Recruit Love Xmas

Well, another Xmas season is upon us, and the unofficial kick-off for the season is the annual Recruit party at The Urban Well located in Sandy Hill, Ottawa.

This year, since T-bone has moved out into the suburbs, I decided to host the pre-party. The annual T-Boniums were legendary and I was nervous about the pressure that would be placed upon me to recreate the same level of adequateness.

The secret to throwing a good recruit party, is to invite as many non-recruits as possible. This year was no exception as Erin G. invited her friends Jill and Sara M. to come up to enjoy possibly the finest party in the Nation's Capital.

The pre-party officially kicked off at 5pm. Purdy and Wes came over somewhat earlier, and Uhrback and Heidi were the first non-mechanicsville guests to arrive! They brought some cheese sticks for us to eat later in the evening...a stellar choice!

I think the official numbers for the party peaked at 21 people, so things were pretty tight in my tiny apartment but everyone seemed to get along pretty well and no fist fights broke out. The only fight was between Uhrbach and some dishes in my sink...but I think he came out on top of that one.

We had a great time, but at 9pm the taxis were called to whisk us away to the Urban Well. That was also fun, except the DJ was rags. I dont really know much about DJing, but the ladies I roll with seemed to think he was no good, so I will stand by that opinion.

Well, that is enough typing for me...I will include the link to the pictures...so you can re-live the fun!
