My Ding A Ling Birthday Party!

I celebrated my birthday a little over a week ago. I would have updated sooner, but I wrote this great entry and pressed the "publish post" button and it was gone. All that work for nothing. If that happens again with this entry, I might just give up blogging, so wish me luck!
Anyway, I celebrated my birthday the best ways: seeing Beauty Day at Hot Docs film festival, drinking IPA beer at Burger Bar's Canadian, IPA beer festival and doing karaoke with a retired wrestling legend, Sweet Daddy Siki. Unfortunately, I didn't capture everything from my birthday weekend with my camera, but I did take quite a few photos, so I'm going to let them tell the story.

Here's Ralph Zavadill, star of the documentary, Beauty Day.  He handed out popcorn in this big, hairy bag while we waited in line for the movie. Maybe I'm biased because of my Niagara connection to this film, but it's one of the best Canadian documentaries I've ever seen.

My incredibly talented sister, Erin, and brother-in-law, Nuno made me this amazing Gumby birthday cake. Erin did the baking and Nuno did the building. Yes, I agree, they need to go into the cake business.

Elvis, John Wayne, Mouth, me and Count Von Count!

Paul, Shawn and Jess.

Nuno and Erin.

Me and Gumby.

Gumby's not made out of clay!

This picture is from when I sang "Tequila" - the funnest and easiest karaoke song to sing! I also sang Chuck Berry's "My Ding A Ling" - with lyrics just as pervy as the title.

Here's the host of karaoke, Sweet Daddy Siki with me. Incase you don't recognize him...

Here he is at the peak of his wrestling career.

Since I couldn't take the leftover cake home with me, I took one last bite of Gumby's head.

It was such a wicked, fun birthday. Thanks to all my friends who came out!
