Our friend The Eagle-Eyed-Editor did a great wrap-up post on our virtual beer-bash-blowout, er . . . I mean our refined literary and libation gathering. Check it out. And if you aren’t following The Eagle, why not?
Last Saturday night, I saw one of the most creative ideas I’ve ever seen in cyberspace and I can’t resist talking about it. Fellow blogger Robin Coyle hosted a virtual cocktail party, which I’ve never experienced before last weekend. We had a blast. There were drinks (burp!) and delicious nibbles (yum!), and somebody even kidnapped a lightshade. As the night progressed, some plastic pink flamingos ended up in Robin’s virtual pool and the more exuberant partygoers graduated to dancing on tabletops. (Okay, okay, people, I’m quoting from Katy Perry’s song “Last Friday Night.”) Led Zeppelin, Mick Jagger, Elton John and James Taylor gave impromptu musical performances.
I suspect I saw a monkey swinging from a chandelier. That might have been an hallucination caused by a few too many chocolate truffles, however.
After midnight, things wore down a bit and some overindulgent bloggers had to be helped back to their…

Wow, what a party ~ as you know, I’ve been away for a week, so it’s good to see you’ve almost cleaned up now ~ bet you’ve given the Marigolds a bashing [I’ve bought you a virtual new pair … there you go] Don’t miss that lampshade, I was told it had been used for … no, no, not here … 😀
The lampshade was used for whaaaaa? Ew. You are right. I don’t want it back.
heh-heh … told you!
Thanks for the link over to Eagle-eyed. Nice trip
You are welcome!
Glad to hear it was a hit!
Your wife had a great time. Don’t you wish you came along?
Your party went down even better than you could have imagined didn’t it! Before we all started blogging, or even in our very early days of blogging, if someone had told us that someone was going to host a virtual party on their blog, we’d be thinking “Well how silly, who would go to THAT!” Haha.
Pole dancing and sparkly tassels at a virtual party Perfect.
Yes . . . who would have thunk.
That was such a great idea—I wish I would’ve thought of it! 🙂
The idea hit me out of the blue while running errands. Funny how that happens!
Your party was quite the hit… and set a teeteringly high benchmark for those following on with their own. A rare serious comment though… your virtual party post and the comments, reblogs and sharing is true testimony to the value of our blogging culture 🙂
Amen to that, sister! Our community garden flourished that day . . . fueled by good food, conversation, background music, and friendships.
Thanks, Robin! Did you get your lampshade back?
Yes . . . it is worse for the wear, but oh well. The sacrifice was worth it.
So nice..!:)
