The Promotion Party Weekend

Las Vegas, various locales - July 18-21, 2003

You've probably already read the whole breakdown of what happened during this weekend. Here are selected pictures from that weekend. Some didn't make it to protect the innocent and to protect the last shreds of dignity I may or may not have. But rest assured, "Debbie" does make an appearance below.

Friday the 18th, Day of my Promotion Ceremony

I'm ready for the ceremony

Mom dropped the rank (is this a good sign?)

One last congrats

Time to take the oath

Me and my inspirational closing words - ;-)

The group, just dark

It's Paris' Eiffel Tower - it looks eerily like the real thing

Another angle (heck, it's the most Europe I've seen in a while!)

Naughty Kasey

On the escalator to cross the Blvd

We made it! Now we're going down

And now we're passed out! (it WAS 4AM)

This doesn't look good

 

 


Saturday the 19th, Party Day!

Some things to note about these pictures. It is really an incomplete collection, as I don't have my Uncle Steve's pictures yet. He was the one who took most of the group friends and family pictures at the party. I left my camera on after taking a picture and being the drunk fool that I was that night, didn't realize it for quite a few hours until when I picked it up and it was dead. So what you see now (as of 2 Aug 03) are all the hang out pictures that my friends Jason & Ilyne took. They certainly do show me and my friends drunk, no?

Saturday morning - I definitely did not take this picture that early in the morning

A little later

Watching Azores bullfights on the TV

Chilling on the couch with Mila & Byron after the party

Listening to Kasey's story

And recoiling in fear! Notice all of our faces - pretty expressive each of us

And some cake sharing ensued
