Italian & Lip Sync Night

Day 3 of AI-XXIX, aka Italian Night followed by Lip Sync, was an epic affair that stretched into the wee hours of Sunday morning.  Showing questionable judgment neighbors Paul & Marilyn joined The AI Stans for the festivities. Things kicked off with an order for 7 Stanhattans which were mixed all at once in the world’s largest cocktail shaker provided to The AI several years ago by the erstwhile Baroness von Sidecar.  The BD’s annual tour de force was eagerly devoured by the faithful whose ravenous behavior perfectly encapsulated what was possibly The BD’s best effort in Italian Night history….and that’s saying something.  Something.  Dinner was washed down with copious bottles of wine and capped off with a scrumptious peach cobbler courtesy of Official AI Pastry Chef, Sean.

Stans were having so much fun chatting, drinking & eating that The BD had her hands full getting them to move inside for Lip Sync.  But, in they went and the performances will be remembered (?) as the greatest in Lip Sync’s XI years.  There were disco lights, not one, but two gimbals, setting a new AI record & possibly world record for most gimbals used at a lip sync party.  

Nick:  The Godfather

Paul:  You Can’t Do That

The BD:  Big Yellow Taxi

Sean:  Let’s Go Crazy

Emma: Pink Pony Girl

Marilyn:  He’ll Come Again

Rich:  Along Comes Mary

Reef:  Here Comes My Baby

Mitch:  Mama Told Me Not To Come

Nora:  Devil Is A Friend of Mine

Kaz:  I Want It That Way

The performances were over but no one wanted the party to stop.  And it didn't.  A couple of oldie but goodies from The AI Production archives followed by a handful of classic music videos that had the Stans rocking and rolling and still drinking.

Three days complete.  The Banquet awaits…
