Party like it's 1999, er, 2001!

Avalon, NJ, Summer 2001

With early-adaptor-vegetarian Amira circling in the

 background and watching with approval, today's Birthday Girl and Boy,

 Mavourneen and Chris, prepare to stuff  themselves silly in this

 vintage Hidden HackFest Cam shot. 

The very idea of  mixing taboule, pasta salad, pita bread, hummus,

 ice cream, and chocolate sauce - all topped off with whipped cream

and pine nuts - into a dessert bowl would be repellent to most of

 humanity, but not to these two adventurous, discriminating teens. 

All the Best to You Both on Your Big Day! 

(And may your birthday dinner reach similarly lofty heights.)

H.B. Alayna!

Sometimes, people have secret sides of themselves that
they rarely,  if ever, show...

Thanks to the Hidden HackFester cam and inside information, we can plainly see

that Alayna, for instance, has her Mormon side.  Wearer of long, modest dresses

 that say “I’m married;” hair pulled back severely, so as not to obscure her vision

 while sweeping the porch; on this summer’s reading list: The Book of Mormon;

 one of the rare women who actually admires robotic Mitt Romney; secretly

 dvr’d every last episode of Big Love and watches it when nobody is around;

an unspoken yearning for a Sister-Wife or two; the desire to be around

 many children, most of them not her own, etc., etc. The signs are

all there…how did we ever miss them?!

All the Best on Your Big Day Alayna!  (We raise our cups of coffee, tea,

coke,  beer, wine, etc. to you even if our indulging in such evil

 beverages does make Joseph Smith roll over in his

creepy Mormon casket.)

Mormon Gals:  Role Models?

On Spring Sabbatical....

Back at the end of the month, y'all!

Happy Easter!

Easter Sunday, circa 1965, somewhere in sunny SE Florida

(l-r) WO, Aunt Kitty, Uncle Judd, Martha, RJ, Johnny Mac, Mick-Mouse, Julie, JP

"Everybody ready to cram into the pre-baked, unairconditioned car and go to church?!"

"Hell Yeah!"

It's Official...!

Fresh from France...

M. et Mme. Pierre Carpentier

or

M. Pierre Carpentier and Mme. Amira Marion, couple marié

(However you spell it or slice it, they are now joined in matrimony!)

May for better or worse always and forever

 be far better than worse.

Break out the Bubbly! (Well, almost.)

At this writing, Amira is still single, but in about

11 hours, all that will change.

Stay tuned for updates on the blushing bride-to-be....

HB, Jason!

Jason (with his carry-on bag) and Mira

The Hackfester Insider has learned that Birthday Boy is so amped up

 about  his impending journey to Italy (9 days and counting!) that he

 has taken to pacing about the house with his carry-on luggage slung

 over his shoulder (as seen above in this exclusive Hidden HFster

 Cam shot) in order to "get used to it."  

Additionally, we've been informed by trusted sources that he has

 already completely packed (and repacked) his bags

and is apparently "greatly looking forward" to getting to

 the airport and having every last one of them "shrink-wrapped" in

plastic to ensure that nothing falls out along the way and that nobody

messes with his personal stuff.  Good plan! 

J's luggage: packed and stacked by the front door.



Baggage-Wrapper Technician at Metro Airport.  Says he's prepared to wrap
"every last one" of J's bags. Also says he picks up chicks at bars by claiming
to be a well-known "Wrapper." 

All the Best on your Big Day, JaSON!
