Day Eleven

Hi friends, So yesterday was the Pannikin holiday party. Such a ridiculous night. The day before, a customer came into the cafe with this crazy camera and some white card that he tried explaining to me before he realized I wasn't really paying attention. Anyway, he asked if he could take a few pictures of me, so I said okay. And I made an awkward face as he took two pictures. Then he said that he'd bring in prints for me the next day so I could have some. I said okay thank you. And that was the end of it.

Well, not really the end of it. Because yesterday afternoon, a few hours before the party, Cri tells me that a customer brought something in for me. She pulls out a huge cylinder cannister and then takes out two HUGE POSTERS of my FACE. Two posters. Really? So of course I wrap it up and submit it as my White Elephant gift for the holiday party. Best idea Ever. Really. Next time any of you go to a white elephant, just get two huge prints of your faces and put that in as the gift.

So the rest of the night was spent dancing, drinking mimosas in our PJs, eating bacon and blueberry pancakes, and finding funny places to put up the posters of my face. Now that I think about it, I really hope it's still not posted on the front window of the cafe...

If any of you have facebook, you've probably seen these pictures already. And you know what, it really isn't that funny on the computer because the scale of the pictures are so minimized...

Anyway, here are some pictures:


The bar, with Cri wearing the new Pannikin sweater and the Papa t-shirt!

Here is the poster they taped up above the dishwashing sink in the back so that it's the first thing Miguel sees when he comes in the next morning.


The video you are about to watch is what happened before the picture that follows it... In my drunkenness, I agreed to do it.

Happy early Christmas eve friends. I'm going to Day Twelve of Bikram now. Goodnight!
