Nigel's Going-Away Pub Crawl Friday, May 30th |
|
Nigel & Gillian have to move back to the
U.K. in the middle of next month. We're so sad about them leaving
that we have to start having going away parties for them two weeks
early. This one was a pub crawl at Rice Village, the first one we've
had since the office moved to the other end of the earth. It was
very well attended, but then again, Nigel is very well liked. The
Bramwells will be missed! |

|
Nigel as you've never seen him before - A "Long Tall Texan" |
|
Me with Nigel, just before I gave him our going-away gift of a Stetson hat. Since he bought a truck, (sorry, a rig) I felt he had earned a cowboy hat to go with it. |
|
|
|
Here he is with all his cowboy gear. Doug & Myra provided the lariat and spurs. We didn't ask why they had them in the first place! |
|
Gillian is speechless by how dashing he looks in his new gear |
|
Here's Tammy and her friend Rhonda, in |
|
The women just couldn't keep their hands off of Nigel in that hat! |
|
Eric, always the life of the party, entertaining Linda Northey | |
Apparently this is a traditional Norwegian greeting. Funny, I've never heard of it before but I'm sure Ron wouldn't lie! |
|
Belly up to the bar, this cowboy needs another round | |
All cowboys drink Guinness, right? | |
Gillian, either waving to me or waving me off! |
|
We were trying to capture the cigar smoke but we didn't quite get it. |
|
Notice the spots on Don's shirt? They came from the "Flying Beer Incident" which we will not speak of again... |
|
Pete is saying, "No, seriously, how long can you wear that hat before someone picks a fight with you?" |
|
The Parkers. They are thinking, "Darn, I wish we hadn't given away those spurs!" |
|
Amy, ever the great hostess, kept everyone in drinks | |
It just wouldn't be a pub crawl without rabbit ear pictures | Don showing off his latest pedicure |
Pretty girls | Were we dancing? I'll have to ask PJ if he remembers... |
More pretty girls, that bar was full of them! | Shocking story! Maybe Heather will tell us the details sometime |
Sorry Ron, I caught you talking here |
|
Imagine that, someone caught me laughing and PJ smiling | |
I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for this | |
|
|
We were so happy to see Elliot again we had to give him rabbit ears for old times' sake |
Was Heather misbehaving AGAIN?? |
|
|
These guys survived a week in Paris together, now they're like old war buddies. |
|
|
|
Group Hug! |
|
This is the point where we bowed out. I can't wait to hear about all the fun that was had after this. It looks like these guys were just getting warmed up!
