wetstock



Luisa about to heave a water balloon through an
upstairs window.



Happy birthday, Mark Osier!

Had lots of fun at Reid's and Luisa's Wetstock 2004, their annual watergun party. I've upgraded my digital camera since the last party; sadly, this meant that I could no longer use my cool waterproof case, which in turn meant that I had to take photos from a relative distance.

The best prepared were Leslie Ambedian and Peter Kotanen, who arrived with a trunk full of water balloons in addition to their waterguns. In addition to participating in the water assaults, I chatted with the non-combatants on the "safe area" deck, swam in the pool, got a mini shiatsu massage from Justin (who recently completed a 9-month course!), pigged out on barbecued sausages and hamburgers and salads and fruit and homemade apple pie (from Laura & PeterC), played a board game, took a nap.

Many thanks to Reid and Luisa for hosting the event!

Here are a few photos from the party (you can see more in Reid's blog):



Jeff about to surprise-attack Luisa.




Leslie wielding a water balloon menacingly (if it's
possible to look menacing in a dress, that is).





Peter Cook.




Reid and Jeff.




I had to include a picture of Michelle, of course!




David Barker.




Jenny and Andrew.

Peter Kotanen.




Jamie's first watergun.




Jeff, trying to decide whether or not to shoot me.
