In Honor Of Mel Torme (100th Birthday)
This was the Facebook/email invite I made for the cocktail party Joey and I threw ten years ago for Mel Torme's 90th birthday. Today is his 100th! Happy Birthday, Mel Torme! That was a fun party.
Throwback to that time I put my husband's bare butt on my party invite
There's a story behind how I even got this photo. It's from September 2015 after our Mel Torme 90th Birthday party. #AfterTheParty
It Was An "I Want Yule" Party
On Saturday afternoon, The I Want You opened for the Weisstronauts' annual holiday bash. Joe and I took the opportunity to host a lovely after party. An "after party" that starts around dinnertime? Perfect. These days, that is about my speed. That's not an "aging scenester" thing...yes, I'm aging but even when I was the right age to head out to someone's basement at 3am after band load-out, I didn't. I pr…
Naked Cake: Joe Eats Cake Naked at 3am

The last of the party guests had gone home, hopefully happy. Joey had done his part of knocking out eight or nine bottles of red wine. So I put my none-too-steady husband to bed, assuming he'd be asleep in minutes. Next I set about tidying up, putting away leftover cheeses, covering olives, closing bottles of tonic, organizing the empties...when I heard an exuberant voice from the living room …
Happy Birthday-ay-ay-ay-oh-oh-ooooo...hey, that's nice!, Mel Torme
That was a fun party.
We'd intended to prepare only legit retro party food, but we chickened out once we looked into it. As it happens, party food was gag-inducingly loathesome in the 60s and 70s. Pimento olives made far too much of a showing. Entirely too much ham and gelatin was involved, shaped into something truly diabolical. Everything was formed into a mold or a loaf of some kind.
Friends don't serve friends "molds."

If anyone was going to buy cheese at Star Market in Brighton today...
...sorry, they're out. I bought it all.
Just returned from a shopping trip with a metric ton of various cheeses for Joe's locally famous Fondue-bee-doo-bee-doo.
Now I Need A Punch Bowl
Joe has something of an infatuation with the late great Mel Torme, who would have been 90 this September. We've been talking about having a birthday party for the Velvet Fog, with music, drinks and dishes from the crooner's heyday. "We'll definitely make up a few pitchers of a Velvet Fog drink...oooh, maybe a punch bowl to fit the era!" You guys, I've been looking for an excuse to get a punch bowl for a long time. My j…
It's our birthday/anniversary
Great party.
My face hurts from smiling. 💕
Thanks for coming over, everyone.
Those of you we didn't see, you were missed.
Next time.
We will have more.
God willing and the creek don't rise.
