Halien Shindig 8/30 thru 9/2 Signup Sheet

[lovinghaleyr]

You guys, i'm getting nervous for all these party games. I've been practicing the hula hoop, and it wont stay up for more than 10 seconds. I cant sing for karaoke, and Im forgetting all the lyrics to the songs....
I feel like a kid in grade school.
Well, I hope Buzz, and yanni and Cool and Bonjojet can sing, especially Bonjojet since he's bringing the darn karaoke machine...
I'm gonna drink heavily in the background..

There will be nice prizes for these party games. I'm asking Haley to autograph these award labels and I'm mounting them on DVD cases with a 4 hour DVD of Haley's journey to stardom inside to the winner:

So it's worth giving it a try!

I'm still deciding the best way to do the Karaoke thing. It will be when Haley is not in our audience. I don't want her to see how badly we muck up her songs. Maybe we'll have duets with the audience picking the better of the two that will move on to the next round until a final winner gets the confetti and . a million dollar recording contract with InterscopeOh...Guess I went too far there. If it's a duet you won't have to feel so self-conscious especially if your opponent sucks worse than you do!

Name That Tune will feature the instrument tracks of Listen Up songs as provided by Bonjojet's Karaoke with flash cards of the song titles to hold up and if you're wrong you sit down until we have the last person standing as the audio gets shorter and shorter.

Hula Hoop will be a duet thing also. If your hoop hits the ground first you're out until there's a last person standing...all performed with Haley's songs playing the background.

Sorry HIMM but with this first prize:"DON'T COUNT WITH ME"

^^ Hey, guys, don't forget your ascots and plaid shorts.

Yes, NUG, it is still full steam ahead for me!

[Himm2]

Swanny or Yanni? Are either of you willing to give 9 holes of golf a go? Coolnebguy (Tim) had something come up at work where he won't be able get to Wheeling until Lunch on Saturday therefore it's down to Buzz & a riding Mrs. Buzz & I. I have an extra set of clubs (my wife's) if anyone is game.

Thanks for the updated schedule Himm. I’ll have to pass on the golf outing Saturday morning, I’m not a golfer. That’s great news that the whole family (Angie too) will be up there performing plus the band and dueling keyboardists, and 20 songs too! Awesome, this is going to be a fun weekend.

[Himm2]

My buddy Mary Beth Hahn who is the primary hostess at Bob Chinns has the large round table that seats 12 reserved for us "Haliens" at 12:30. When I called she said Haley Just left here after having lunch and they all were going for another practice with the band. Dang wish I woulda known!!

[buzzenator]

^ Let me just start off with a giant Captain Dinkens Haley Yell...

Himm...this is going to be one helluva shindig. It looks like the golf is not happening and that is ok. We just got back home tonight from the lake, after 12 days with the grandgirls...and are totally spent. We could use a sleep-in on Saturday 8/31. However, we are yours to help in anyway you can think of with getting ready for all the Haliens if you need help with prep...whatever.

It's all good...and we really appreciate the efforts you and your wife are making. Tomorrow I will head to NE Minneapolis, for the Kramarczuk's Ukrainian sausage (served proudly at Target Field, home of the Twins, only $7.50/sausage)...hand hold it to Chicago and give it a little Chi-town grilling. Oh, this is going to be good...and you can't taste that on a video.

It's party time in Chicago...

[jjames865]

I hope all have a great time. Wish I could be there as well.

Sleep is really overrated Buzz, when it comes to Haley...isn't that right Tusk? I really didn't wanna cancel golf even if it's just you & I with Kathy as our cheerleader, especially with two free passes that we can use. You guys can take a nap before Chinns if you want but I'm still golfing 9 holes and I need help with my Yell when I sink a hole-in-one!
Are you guys up for the Seadog view of Chicago from Lake Michigan Friday Night? I'm pretty sure I can get a discount from my semi-bro-in-law's daughter who is reservations director for the Lakefront boats that her dad used to be part owner of.

So much will be going on this weekend that my head is spinning. Hopefully, once I am there I can just sort of follow others' leads and not confuse my little swan brain. I'm not a golfer and would probably injure myself with the golf clubs, so I'll pass on that. I am interested in the car tour of Haley sites. I was hoping there would be something like that. Country swan in the big city.
