This is my 16th birthday. I wanted
something BIG. So I decided to rent a room in one of my
dad's clients restaurant, and have a private party with my
friends and my sisters friends. This would turn out to be
quite the mixer to start many relationships.
|
|
This is me and my sister in front of the cake.
|
|
Here my friend Erik tries his luck at air singing. I
suppose they call that lip syncing now. hahahaha.
What posers we were....
|
|
And here is Gordie Birch trying his luck at the mic.
Yeeaaaa.....
|
|
Here is a picture of Ron dancing with Gina. I think Ron
had an infactuation with her.
|
|
Well, maybe I was right. Ron did have a thing for Gina. I
believe this is a picture of Gina when Ron tried to sneak
under the table cloth of a table near the dance floor and he
tried to position the camera under her dress. The bit of
white on the left edge is the table cloth.
|
|
This is Gordie. This poor picture was shot outside at
night without a flash. I remember there was a blue bin
dumpster in the back which a couple guys got up on to and
jumped off as we were trying to take pictures of mid-air
Bruce Lee kicks. Ahhh, such posers..
|
|
Good ol crazy Andrew tries to out do Gordie at this
attempt. And finally a group shot with Gordie, Andrew and
Steven Kazmir . What a bunch of nuts.
|
|
Steven Kazmir, Andrew Coates and Ron trying to build the
limbo line. That is one thing about Andrew and parties. He
has a way of really livening up a party. Second picture has
the limbo master himself going under the bar of Marty and
Steven. LIMBO! LIMBO!!
|
|
Here we have Steven Kazmir and Dave Ducharme trying to do
Michael Jackson's Coke commerical moonwalk. Note the floor
has this white streaky powder on it? The floor stuck so much
we had thrown all the sugar and salt on the dance floor so
we strut. I never heard any complaints from the restaurant
but I imagine they were not happy to discover this
afterwards.
|
|
This is a picture of Ron beside Kelly Goodall. What a
funny fellow this chap is.
|
|
I suppose with a dance floor, that would promote one to
get on the floor and dance. I unfortunately didn't get any
pictures of my dad getting on the floor. He invented a dance
by doing Tai-Chi excerises to music. Maybe that is what
touched off Andrew and crew with jumping off the dumpster...
|
|
Speaking of parents, yes, they were watching us. Probably
thought we were nuts, but they didn't interfere with our
fun. Here pictured from right to left is my mom, grandmom
and the owner of the Maple Leaf restaurant.
|
|
Here is shot of primarily my sister's friends. Staring
with my sister, is Holly, Kris and Martina.
|
|
And you can dance if you want to...
This is a famous line from the Safety Dance from Men
Without Hats. And here I am doing the SAFETY DANCE!!
|
|
Ok, our premier art band performance. Erik on Guitar,
Marty on drums and Andrew on vocals doing Platinum Blonde,
"It Doesn't Really Matter". And you know what, these guys
aren't blonde... You know what, it doesn't really matter!
|
|
Alright, Erik stays on the guitar with his imitation of
Eddie Van Halen. And the next frame shows just how well he
was received...
hhahaa, just joking, Gordie didn't really hit Erik with
the guitar but those guys did stage the shot pretty good!
|
|
This is my attempt at the air guitar. If you are
wondering, I do believe this use to be Erik's electric
guitar. It had 5 of its 6 strings and the mike jack was
totally wrecked. However, at this party, it was a great
prop.
|
|
Andrew says "HUH?" as he is dazed and confused at the mic
table.
|
|
This story has a happy ending. Marty from my side, and
Gina from May's side did meet and solidify their
relationship and after many hurdles and hardships, they did
eventually marry each other.
