UYE: Keli And Jimmy-Lee’s Pool Party

Let it be known, from now until evermore, that any time a flag is flown for a UYE thrown by Jimmy-​lee and Keli, I will be in attendance.
Not only was this the most badass UYE I think I’ve ever attended, it was the first UYE that smelled worthy of taking off the following workday. Not that I needed any recovery time or anything. *innocent face*
Jimmy-​lee and his entourage led by Keli — with a very special shout-​out to a hard working CJ — brought the fun, y’all! From the adorable table of fag schwag (still not a fan of that word, sweetpea) to the abundance of shaded lounges and chairs to the smoking grill filled with a never-​ending parade of delectable edibles to the oonch oonch oonch of the exuberant DJs (DJs!) to the sparkling of the very inviting pool, this UYE brought it.
Hanging out with some of the nicest Unilocalers this side of the Trinity was totally worth that vacation day. And I didn’t even get hit in the head by the volleyball. Whut whut!

If you disapprove or dislike curse words, look away (cripple hand)…
THIS was one bad ass motherfucker. I can’t say I’ve ever been to such a pool party. The DJ played awesome tunes. Someone kept putting alcoholic shots or jello shots or rum or everclear soaked watermelon or hot dogs or cookies or cigarettes in my mouth. I kinda felt like Cleopatra, just sitting there being fed yummy items. And I just kept taking it like a trooper.
Everyone was super friendly and sweet. I cut out a bit early (damn responsibilities) but I’m already scheming how we can have another bad ass pool party at Jimmy-Lee’s. Can we can we can we? :)

Best UYE of the year!
I’m so happy to have gotten the opportunity to attend Jimmy-​Lee and CJ’s pool party UYE. Not only was the hosting top notch, but the company was just wonderful. It was so nice to get to spend the day with a group of friendly folks, many of whom were people I had yet to meet from Unilocal (hi Jimmy-​Lee!). They even had swag bags and a DJ (who played good music no less). It was pretty much my favorite kind of day — chatting, a little exercise (swimming, floating around on an inflatable alligator, and pool volleyball), rounded out with some delicious grilled food and drinks. Special shout outs to CJ for being so magical on the grill, Jimmy-​Lee, Keli and Erin for all the hugs and welcoming, Jodi for her mimosa jello shooters, Venus for her straw-​ritas, and Megan for the everclear watermelon.
To those who wanted the recipe for the horchata jello, wait no longer!

1 can light coconut milk, 4tbsp dry horchata mix, ½c spiced rum, 2 packets knox gelatin
Instructions:
Step 1. Mix the coconut milk with horchata powder
Step 2. Heat mixture to boiling

It’s nice to hang with fellow Unilocalers! It was a great day full of food, fun, and booze! Jimmy and Keli are great host and a delight to hang out with! I had some great conversations and I learned a few horticultural tips from C.J. Don’t be a weirdo on Unilocal and you too can join in on cool outings like this!

As I biked up to Jimmy Lee’s cute Lakewood casa: it became apparent —
The shwag table with towels and sunscreen, the DJ — it was like a mini West Hollywood party. Some of my favorite Unilocalers were there — Leigh P, Megan, Keli
Jodi, Tina and ones of been wanting to meet — Ben, Venus, Karen and Brooke.
It’s a little overwhelming to have such intelligent good people at such accessibility. Who would have thought I’d actually make real friends through Unilocal.
But it looks like I’m going to despite my loner status.
With a BBQ and a pool volley game you couldn’t have asked for more, Kelli and Jimmy Lee really did themselves out on this one.
Good «real» people — who said Dallas had to be so fake.

So much fun! The DJ had me dancing up the driveway! Lol
Amazing pool/​home, beautiful people, drinks and of course the hype DJ! Keli and Jimmy know how to throw a party. I can’t wait for the next one! Thank you so much for being the Hostess with the Mostess.
So sad that I didn’t get to stay long. Until next time.
Cheers!

What an awesome group of Unilocalers! Jimmy-​Lee and I started the plans for this over a month ago, so it was hard to believe that today was the event. There have been a few Unilocal events this week, so it literally felt like we were having a party for friends. Everyone seemed to have a great time, and it meant so much that everyone took the time to come.
The DJ’s were awesome, and kept us moving all day. CJ did an amazing job with the landscaping and manning the grill. Jimmy-​Lee and Erin put the final touches in place, and made everything perfect.
This was one of the funnest parties ever, and I can’t wait until the next one!
