Sexy Santa Bailout Party

The Package Stimulator

Of the many functions that Kathy & I attend during the holiday season, one of the most eclectic, crazy, and fun parties of the year is the annual birthday party of our creative and wacky friend Rick Keith. This year's theme was a topical holiday/financial crisis themed Sexy Santa Bailout Party. Held aboard the beautiful and intriguing houseboat where he lives with co-builder and roommate Steve King.

These guys are the creative and industrious boat builders who are responsible for our Fantasy Fest float each year as well as our one of a kind bathroom that we added to our home a couple of years ago.

Rick's party was extra special this year thanks to the presence of two of our close friends who have returned to their former home for a vacation from their Colorado home. Bruce & Kerry Darby are here from Estes Park and it was like a throwback party with them in attendance.

In fact the fact that Bruce & Kerry were in town seemed to bring out all the old time Key Westers to the party and we saw a lot of folks we rarely see out anymore. It was tremendous fun. Rick (& friends) created a most interesting machine, The Package Stimulator, which caused quite a sensation as partygoers took their chances getting stimulated hilarious fashion.

Of course, it made for a late night, as well as having the requisite hangover inducing plethora of beer and mixed drinks. It was all worth it though- for the opportunity to celebrate with Rick and all his (and our) wonderful and eclectic friends and the chance to hang out once again with the Darbys in Key West. We make an annual pilgrimage to see them each August in Estes Park where we attend the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest and dine at the wonderful restaurant that they own, The Rock Inn.

The holiday season isn't about to let up soon and we have a crazy schedule throughout the weekend and beyond. I'll try my best to keep the blog updated.
