Bonnaroo 2008

I will be attending this year. Bands appearing there include:

Ringing in 2008

...with a dance party in the living room.

Last video of the night. Matt managed to fill up the memory card with this madness. Obviously those are the kind of moves that won Laura over.

Bruce, this is what you missed that night...

...and yet more incriminating footage

Notice how I hesitate... beginning to think of following Steve's leapfrog of the chair and thinking better of it. Who says alcohol impairs judgment? Listen to Christine try to get me back out to dance like an idiot... why encourage me?

Chair Wrangling (set to drums)

Title says it all...

The Sharona Hat Dance

...as performed by Steve with help from Tia and Kristen.

Tuesday's Gone...

MK couldn't resist filming the drunks he found himself surrounded by, and these embarrassing videos are the result. I feel like it wouldn't be fair to keep them to myself though.

For the Longest Time

Serenaded...kind of nice, actually.

Scary Cowboys

A nice picture of Kristen and Tia dancing to The Knack's one hit...

Orbison-Induced Revelry

Not sure what's going on here, but we can see that it involved (or was inpired by) Roy Orbison.

Matt and Thom sit back and enjoy the show...

I think that lamp (and the great shade on it) is about five or ten years older than I am.

Feel the Love

I think at the beginning, people were trying to take a lot of pictures of my dad because they thought his dancing would be a rare event. They soon realized however....

Kinda looks like he's trying to line dance in this one.

NYE 2

A nice candid shot of Aaron and Nikki.

All of these smiling pictures came after a lot of us had begun to self-medicate in Bruce's absence that night. Instead of wallowing, we started finding ways to drink in his honor, which I'm sure he approves.

I tried to find ways to crop the rams out of these pictures, but there's really no easy way. This is a nice picture of the girls though.

And below, some asshold stuck his beer into the frame. What a jerk.

Images from New Year's Eve 2007

Nikki and Aaron will be parents in two months' time... today is his birthday, so Happy Birthday, Aaron.

Steve played some guitar for my dad while Thom and Matt stayed near the food.... really, Matt was just biding his time until he could document the drunken behavior later in the night.

Confusion

Bruce must have gone over to the other side of the room in this picture,
because this is the look I had on my face most of the time when I had to guess what he was talking about...

12.30.07 - the Shields' House

Catchphrase and beer? Doesn't get much better than that. Bruce always has the best clues for his team, and his sense of timing is impeccable... sometimes.
