We've done it again! With all of your help that is! Saturday's party was a night that will not soon be forgotten. By all accounts, this was without a doubt, the party of the year, if not the best party EVER at Albany CrossFit!
The evening started off relaxed and mellow, as we all were able to enjoy some delicious grilled Paleo meals and refreshments, setting the mood for the events to come. Thank you to all who helped cook, serv, and contributed to helping everything run smoothly. Full and content, the entertainment was ready to begin!
We had the pleasure of bring 14 acts to the "stage," showing some guts to stand up in front of the rest of the community and put their talents out there for all to see. With KeHo and Pat as the MC's, Jamie started it off with a crowd stirring set on the drums. He then passed the torch to the beloved Tom D, who demonstrated the epic feat of eating an entire roasted chicken in under 5 minutes! The only to way to follow that up is with Teef belting out a classic sing-a-long. There was some more musical talent displayed, as Carissa and Sarah both played on the flute. From there we had a little more fun with Shye and his juggling act, and Murph getting a laugh out of the crowd as he "lost weight" before our very eyes.
The evening continued with interpretive dance from Niki, followed up with some poetry from Leb. Abby flashed her skills on the fiddle, and Kathryn and Phil did a little number rapping about Jason's shapely butt! And the show still had more! Another dance number from the Amit, Sarah, and Rachel giving us a little Bollywood flavor. Swells' "Worst Nightmare" came on as Rhi and Kayla showed the craziness that coaches deal with! It wouldn't be a party if we didn't get some laughs with a classic Lenora stand-up, taking some friendly shots at the new job titles of some of the coaches. And finally, last, most certainly not least, we close out the show with a resounding performance from the birthday man himself, Jason, as he played guitar with Fran, Sarah and Rachel serenading the crowds with an awesome set list.
As if that would be the only thing we do at a party, we still raged on into the night. Beer pong tournaments, raffling off prizes, and a cozy bonfire outside to relax to. What more could you ask for in a night out with your favorite "gym"? We could not have thought of a better way to celebrate and come together as a community to support the Affiliate Team. The bond we all share is now that much stronger. Nothing like an epic social night out to bring people together. To those who were not able to make it, we wish you could have joined us on this special evening. Thanks again to all who made the night possible. We look forward to the next party!
