The 2000 summer bash was held on Saturday, August 5.  The summer of 2000 keeps on ticking.  After having NO summer in 1999, 2000 has redeemed itself quite nicely thank you.  We have had lots of sun including all day during the summer bash.  Good thing, outdoor parties in the rain really suck!  As always, we eat lots of fine dining, drank lots of my latest brew (Dark Knight Porter), and hung out till about 1am.  Not bad!

Something new this year was the introduction of the volley ball net.  A big hit.  Well over a dozen people including my lovely wife spent countless hours smacking that silly ball back and forth over, under, and through the net.

The Partiers
Shop Talk Left to right; Scott, Beth, Bob, Lisa, Michael

Can't leave work at work when you are in the Internet biz.  So what do you do at a party?   Eat, drink, and talk shop.  Hey why not!
Now what could Lisa see in this big lug?  They actually are a very cute couple.  Couple of what? Aug11_12.jpg (28233 bytes)
Aug11_16.jpg (29921 bytes) Lynn looks at Debra.  Debra looks at me with wondering eyes.  Like why am I here lord.
Some guys have all the luck.  Stewart is on a lucky streak.  Back to back years now he has been able to get the same lady from the local rent a wife agency.  Hum, maybe Debra is really his wife.  Na, can't be, she's too cute. Aug11_17.jpg (33068 bytes)
Aug11_18.jpg (30021 bytes) The Cowans.  Nice folk.  They just moved up here from the Arkansas area.  They are recovering from a serious attack of housing sticker shock.
A new tradition is born. Two years ago I introduced Lynn to Tequila.  She loved it.  Last party I introduced her to Irish whiskey.   She loved it.  This party I introduced her to a Black Russian.  No, no, not an immigrant, the drink.  SHE REALLY REALLY LOVES IT!!! Aug11_20.jpg (23491 bytes)
