...

But through much hard labor on our part the "beach" is prepared! Bring on the bikini's!

Previously used as the bedroom, it has been transformed into a private beach. Last year one of our guests had a wee bit too much to drink and threw sand at the end of the night. That guest wasn't able to attend this year (yes we invited him) and we THOUGHT were safe. Not so. I'll be dumping sand from my shoes for weeks!

"Enjoy the buffet!" We had Jambalaya, Bar-b-qued Chicken (Patrick braved the snow covered balcony in his grass skirt for everyone's eating pleasure, thanks Patrick!) and Potatoes with Bell Peppers and Cheese (for our vegetarian friends)

Cat Tower Corner!

Everyone got "lei'd" first thing upon arrival!

So next our lovely, and in some cases overdressed, guests arrived. And to think the Spanish Girls weren't even close to being the last.

In the orange t-shirt (as opposed to David's orange coveralls) we have second timer, Klaus and his girlfriend Petra! Having attended last year Klaus knew to wear shorts. He also brought us giant Toblerone. Yeah Klaus!

"Wow, this is such a great party! They even had water wings for me so I could go in the water! Heather and Patrick really care about their guests safety." Heike explains to Carmen.

Heather takes an aerial shot of the dance floor. "Come on people! Dance! Patrick didn't spend two weeks recording our entire CD collection in MP3 format on the Cube so tonight he could transfer them over the network to the laptop, then connect the laptop through the stereo for nothing. Have a little respect for the technology here!"

Setting the trend in the beachwear competition, the host and hostess! And I'd just like to go on record as saying, it was the perfect temperature for my outfit.

 

"Yahoo! This party rocks! Don't you think Suzanne?" asked Letsa. "Um, ask me again later." replied Suzanne.

"Oh free drinks!" said the intern Theresa. David, Jennifer and Suzanne remember being interns and support Theresa in her quest.

After last year we decided we better cover our antique buffet a.k.a. the bar, in plastic. Petra Alt (center, red dress) wins the prize for longest attendance! One of the first to arrive and last to leave! Congrats Petra!

"We are professional Party Picture Actors and Actresses. Rent us to make your party look fun and exciting to the people who didn't show up!" Theresa, Letsa, Jennifer and Letsa's friends are available at affordable rates and we recommend them!

"Come on girls. Gimme some tongue" said Letsa.

"Anything for you!" said Suzanne and Theresa. After Jennifer miraculously turned into Christelle, she thought she would sit this one out.

Check out the breast shot of Patrick as he compares "beach attire" with David and Adam. In all fairness to Adam, his Hawaiian shirt and grass skirt already got shipped to the US. David is just a really creative guy and interpreted the whole "beach attire" thing in an "out of the box" fashion. That's why he's in Marketing! Go David!

"How much for the woman?" Adam tries to persuade Christelle to move to the US with him.

Sindy and Patrick after getting "lei'd". Don't they look happy?

"I've fallen and I can't reach my drink!" The unknown party guest.

Ah ha! I think I've figured out how this camera works. <flash> Arrghh! Eventually Juergen got it worked out.

"$#%@ it's hot in here!" Darragh! Watch your language. This is a family site!

David tells Sindy about his "college job" on the Valdez. "So I say to the Captain, 'I think we're about to hit something' but would he listen? No. Now I have to spend my weekends scrapping oil off of sea shells."

"If I didn't have this stupid sling I could be drinking with both hands! Oh wait, that's how I got the sling." Actually Alexandre got the sling fighting off the SAP Mafia...no I mean in his martial arts class. Dislocated shoulder. Second time in 3 months.

Man, Theresa gives everybody the tongue! A mere 16 hours later Sven dropped by to pick up the bag he left with us. His advice? "Don't drink too much." Thanks Sven!

The happy married couple. Anastasia and Eduard. Awe, how cute.

"Will you take me home? If I stay here, Heather will make me clean tomorrow." begged Patrick to Jennifer, Sindy and Suzanne. When he realized they would also make him clean their flat AND he would have to do it in the grass skirt, he stayed with Heather.

The Ladies Man! I'd say she's impressed. Way to go Darragh!Look mom, all pupil!

"For some reason in every picture taken of me, I'm surrounded by this halo of illumination. Must be capturing my purity." said Rita.

The stragglers. Darragh promised not to be the last person to leave. Oh well.

The aftermath! Really this is nothing. You should have seen last year! As usual our inventory of alcohol has increased. We are net 2 bottles of gin, 1 bottle of Pitu and 14 bottles of wine.

After rising at the unreasonable hour of noon, we set to work on cleaning. At a mere 20:30...

Party? What party?

 

Now that you have seen it happen. Take a look at our guest book!
