Gentleman Husband and I went to visit two of our favorite couples this weekend, the manOrrs and the Beaverhausens. They live in Kansas City, MO -very near the birthplace of CrazyVirgo. For whatever reason, we have never visited without something memorable (or illegal or embarrassing) happening. In the past I have tried to jump into the arms of my 6"5' husband, like a Romanian gymnast, totally missing him and landing with my head smacked against asphalt. No one was hurt. On one particular visit, we created the Greatest Music Video of All Time. Period. Once I mentally scarred one half of Beaverhausen so much that he bolted out of manOrr like lightening and high-stepped it the 10 blocks home.
But, nothing, and I do mean nothing, will top our most recent visit. Inspired by an almost intolerable love for GoodFellas, the Mayor of manOrr required that all 6 people involved with the first night of our visit channel Jersey 1976 for our dinner at an Italian joint in Kansas City, KC (side note: KCK is Jersey to Kansas City, Missouri's NYC, so it made sense.) Gentleman Lover and I waited at the Kansas City airport, dressed in our costumes as were instructed to, and then a 1987 maroon Ford wagon with wood panels showed up to chauffeur us around for the evening. It was, in a word, the tits.
Then, this happened:
In all honesty friends, we didn't even pose this. We didn't even know this was going to happen. We got lost on this dead-end street, realized there was an incredible view of Kansas City, MO, got out of the car to take a picture, fell into character, and took the best picture of our lives.
Take a minute. Soak it in. But don't look too long. You might be blinded.
Soon, people everywhere will see this picture, because it will probably be put in the Kansas City Kansas Museum of History, and want to re-enact this exact same night. But they won't be able to. It's was a once in a lifetime event. Immortalized on June 12, 2009.
Sometimes amazing happens. And it feels good.
I'm still recovering from our weekend. Miss you already.
