Wizard of Obs

Why am I still awake? It's almost 4am, and I've been exhausted since 11pm.

Tonight, we had our progressive as a way to welcome our moving into our homes in Obs (the neighborhood we live in, short for Observatory). The theme was the "Wizard of Obs," and it was a lot of fun. I wrote an e-mail to the program list to remind them of the festivities...


"Tonight..
we're off to see the Wizard of Obs.
So put on your ruby slipper,
Encounter rooms of color, wonder, and exotic drinks and food
Take a walk down the Yellow Main Brick Road
Encounter the Tim Man, Cole-Wardly Lion, Mimi, the Wicked (Dictator) Khai of the Durrty South, and Claire the Good Witch.

We're off at to see the Wizard at 9:03pm.
ALSO--it's Cole's 21st birthday. Let's help him get over the rainbow."

Maybe not that cool to you since part of it consists of inside jokes and having to know what's in Obs. Great night though. Everyone made it out, and most of the rooms participated. I ate a lot and drank enough. Mimi and I had sandwiches since a restaurant on Main called "Mimi's" sells sandwiches. After progressing to each room, we went downstairs and house-partied.

Many of us danced, and many went somewhere over the rainbow.
