So yeah. Another year, another Geostock.

This year was a bunch of fun. I believe it was widely acknowledged as one of the better ones in recent memory. I’m sure if I sat down and sorted through the jumble of what parts I do remember, some reasons for that would become apparent. But whatever … I’m not sure its necessary to dissect.

GregA held up the Florida representation on his own this year. I do believe he kept up their end of the proverbial agreement. Groot, Mongoose in the nizzle as always. Nimdok made a showing after a year’s absence. Pan and TomA continue to keep up their neat perfect attendance records. Marcia/Jim were there through all of Saturday, par usual. Jeff and Lori and dawgs. Amanda came by with a friend of hers … she hasn’t been here in a couple of years. The Rhino made it out with significant other Angie. He selected his victims carefully, and didn’t exactly escape unscathed either (there are rumors of him weeping late Saturday night which I will neither confirm nor deny). Dar made it for the second year in a row. Ella’s Mom and Sister were present. Keith made it on Saturday despite some heavy travelling in the days prior. Several folks from Ella’s graduating class stopped by as well, including Mickey! Bah … trying to get everyone in without forgetting anyone is just dumb. My apologies to those not mentioned explicitly.

Oh … I should mention that the Potts crew (this year: Sabin, Stephanie, Crystal and Kevin), brought along a new penis cake that has pretty much raised the bar on all future such attempts. This one was able to stand up under its own power. Or something. I actually had a hard time cutting it up to serve, feeling strangely unable to take a knife to its … uh … anatomy. Well done, and thanks for coming by!

So now we’re in the usual week or so of after party cleanup. We’ll be finding bottles and random stuff in strange places in the house for probably the next month or so. And there’s a bit of relief. Despite the craziness and fun … its a somewhat stressful thing to throw together something designed to entertain 50 people for 2-3 straight days.

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it another special year.
