On hangovers, the Mummers and public drunkeness

Whew! Rehearsals for O Captain are kinda kicking my ass these days! Anyway, I've been away for a while, my apologies.

As promised, here's a photo journey through the madness that was New Year's Day.



The parade kicked off early as the Mummers marched home from Broad Street:



Meanwhile, the party kicked off at our place. Notice the mellow vibe. We were all nursing some pretty fierce hangovers:


Hey look! It's the pink guys and their beer truck!


Dalice found a great spot to rest her weary head: the dog bed. Thankfully Hyde is a champion spooner and didn't mind sharing.


Meanwhile, Amanda McKenna took up residence in this chair. Did I mention that Amanda came to the party in her nightgown, with a bottle of moonshine? I'm not making this up, folks.


Dan Kazemi showed up later, and his arrival managed to inspire Amanda enough to get out of her chair and dance around on our deck with the HUGE pair of 2009 glasses Dan made out of cardboard (nice nighty, Amanda!):


We left the comfort of the apartment as the debauchery ramped up on 2 Street. Street vendors were on hand to help us part ways with our money:


And everyone was milling about, enjoying the Mummers and their street beers.


There were no trash cans on the street.


Jenn Rose rings in the New Year with a very special Mummers Strut of her own!


The evening wore down, and although the residents of 2 Street continued to party, Deb and I spent the last waking moments snuggling on the couch with our very bony lap dog:

I will be posting more often soon, I promise. A (very belated!) Happy New Year to everyone!
