so here goes:

license to be an ahole starts as soon as you set foot in the place. start with a libation while waiting impatiently to get into the event. good thing friends are prepared.

arrived on friday afternoon. the daytime. so easy to set up camp. only our camp was already set up b/c some actually got there on thurs. i had 2,000 some water bottle to contend with. jordan and i find a convenient location for them within camp hope, inside a cubby where you rev up your motorcycle before speeding up. ... can't find a photo, but it worked well for all the bags.

cuz it was my birthday i didn't have to set up tent. yay. thanks camping buddies.

saw a big totem pole artwork that looked amazing. and actually wondered who it was by. was so happy something so beautiful was there. by evening i realized who's it was, duh.

jumped on a trampoline really really high. by myself and then with someone. it was soo scary jumping high like that with someone. i liked it a lot.

then rode on a big wheel that was still too big for me. picked up some water for my jumping friends and big wheeled back for a water break. yay. drinking the plastic fantastic water.

sorted through some bags of bottles with a few friends from camp hope. yay. the work is getting done already. and i'm making new friends at camp. perfect day continues.

get ready for the walk. costumed up in my new fancy bottle cap dress and white wig. did my make a little different, a little trecartin inspired if you will. just a little. not too crazy. don the birthday tiara rachel made for me. it's super fancy in bright green and pink with feathers, jewels and pompoms. the perfect finishing touch.

set up video for the walk off. walk off starts before i was ready. walk off music is so entertainment tonight fabulous and eventually the background water video is running. watch the fashion show walk off. so sexy.
