When we left our story, it was Saturday afternoon. After the chili potluck we headed home to chill for an hour or so and then headed out to Cary for Lisa and Jason's "we don't need no stinkin' rehearsal dinner." (OK, that's maybe not exactly what they called it... but it was close). Anyway, it was in a shelter bldg @ Umstead Park. Which I heard at some point that night, had been constructed by the WPA. It did have that 1930s rustic style about it. And that would explain why there were all these signs about no candles, no balloons, no piñatas.
So... Nice space. Nice park (I'd never been before). Catering by Q Shack (brisket, pork, chicken and ribs... yum!). Hanging out with Xta, Mary, Steph, Stephanie, S & D, Lisa's family, Jason's family. Oh yeah, and smores prepped in the fireplace. How can you tell when your marshmallow is toasted enough? When it's en fuego.. Big ups to Xta for the suggestion to sub out the choco bar for Nutella in the smores construction phase.
FABulous.
And then we came home and started watching season 5 of Project Runway on DVD.
