And with that...

...We say goodbye to Comfest for another year.

Thank-you again to Brad and Liz for opening their home to us for the weekend.

And thanks to all who dropped by to share some time on a blanket or in a chair. We love you all and it's just not Comfest without you.

Only 363 days until Happy-Comfest-John returns again... See you on the grass in the park.

Jared's Pic

Of a stilt-walker because he can't figure out how to post. :)

Toph now wants to learn how to stilt-walk.

Whose house?

Brant's house!!

It's a typical...

...Sunday at Comfest. Coming down from the revelry of the past two days.

Sunday...

...and Jill has joined us. And has the proper Sunday Comfest mindset.

Saturday at...

...its inevitable end. Blue Hawaiian Day tomorrow!

The Saturday Giant

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Comfest has everything...

...including burlesque.

Katie...

...commits our first party foul. Clearly she isn't meant to have beer today. So we provided something more potent. :D

Two of my favorite people...

...whose wedding I happen to be officiating in 14 days.

Jared and Lisa enjoying...

...cigars from the island south of Miami.

A Comfest tradition...

Day 2 Locale

For the geo-location purposes. :)

Jared and his annual...

...not quite vegetarian tradition.

John seems lonely...

...you should come keep him company!

Brunch with Megan and Aly!

It's quite the crowd... The raspberry vodka, raspberry soda, white grapefruit juice, and champagne is very tasty!

Remember way back when...

...before we got smart... and I used to mix these a shot at a time?

COMFEST BREAKFAST!!!

Megan and Aly have invited us over to their place for breakfast.

Liz is making a strawberry salad with goat cheese and a strawberry-infused-basalmic vinaigrette!

In the early twilight as the sun...

...begins to slip from the sky.

I'm late - I'm late - For a *VERY* important Date!

...and so it begins...

Blue-Tongue-itis

Jason just looked at me and asked if we had taken the appropriate steps to prepare for Comfest...

I ignored him, assuming he was just confused and that he would regain his senses. I was wrong, he continued to press the issue.

I think we need to institute some kind of penalty box, and Jason needs to be put in it... I'm not sure if it's a "no drinking" box or a "no going out to ComFest" box... but it's definitely a box, and he's definitely in it.

...seriously... how does one even BEGIN to question if John and I have prepared for ComFest...
