So to all you love birds, don't let my bitterness poop on your parade. Tomorrow it will be February 15, just another day in the life of a single person.
P.S. Calvin is not on steroids. He was close to the camera.

Bah Humbug!
I'm not sure what the official grunt is for Valentine's Day so I chose the one for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I like Christmas. I don't really care for New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day. So much so, in 1992 a friend of mine helped me put on the Bitter Queens Ball. We REALLY need to ressurect that party. I forced a smile and forced Calvin to pose for this picture.

Bitter Queens' Ball
OK. So while I'm in a bit of a bad mood and and since I did Sentimental Sunday on Sunday I thought I would combine the two and talk about a party that was held in 2002. You see...
Kenny In Montrose (KIM) and I decided to throw a party on the night of Valentines Day. It was sort of an anti-Valentines Day Party and we named it the Bitter Queens' Ball.
To be invited you had to be single and bitter (jaded, cynical and alcohol sodden also helped). We had a few munchies and a bunch of liquor because nothing makes you more bitter than a good stiff drink...or two...or three...or four.
Word got out that we were having this party and couples wanted to be invited. We were a bit selective so we sort of put them through a screening process. They had to be a bitter couple and knowing most of them and their relationships they passed the bitter test.
A former friend of mine made up some posters. He was/is a bitter person and craft projects kept him out of trouble. I remember one his posters was of Nicole Kidman complaining that she could never wear heels when she was married to Tom Cruise. Another was of Enron stockholders who had lost everything.
It was a great one time event. KIM and I still get inquiries about when are you going to have another Bitter Queens' Ball? Ya just never know.
I have no idea what I did with the pictures from that night. If I find them before Valentines Day, I will post them for you.
