6/30/2001: Our friend Ellie decided to celebrate her birthday in style this year by having her friends paint her garage door. We arrived to find she'd bought 6 colors of paint, color-matched as close as possible to nearby vegetation: the colors were yellow, black, red, pink, maroon & green. She and Eddie had also masked off the walls around the garage door, provided a plastic drop cloth on the ground, and Eddie had given the door a good coat of white paint so we had a pristine canvas on which to create.

Ellie, being Ellie, didn't just let us go for it at first. We all drew for our colors and implements. Each paper out of the hat indicated a color and an implement. The (high) rollers went first, then the brushers, then the spongers, and finally the messy splatterers. After that it totally degenerated into a free for all, but while it was organized, assignments were thus:

Tool	Who	Color
Roller	Damian OP Eddie Bill Alan Wendy	Black Yellow Red Green Maroon Pink

The rollers were given about 5 minutes, then came the brushers:

Tool	Who	Color
Brush	Jean Gale Janet	Pink Red Green

Not many brushers were drawn. Then the spongers came along:

Tool	Who	Color
Sponge	Eve Eddie Bruce Wendy Bill	Yellow Black Green Red Pink

Finally the troubles began with the splatterers:

Tool	Who	Color
Splatterer	Ellie B. Gale Bruce Alan	Red Yellow Pink Green

		The Rollers getting first crack
		Getting a bit busier....
		What a mess!

A couple of people decided to get their shoes done up in matching colors...



All in all it was a great evening - thanks Ellie and Eddie for a fun time.
