what I learned at the dogwood festival this year:

– It is possible to drink for 12 hours straight and be alright.
– Lori’s buffalo chicken dip stuff is the food of the gods. I want that recipe.
Do not leave children unattended. Seriously. They may find, and start drinking, alcohol.
– I am not the only person that is OCD about clean hands.
– Some of the art at the festival is actually cool.
– You too can get yourself air brushed.
– It’s actually superheros that kill fire ants.
– Midnight blue doesn’t only ryhme with purple shoe; it is a purple shoe.
– Shh… we are seceding.
– Threadless shirts rule. Everyone has them; at least, the cool everyones.
– Watch the ground, you may find money.
Free koozie = awesome. Thanks Dave!
Jumping on a trampoline may seem innocuous at first, but someone inevitably gets hurt (sorry Brian!; I really do feel bad!).
– I think I may have torn something in my knee. (see trampoline related injuries)
– You too can be embarrassed because you are outside having a stupid argument with your boyfriend on the phone while everyone else is inside playing Cranium. Weirdness. Sorry guys.
– Playing charades is awesome; and frequently hard. Especially if you are drunk.
– I think I drank like 90 beers yesterday. AND, that totally massive rum and coke; seriously, it was made in a Nalgene for crying out loud.
– And last be certainly not least; blogging is cool because it has allowed me to make friends with some of the coolest people ever.

So, we will do this again soon, right? We don’t need no stinking dogwood festival as an excuse!!

    Stop apologizing for breaking my face. It’s mostly my fault, anyway.

    alright alright… but I still feel bad. If I wasn’t all, “See!! It’s SOOOOO easy… just flip like this…”, then you probably wouldn’t have done it!

    I am so sad about missing the Dogwood Festival this year. Boooo!

    Your photos are awesome, though. I really like “Flower framed friends.”

    Threadless t-shirts are the best. My favorite one is the one with a clown puking rainbows into a toilet (because it’s classy). All of mine have nicknames (”secret agent hotdog”). : )

    cool , seems like you guys had a fun time, with the exception of the argument during cranium,which I can imagine is pretty hard to play when drunk .Oh ..and the trampoline incident

    Glad you had fun, sunshine. I was going to drag my brand new cut & colored hair self down there, but I desparately needed a nap…

    ScottK - Cranium is the BEST drunk. Me & some friends played it one night and decided to set up the video camera and tape everything. I don’t think there is anything funnier than watching someone who is so drunk that he has to ask people to be reminded of how to hum!

    I had so much fun, guys! Y’all are welcome over any time!

    12 hours? OMG I would be puking my guts up. Yeah…a fun and happy drunk, but I’m a lightweight.
