Christmas Party

Ok, so we had Ramiro's squadron Christmas party last night. We always look forward to getting out and celebrating with friends during the holidays. The location was fine, the food and spirits were acceptable, but the entertainment was beyond "gag me with a spoon". A perfectly good DJ was hired and waiting in the wings....all of us "oldies" were waiting for the music and dancing to start. (oldies = 30+ yrs) The party planners, however, had a grand idea to entertain the "youngins" with a battle of Rock Band. (youngins = 18-29 yrs) Now, I'm the first to line up for a good battle of Rock Band or Guitar Hero....LOVE the game! (And I'm quite good if I do say so myself!) But it's not something I care to observe during an annual Christmas party. So, what was intended to be a short tournament turned into an entire night of horrible music and screaming Airmen....oh, the horror. We would have left earlier in the evening, but of course they waited until the very end to give away the big prizes. (Yes, we suffered in hopes of a 47 inch flat screen TV) So Rock Band finally wrapped up around 11:00, they drew the final prizes, and the DJ was rockin' the house as we walked out the door. What a disappointment! Oh, by the way, my name was drawn to pick a prize envelope off the Christmas tree....$10 bill baby....that should buy me about a gallon of gas! I guess the night wasn't an entire bust after all. :)
