Big Party for Andrea Rapp's 40th

ANDREA IS 40!

My friend Jerry Rapp went big time for his wife's 40th Birthday.  The Limo picked us up and we were cruisin in style. First stop was Abuelos where some of the ladies had taken Andrea so we could pull up in the Limo and surprise her.   The beer flowed like wine (name that movie).

Back in the Limo and it was time to drive.  Everyone sat politely in the Limo and discussed current events. Not!  There's mix master Glenn serving up the juice.

Sturm and Blue were in charge of navigation since the driver's garmin was from 1992 and the maps had not been updated.  Blue brilliantly led the driver to the Covington 5th st exit and then realized it is Mayfest weekend.

Women always need group shots. Carmeras and bathrooms both require a group of women.

Some of the guys meandored over for a photo opp.  Then it was piano time.  In Newport there is a new piano bar in with the Syndicate.

The guys were playing and the ladies began to gather round the table waiting for their chance to pounce on a microphone. 

The Piano Players grabbed Andrea and put her on stage.  Since we are in Newport, no Piano bar would be complete without a stripper pole in the middle of the stage or so I have heard that is what those oddly located poles are calle :).  Andrea's a singer not a dancer so she sang along with the crowd.

I knew this place was quality because they were cranking out Dark Side from Eddie and the Cruisers.  Who knows the movie?

Next was Andrea's turn to lead the room in Joy to the World.  Name that band? Anyone? Anyone?



Feeling the need to proper wind down this night and send our friends off to Texas on the right note, Jill and I ran next store and returned with...

THE CRAVE CASE FROM WHITE CASTLE

Jerry "my body is a temple" Rapp did eat his first and last white castle slider.

The evening was a blast and we returned home to our attentive baby sitter.

Just kidding Jess.  You can sleep on our couch anytime.

Folks, what a great night.  Be sure to send Jerry and Andrea Rapp a thank you card before they leave for Texas.
