NoVA crew... are y'all coming or what?

[yellow rose]

.. to my party?? July 11 at my place.. we are having a "Casino Night" fundraiser type deal to send me and the fatty to NAYRC.. but more party than anything else!

we have some GREAT prize donations that you can win.. everything from massages to lessons to blanket cleanings to wine and booze to super cool equiglas (from our own eventgroupie2!).

come on guys... I know the open bar and appetizers made by yours truly will attract you... OK well maybe not the appetizers but certainly the booze.

get ready for some debauchery ! there are details/directions on my website.

[LexInVA]

Open bar + debauchery + eventing babes = A good time for all...or at least me! :D

[LexInVA]

Is this black tie and evening gown or beer stained t-shirt and tanktop?

[yellowbritches]

Sweet! I do think it is a little funny that it is a Casino Night and open bar for a fund raiser for a YR! ha! :lol:

That is going to be a busy weekend! Between the event, yr's fun party, and the other big party on Saturday night. Woohoo!!!!

Black tie or tank top, I can do either...and most things in between. :yes:

[LexInVA]

Black tie or tank top, I can do either...and most things in between. :yes:

Versatility. I like that. :winkgrin:

[LexInVA]

How do we pay for tickets? Cash, check, PayPal, livestock, or human organs?

[yellow rose]

attire is whatev. i think i will be sporting either a casual dress or my "hold my beer while I kiss your boyfriend" shirt.

tickets at the door. no livestock please, but human organs preferred and accepted.

[LexInVA]

So cash is okay? I don't even remember the last time I saw or used my checkbook. I do everything electronically.

[LexInVA]

Bumping. :)

[GreyDun]

Me and the BF are totally coming...and bringing cameras :D How can two eventing paparazzi pass up a fun party (uh oh...blackmail photos anyone? Kidding!)? Can't wait!

[LexInVA]

Me and the BF are totally coming...and bringing cameras :D How can two eventing paparazzi pass up a fun party (uh oh...blackmail photos anyone? Kidding!)? Can't wait!

It should be a good time. I'm bringing two cases of Corona I picked up for the 4th and some random unopened booze I found while cleaning out the garage earlier today. :D

[GreyDun]

Excellent... well done, Lex :D It wouldn't be a party without Coronas and random dusty booze. I shall bring a crapload of limes then.

P.S. YellowRose - I was thinking about getting you & Jennie B. a couple of disposable cameras for your trip back.... love the behind the scenes stuff for the mag. :) Whatcha think?

Those disposable cameras are pretty fuzzy. It would probably be better if they were loaned a really big memory card for their digital camera, which would probably be SD/SDHC. Those cards are far less expensive than getting them disposables. I know places you can get 8GB cards for 15/20 bucks.

[GreyDun]

Yep, I'm definitely not a fan of disposables... but I wasn't sure if they had a digital camera that they were planning to take (and I didn't really have one to lend them). So, yes, I'd have no prob getting them a nice memory card for their camera. :)

P.S. YellowRose will hopefully be sharing her experiences at YR's/the Road Trip in an article for USEA mag... so, all the more reason to come to her party, meet the fun people, and support her on the way there. :D (okay, I deserve a cookie for that little sneak peek ;))

[LexInVA]

Peanut Butter cookie?

[yellowbritches]

Peanut Butter cookie?
mmmm...peanut butter cookie....

I should raid the abandoned liquor cabinet and and see what former roomie left behind. :yes:

[LexInVA]

Go for it! Just remember, you're competing the day after so I'm not gonna let you get too sloshed. :winkgrin:

[yellowbritches]

Ahhh, but I'm NOT competing this weekend, but next weekend! I just have to be sober enough to bathe and braid and maybe walk a xc course. And training goes later, so I should be ok. If times are early, I'll do the braiding on Friday afternoon! :lol:

Okay! I stand corrected. :lol:

[GreyDun]

Peanut Butter cookie?

Yes..........or a Skittle. (by the way, I think they now have Starburst jelly beans....????? AHH! I got fat just watching the commercial... awesome.)

YB - aw, just do like I do and fit 8 (or less...)fat tortellini braids on your guy... :D Are you showing at MD the 2nd weekend? Boo, I'll be at Stuart HT :( I may go out there and volunteer this Sunday though, and scope out the new course, I hear it's great.

[yellowbritches]

I am! I get to ride the BFG, which makes me uber-duber happy. And I get training, which I'm hoping I remember how to do. Been not stop babies at novice the last couple of years! :lol:

The BFG is definitely getting banded braids this weekend, no string for me. I'll either be in a rush or hungover, string will make me crazy.

[Dr. Doolittle]

Gah, how can you schedule this delightfully fun-sounding thing for an evening before a day when I have to be up at 5:00 AM?!?

:sigh:

(I'm doing the Compass Rose CT this Sat., and so far am the only Prelim entry...I'm sure I'll be doing dressage at 8 bells :()

And those dusty Coronas sound great--as long as they're cold! And if Grey Dun kindly offers to bring limes, even better!

Good luck, yb--I'll be doing T also at the second MDHT (along with my student Erin), so be sure you wear those yellow breeches so that I will be able to recognize you :p

Yellow Rose, I will see you tomorrow at your show! I'm bringing the greenbean, so will be there early (3:30 ish), and will be schooling him around the baby-sized courses...maybe you can twist my arm re: Friday while I'm there ;)

Lex, dude, we need to get *you* into a "cookie addiction rehab facility" :D

[yellow rose]

aw you guys!!! I cant wait to see everyone!!

just a few more days... should be a great time..!!

[yellow rose]

excuse me??? I have to ride the day after the party at maryland!! and a client's horse no less! no excuses everyone... be there... drink a beer... play some craps.... send a fat horse to colorado...

[Dr. Doolittle]

:lol:

BWAHAHA!

Keep in mind, I have 30 years on ya! ;)

[Invested1]

Gah, how can you schedule this delightfully fun-sounding thing for an evening before a day when I have to be up at 5:00 AM?!?

:sigh:

And on a Friday night. :sigh:
Would take at least a couple hours from DC. :cry:

[LexInVA]

And on a Friday night. :sigh:
Would take at least a couple hours from DC. :cry:

It only takes me 30 minutes to get there. You're more like an hour from your condo. And I know you can't turn down that much alcohol and social interaction in one place! :winkgrin:

[Invested1]

It only takes me 30 minutes to get there. You're more like an hour from your condo. And I know you can't turn down that much alcohol and social interaction in one place! :winkgrin:

It is VERY tempting, trust me! :D

But in NO traffic, it takes me over an hour to get to M'burg..... :sigh:

[LexInVA]

Bumping again.

[GreyDun]

This better be one helluva party... I gave up going to the Mandatory Outing for it! (Plus, I didn't feel like driving all the way down there by myself...bah!) I'm excited. And I want YellowRose to do another Blog on her site! :D

[yellowbritches]

I need to work on my Corona/lime flip. I'm usually pretty good at it, but tonight I had two with dinner, and the second one got a little messy. I'm blaming it on drinking the majority of the first on a very empty and mildly dehydrated stomach. Not good for a moderate light weight! :lol:

[yellowbritches]

Dr. D- the yellow britches were washed and folded last night. They will certainly be worn next weekend. They will either be astride a rather elegant grey, or astride a rather elegant grey acting like an idiot. ;)

[Dr. Doolittle]

:sigh:

I am feeling more and more compelled to make an appearance (I'll be out at my barn in the evening--cleaning my horse up for the CT the next day, and helping with the prep for the greenie I'm going to be riding there too--and my barn is only 15-20 minutes away from yellow rose...maybe I could stop by for an hour or two. ;)) I screwed up my lower back last weekend, but haven't been able to take a break (other than going to the chiro, stretching, using muscle relaxants, massage, heating pad, etc., etc.), so I am *attempting* to take it easy whenever possible--and get plenty of rest, so that I will be able to compete on Sat...best-laid plans, though--Ha!

I was at the schooling Jumper show tonight, and yellow rose told me she was riding (a client's horse) this Sat. at the MDHT 1--but she lucked out; she's the second division of the day! :p Not exactly "lie in bed all morning" times, but I'm thinking that she will be able to sleep past 5:00 AM, maybe :p)

Anyway, I hope to come by--I guess it will depend on how I feel by Friday night ;)

Oooh. I hope there's a variety of ale! Costco has some yummy in the tummy pastries and all sorts of goodies.

[LexInVA]

Bumping and reminding everyone not to forget their money. This is a fundraiser afterall. Despite the large amount of booze and likely shenanigans that will occur after alcohol consumption. :winkgrin:

[Invested1]

shenanigans

WOTD? :D

[LexInVA]

WOTD? :D

I'm just being true to my Irish roots. :D

[yellowbritches]

Woohoo! Just got times for our rider...he rides Sunday! I still have the other party on Saturday night, so I guess it really doesn't all wash out as much as it should, but at least I can truly party hard to send a fat horse to Colorado (I love that, by the way :lol:) on Friday night!

Irish roots my ass. You stole shenanigans from ME! :lol:

Other party? My goodness. Your a social butterfly this week. :)

It's my inherited right to say shenanigans! If you wanna contest it, we'll have to arm wrestle or settle it the ancient way...Rock, Paper, Scissors! :D

Seriously. A girl sits at home weeks on end, and then has multiple shindigs in one weekend. What's THAT all about!? :winkgrin:

I accept your challenge to Rock, Paper, Scissors. I'm certain I have some inherited right to the word, as well, but I am such a mutt on my mom's side that I'm not exactly sure how. Heck, we use Yiddish phrases quite often, yet I am 99.9999% sure there is not an ounce of Jewish blood in our genealogy, anywhere! :lol: We may just like to rip off other cultures and use their excellent turns of phrase(s). However, the odd Dutch things I say are all and totally mine, and lucky enough that most people can't even pronounce them! :lol: (I never use them in writing, however, as I can't SPELL any of them.)

[rideforthelaurels16]

A party?! I'm so jealous! Wish I was in the Middleburg area already but I won't be until October :( Anyway, CONGRATS on being selected for the NAYRC :D and I think I may steal one of the steeds on your site ;) I'm eyeing up the For Sale page currently....hehehe.

I just hope I don't end up making a Schlameal of myself from too much drinking and tomfoolery. :lol:

Indubitably. :D I think we'll have some interesting times ahead of us on Friday night.

We'll have to see what can be done about that. Simply unacceptable! :winkgrin:

[yellow rose]

tomfoolery?!? oh goodness. what have i done. lucky you guys... I have a stipend of 2 glasses of wine for the ENTIRE night!! :mad::cry::dead:

i guess i really ought to be comprehendable and coherent whilst talking to sponsors... but thats NO fun! grr

Don't worry Katie, you have my word that there will be no shenanigans or tomfoolery until the sponsors go away! After that we'll all engage in an orgy of alcohol consumption to make up for your lack of inebriation earlier in the evening. :D Besides...I think between us, we've got at least enough booze for two parties. :lol:

[yellow rose]

yessss! and i don't have to ride until noonish the next day.. weee

i did test the speakers out today.. bummppin

[Dr. Doolittle]

Oh, Lord...you people are incorrigible!

:sigh:

And Lex, you might want to check the spelling on "Shlemeil"?? :D

(Or you could just watch a Laverne and Shirley repeat, and read the captioning during the theme song to find out the correct spelling..:p)

I am STILL trying to figure out a way that I can get over there for a few hours--broke, fillthy dirty (from horse bathing and lesson giving), and otherwise "socially unacceptable"

(I don't suppose you would forgive a fellow horse person a little dirtiness...or is this a "Formal Dress Affair"??)

[Dr. Doolittle]

yessss! and i don't have to ride until noonish the next day.. weee

Sheesh, I *told* you, girl!

You have absolutely no excuse not to stay up late and have a good time..(I, OTOH...)

AFAIK, my spelling is the proper Yiddish (if there is such a thing). :D

You're not an equestrian if you don't have a dirt stain somewhere on your clothing so you'll fit in nicely. I don't think it's a formal affair, at least Katie hasn't said it is such, and I was just planning on wearing a nice shirt. Anyway, you might as well show up at some point and pilfer some booze and munchies. You'll probably need them after your Friday night activities.

[yellowbritches]

Notice how he said a NICE shirt, not a CLEAN shirt. :winkgrin:

Considering I live with myself, there is little hope that I will arrive totally clean. We also count discount the fact that a dog travels with me 99% of the time...I most likely will have dog hair on me, as well.

And Katie, I promise not to embarrass you...only myself. ;)

The shirt will be clean...at least until you make me spill something on it. :p

I too will have dog hair on me since I will be walking a dog or two before I go and they have hair all over my interior anyway, but it's all good! As long as I don't smell bad, I can make it through the night. :)

[yellowbritches]

I just raided the liquor cabinet.

I found an unopened bottle of Jose Cuervo, margarita mix, and margarita salt. :eek: Roomie was holding out on me!! :lol:

Ah, I love "pilfer"! Goes well with "filching" snackies and "pillaging" at random parties. :winkgrin:

Egh, I don't own clean shirts anymore... since I do the barn on the way to work, all of my "at one point somewhat classy, clean, and fashionable" tops have all be besmothered in pony slobber/dog hair/chicken poo/Pop Tart goop...

Ah, can't wait...is there still the need for limes? Since I carry them around with me in my Mary Poppins purse, you know, like Coggins & old dressage tests ripped out of the Omni. Never know when you'll need 'em! :D

[LexInVA]

I just raided the liquor cabinet.

Heh. I found some Mikes Hard Lemonade, an unopened bottle of Jose Cuervo Especial, some Smirnoff Ice, an almost full case of Miller Light and an unopened bottle of Absolut regular vodka the other day. That's just in addition to the Coronas I picked up for the 4th. I expect I may find more when I go through the garage tomorrow. We can open a bar!

[yellow rose]

everyone.. just please wear pants.

[LexInVA]

everyone.. just please wear pants.

What do you think we are? Polo players?! :winkgrin:

I will be going to the store tomorrow and picking up a bunch of limes along with some other things on my shopping list. Just bring yourself, your notepad in case you want to talk to Katie and take notes, and your $45 donation to the "Send A Fat Horse (and it's rider) To Colorado" fund. :)

Excellent :D By the way, I totally did an interview (well, trail ride) with Katie & Steve a few months ago (it's on the USEA Blog), but I was too entranced by the awesome ride out to take notes...whoops! I ended up emailing her a half dozen times trying to get everything right.

OH, by the way, YR, Josh is totally bring his NEW PONY to the Jumper Show on Tuesday. He's an fat awesome Paint... yay! At least he doesn't have to ride Peristinkle anymore.

Yeah I just read that piece a few minutes ago. One of the things I like about Katie and Steve is that they are as normal as anyone you'd meet outside of a horse farm. Definitely not something you find with many of the pros, at least not many of the ones I've met. It would be nice to see more blogs about the up and comers like them that give the perspective of those who are working their way towards making a name for themselves.

That's what I thought, too, and that's why I always enjoy riding with them (well, that and I just enjoy watching them ride, too and are always digging for some free advice :)).

But yes - I've got a whole bunch of ideas for the Blog that we're working on like that... really neat, talented, hard-working people that we don't know a lot about. Doesn't have to be a rider, could be someone's groom, or parent, or owner, or whatever... love those stories!

[LexInVA]

Bumping to remind those who are still on the fence. Remember to bring your checkbooks for the silent auction. Speaking of which, what is being auctioned? That's something I've been wondering.

[yellow rose]

AHHHHHH. i just spent $500 at costco!!!!

we are auctioning off all sorts of good stuff some horsey some not. you will just have to see for yourself!

[yellowbritches]

Do I even have a check book???

I know I did at some point....when was the last time I wrote a check off of my account??? :confused::lol:

[yellow rose]

WAIT till you see what i bought at the party store.

that alone is worth going for!

[yellowbritches]

OK. THIS is a SILLY question. You recently told us to wear pants, which I took as "You all behave yourself and don't embarrass me" type of thing. Then I saw on your website "wear pants." Do we ACTUALLY need to wear pants, or, considering most of my non-horsey wardrobe is either skirts or slumwear, will a skirt do?? :lol:

I warned you, it was a silly question. The blonde hair IS natural, afterall, and dehydration effs with my brain. :winkgrin:

[yellow rose]

YES YOU MUST WEAR PANTS. I SHALL BE THE ONLY ONE IN A DRESS!!!!!!



ahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

no.. wear whatever you want! just please cover your bottom half... because sometimes people don't....

[yellowbritches]

Bottom half (and top, though you don't mention anything about the top half ;)) shall be covered!

[LexInVA]

YES YOU MUST WEAR PANTS. I SHALL BE THE ONLY ONE IN A DRESS!!!!!!



ahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

no.. wear whatever you want! just please cover your bottom half... because sometimes people don't....

Well I'm definitely NOT wearing a dress so you've got nothing to worry about. :lol: I have to admit though...I'm curious about this not covering the bottom half thing...is that a reference to the...more eccentric folk that live about Middleburg? Or is it something else? Maybe a bad run-in with someone wearing shorty shorts?

[evntr06]

Ok, I just realized that your website sais "nice casual", not just "casual".... Are jeans ok, cause that's what I ended up grabbing this morning on the way to work! :)

[yellow rose]

yes! wear whatever you like. jeans are totally cool.

[GreyDun]

AHHHHHH. i just spent $500 at costco!!!!

we are auctioning off all sorts of good stuff some horsey some not. you will just have to see for yourself!

Wow... can't wait! :D By the way - is it vital we get there early? I don't want to miss out on all the fun auctioning stuff or anything, but we might not get there right at 6:30, so Josh can play with his new pony. :winkgrin:

[yellowbritches]

You had the same thought I had. As I stand here dripping with sweat and covered in Paco hair and slime, still with a million things to do, I trying to figure out how much time I need to return to a civilized state and out to M-burg in a timely fashion.

You all are horse people, I know, but Paco has a way of getting me totally filthy pre and post ride.:eek:

[LexInVA]

I'm gonna head out around 5PM me thinks since I have to go down the always wonderful Rt.50 during the mad dash home from work that everyone engages in. Should get there before 6:30 or so give or take some time. Luckily I have The Golden Compass to occupy my ears while sitting in traffic. :)

[LexInVA]

Just got home! :D Will summarize tomorrow. Was fun. :)

[yellowbritches]

I had a great time! Somehow, I totally missed getting a chance to talk to YR the entire evening, but had fun talking to Lex, and spent a little time trying to figure out craps. It is safe to say I will never be a professional gambler! :lol:

[LexInVA]

I'll definitely never be a professional gambler. I simply don't have the patience for that sort of thing. Well, I certainly enjoyed myself and the "afterparty" was fun too. It was nice to hang out in the barn and enjoy the company of good folk while listening to "F*** The Po-po". :lol:

[evntr06]

It is safe to say I will never be a professional gambler! :lol:

Yeah, I'm not going to quit my day job for gambling either... :) But, there were some people who won BIG!

I had tons of fun too!

[LexInVA]

I think we should have another party this evening. There's still plenty of beer! :D
