the 7th of ju-ly

josh lohmeier, a fellow american that i work with, hosted his very own kiwiana july 4th party this year. except he had it on july 7th (a saturday in new zealand). didn't think people were so patriotic this far away from the US, did ya?

some of our friends got really into it ('fancy dress' is what they call it out here) ... and i have the photo evidence to prove it. craig (another colleague, went all out with his uncle sam rendition) and his wife, kate (such a beautiful nurse) outdid themselves. so did katerina and her husband, mr evil "jeremy" knievel himself. classic.

the food was fun, and josh's wife kristy smuggled some sparklers back into the country after her last trip to the US. unfortunately, i missed the fiesta. i was home with a pulled buttocks muscle (which i got during vacuuming) -- so lame i know. however, i figured the par-tay still deserved an entry.
