20070811 – Casey’s surprise party – IMG_3123 – The Qua Ood People

The sign had some letters burned out, so it was funny how it said "The Qua Ood People."
BACKSTORY: Kipp presented a few choices to the birthday girl as to what she wanted to do that evening. One of them was to walk to a bar that was supposedly a "0.4 miles away" and get shots at midnight. That was the option she chose. Well, turns out, it was waaaaay more than a half mile. 1.04 miles means it was 2.6X the expected walking, which was already past the limit Clint would even consider — He only begrudgingly went when everyone else did, despite subconsciously knowing better from past experiences. The parking lot makes it look small enough, but it was still a 35-minute walk!
To top it off, when we finally got to the bar, we discovered that it had gone out of business a couple of weeks before. Uhhh… It’s always best to call ahead before wasting time. Especially an entire party. We walked across the parking lot searching for another bar, but there was none. Since it was a pretty large group, it was pretty spread out. But rather than waiting for everyone to catch up and regroup, Kipp & Casey kept on walking across the parking lot doing who-knows-what. They ended up taking one of Kipp’s famous "shortcuts" that was actually even longer than the original way. To date, Kipp shortcuts of cumulatively wasted more time than they have saved — just ask the skiiers. We were like, "What’s going on? Where are Kipp & Casey going?" The rest of the group didn’t seem to know either, because the supposed leader did not even tell anybody where he was going or what was going on.
We were all abandoned, so we finally decided to walk back to Kipp’s, since that’s where our cars were. Calling a taxi was debated. We also weren’t sure which house to take when going back into the woods, because everyone expected Kipp to not abandon us, and people were drinking and not necessarliy paying attention to where we emerged from the woods. It became an issue of debate and anxiety.
Also, our fearless leader took our only flashlight, so we had braved the woods — complete with foot bridge — using only cell-phone lights. This was hard, because there were fewer cell phones than people.
When we got back, the entire party waited for Kipp & Casey to return, but they never did. One by one, people eventually gave up left — After all, nobody was too drunk to drive after **70 MINUTES** of walking. I was actually unable to speak during a lot of the walk, because I was more or less out of breath the entire time, trying to keep up with the group.
This was to date in the top 5 most effective killings of good times that I have ever seen in my life. Speaking from experience, cops coming to a party twice are wayyyy less of a damper than this was. So, not counting the 70 minute hike, the party ended well before midnite. Counting it, people didn’t leave until after 1AM.
