‘Tis the season for ugly sweaters

Saturday was another installment of [of the Queue]’s weekly shenanigans. Typically, we’re in HFC smacking something around (or getting smacked around). This night was the Winter Veil holiday party for the Queuevians.

I have to give the officers a big round of applause. I’ve been an officer in a guild for these types of events before. Herding cats is about what it’s like to keep 30+ people focused during in-game events (way different mentality than raiding).  Yet, they did it (without junk-punching anyone for being stupid either).

There was goblin glider races, reindeer races, lump-of-coal-relay-race, snowball fight, and transmog contests (I’m sure I forgot an event or more).

I wasn’t expecting to win either the ugly sweater transmog contest or winter veil spirit transmog contest. I was just there to have fun, and I wound up winning the ugly sweater contest. I looked through my stuff for red/green/blue/white and was looking for anything that looked icy or tree-like. This is what I wound up with.

After the contests were over, we decided to head over to ICC to get our picture taken with with Lich King. Someone from [of the Queue] is supposed to photoshop a Santa hat on Arthas. When that happens, I’ll be posting a copy here.

After we got our pictures taken with him, we went ahead and put him in the ground.

I know I’ve gotten all sappy about how much I enjoy my new-found home for Aes, but it’s just really cool to have found him a new home where my social awkwardness just isn’t an issue.
