Roast with the most
Holy crap, I have some amazing friends!!!
Wed. The first was my birthday and I sort of heard whispers of some kind of party or something maybe but nothing could have prepared me for what I got. Griffin drove me to the dance studio to "pick up Irene". Low and behold there are like thirty of my friends standing outside lining a red carpet and cheering my name. Inside the place had been converted into a smooth lounge like atmosphere. I was placed on the hot seat and grilled by my best buddies. Barry dropped the powerpoint bomb on me. Todd let me have it on my spending sprees, Kerstan recounted our L.A. trials, Charlie(all the way from cali!) reminded people how much I hate to move, Doug and Irene pulled double duty on the mic and the dance floor as the presented me with an amazing interpretation of the cruel angel thesis from Evangelion, the greatest anime ever. Todd Bristow laid down the sweet jams on keyboard, Jeff rented the equipment and ran the elaborate av setup, skills got the projector, darren ran camera, and Michel Hartnet donned a tuxedo to play MC to the whole event. Irene gets a ton of credit for orchestration and pulling off a surprise and a half. I will never be able to thank everyone who participated enough. It really made my 30th something special and something I will always remember. My life has been truly blessed and each one of you who attended are a gift that I cherish more than any limited edition action figure in the world. Thank you all so much for the gifts especially those hand made items, Raul I love my Klingon drawing. Thank you thank you thank you. All of you inspire and encourage me to continue undaunted on the career path I have chosen, and I will not stop till IM in top, but you have already made me The Famous Paul.
