wheel...of...FORTUNE!!!

Everyone has various life goals they hope to achieve at some point and my friend Brent was able to mark one of his off when he got on Wheel of Fortune. To commemorate he had a WOF party. In case you've forgotten, the wheel:



Wake up Pat! It's time for Brent to spin!



There's our boy! Look at him already winning.



And there's Brent on the far left in the "I'm a fan for Vanna" tshirt.



Brent's husband John in the teal shirt. John's family drove up from San Diego to LA and Brent's family came down from Salinas for the big night.



Johnny is a talented chef and made this fantastic WOF cake for the occasion.



Better yet, it spins!



Sometimes one of the perks of reaching a life goal is purging all the stuff that lead up to that point. Brent had collected WOF paraphernalia for years. After the show aired the whole party played a card version of WOF where Brent gave away his entire collection as prizes. There were two "Vannas" all decked out in 80's goodness to assist.



Prizes included Wheel of Fortune: the Game!



And Vanna dolls in various outfits.



Practically a pack rat myself, I only wanted something small so I picked up what I thought was just a little magnetic wheel pin.



But no, there was more! Twist the back and there's little lights on it that chase each other around. The gif gives a fair impression of the action.

Tony & Ben were kind enough to let us crash at their place for the night. They played some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare while we chilled for a bit.



Oddly enough this record went superbly w/ the visuals. The chorus stylings bounced well w/ the 1st person movement. Maybe because the video game takes place in Afghanistan?



But we moved on to Johnny Paycheck which you may remember from such songs as "Take This Job and Shove It" and "Drinkin" and Drivin". The original rebel outlaw.



And then some awesome Little Richard before heading out to yummy Little Sheep/Hot pot Hot pot!

We killed the night w/ watching Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal". No weird dreams afterwards, though.
