you know a party's gonna be good when the evite alert says: "it's my birthday. drinks, dinner, drinks, dessert, drinks, karaoke, and drinks.":))) then you open the evite and find you'll be dinning at: MODERN STEAK, then heading to karaoke at: GEISHA A GO GO. oh, and it's adults only! so, joshua and i left the boys with my parents in yarnell and headed to phoenix. (thank you g'pa and g'ma batt) we brought espen down with us. my sister picked us and espen up at our house and dropped us off at the restaurant. we were SO ready for the party. he had been looking forward to it for weeks!
the birthday boy, CHUCKIE, and his beautiful wife and dear friend, SHANNON.
i only had TWO MARGARITAS. one before dinner and one during, but they must have kept me so busy that i didn't think to take any pictures until we sang chuckie happy birthday, right before we left. that's so unlike me. i wish i had a picture of my lobster chowder served in a mini "all clad" pot and my heavenly sea bass entree. i also missed a shot of our trio of desserts. one lemon, one peanut butter, and one strawberry. oh well. they were delish!
they hired a shuttle to take us to our next location. we're off to geisha a go go. it was fun chit chatting with torrey and tonya & sean and katie on the ride over.
joshua dived right into picking a song.
chuckie got the party started with bowie's "ziggy stardust".
joshua was next with joan jett's "i love rock and roll."
singing.

the other guy on the mic, david, was pretty awesome!
i only had one more margarita, but poured myself a few SAKI'S. i was feeling pretty good, but not courageous enough to sing into a microphone. i can be heard on every darn video i took though, so i'm never gonna post any here. hahaha! nothing can stop joshua from singing and as you can see here, he too is having a fantastic time!
awe...GOOD FRIENDS!
"another one bites the dust."
this was so cute! danielle, whom i just met, but loved, was super embarrassed about her husband signing. he rocked it though.
air guitar.
when the party was over joshua and i took a cab home. our cabbie had the radio on barely audibly, but i could tell butthole surfers "PEPPER" was playing. i told him i used to love that song, so he turned it up! woo hoo. karaoke continued on the way home. now i can't get the song out of my head. i remember loving the video too so i watched on youtube when i got home:) music has always been important to me and i loved hanging out tonight with others who love it just as much as i do!!!They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes
*just a snippet of "pepper" by the butthole surfers.
