Porter Adventures: A Round of Goodbyes

It was a fun weekend at the Porter's. We had a great time with those of you who could come by and say goodbye. We realize that we made the decision to have a party at the last minute. Those of you who couldn't join us, we missed you.

There was plenty of laughter and story telling. Funny how so many of us have crossed paths many times through the years....whether we knew it or not. The game industry is a small one and can be a harsh one to boot, but we have made some of the best friends anyone could ask for.

There were lots of kids and dogs. Jenny's dogs made me laugh all night. Those basset hounds are the coolest. The kids were fun too until I found the amazing amounts of empty soda cans and dirty food plates all over the basement. Side Note: The next morning, last minute packing day before the movers came, Mike about blew a vein in his forehead when he found his computers covered in arterial soda spillage spray from a dropped can.

We ended the evening with a lot of Rock Band. It was a trip seeing everyone crowd onto the couches so they could get their turn to sing or drum. I wish I had taken a picture of Matoko crumpin on the papasan chair....those of you who were there, you know what I mean. Also, see the picture of Arnold standing on my couch? He was threatening to do a stage dive. Sadly, only his daughter stood to catch him (she's also in the picture).

Mike, the kids and I had a wondeful time. Thank all of you so much for celebrating with us. If we had known all it took was for us to leave the country to get all of these great people together, we would have done it sooner. Wink Wink.
