This past Saturday night, November 12th, the third annual Intense Individual Party took place. If I could drum up a better adjective to describe this party other than Intense I would use it, but the truth is there is no other way to describe it. It was literally and figuratively — INTENSE.
I was very pleased with the fact that so many individuals scrounged through their attics and pulled out their tents so that the guests of the party were able to sleep in-tents as well. That was a nice touch. 
Throughout the night moments of pure hilarity were witnessed by many. One of the first moments of absolute Intensity was when Harrod Blank
showed up all the way from Berkeley with two of his famous art cars. They got lost a few miles from the party and ended up at a local Starbucks. When they pulled up the entire Starbucks stopped business, everyone went outside, gawked at the cars, and then followed them to the party.
This one was covered with old music boxes that actually worked. Unbelievable.
The other art car, the brass van, was covered with $15,000 worth of brass objects and took 20 years to make.
As the cars arrived at the party, the Intense Individuals out in the backyard migrated to the front of the house to see the cars with their own eyes.
Intense!
I think the cast of Anchorman were the first ones on the scene. They stayed classy as they conducted groundbreaking interviews with Harrod and his friend Hunter. Later on in the evening I found Geraldo in the corner, totally pissed he was late to the party and didn’t get an interview. Sorry, GR.
“This is Rooooonnnn Buuuurrrrgundy reporting in front of the art cars at the Intense Individual Party.”
The moments were endless and the only way to really document the intensity is with the pictures that many digital cameras captured that night.
So here you go.
The Channel Four News Team from Anchorman….”Stay Classy San Diego.”
Michael Jackson, the early days.
Teen Wolf ready to dominate the basketball court.
Anchorman’s Veronica Corningstone, Aunt Jamima, the emotional Ty Pennington from Trading Spaces, Britney Spears and Courtney Love surrounding Harrod Blank as he arrives at the party.
Geraldo Rivera and Mother Teresa. A dynamic duo. 
When Marc Summers asked them what they wanted to do, they definitely took the physical challenge. 
Prince and Dolly Parton with Bob Barker, his miniscule microphone and one of his babes.
(Before I get emails from people asking me which plastic surgeon I visited pre-party, I will give you the recipe for Dolly Parton sized boobs. Take your average sized bra and stuff it with batting (teddy bear stuffing) to make your cleavage quadruple. Then take a 42DD bra and put it on over that and stuff that with 20 times more batting than you stuffed your average sized bra with. Finally, take apart an old bracelet and glue gun the beads onto the 42DD bra for the nipples. Wa-la…You have Dolly Parton sized boobs.)
One word: Tomkat.
I’m in Looooooooove!!!!!!!!!!! My couch is in shreds.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen all the way from NYU.
Lance rode in straight from the tour and was immediately swarmed by his fans.

The only party where you’ll find Aunt Jamima, Peg Bundy, Teen Wolf, Prince, Mother Teresa, Michael Jackson, and Kris Kross all getting down on the dance floor together.
Hopefully, my family’s Christmas Card for 2005. Happy Holidays from Teen Wolf, Dolly Parton, Rex Kwon Do, Ashley Olsen, Styles/Wolf Buddy, and The Pope. (A little egdy with The Pope but what are you gonna do…he’s Intense.)
Paris Hilton and the most random entourage she’ll ever have. 
Suzanne Somers and her Thigh Master.
The original Daisy Duke.
Courtney Love was wasted when she arrived which made it tough on Veronica to conduct an interview with her. 
In this picture Aunt Jamima gives Michael Jackson and The Riddler the low down on Tom The Genius

The Dead Presidents. 
It was an honor to have Conor Lastowka, one of the individuals who started National High Five Day
, here with us that night. Here he is surrounded by the Duff Beer Gal, Prince, and James Lipton. A big high five to that. 
Rod Rodey (RIP) and Bob Barker. 
Prince’s crushed velvet purple suit was simply…magical.
Cruella Deville and Jimmy Hendrix.
Tim, the most Intense/best DJ in the world with Mother Teresa after she took off her habit but kept the cross. How religious of her. 
Everyone agreed, this shot was worth denting my brother’s car for. Surfin’ USA.
Aunt Jamima flipping pancakes.
Peg Bundy, Cruella, Paris Hilton, Marilyn Monroe, and Geraldo…just hanging out like any normal Saturday night.
At the end of the night the crowd voted on the Most Intense Individual of 2005. The trophy was brought out as well as the gold, silver, and bronze medals.
The winners were:
#1 Teen Wolf
#2 Peg Bundy
#3 Prince
It was tough on me to give the first place prize to my brother but the crowd spoke and he was the unanimous favorite. Aside from the hair glued all over his body and the Beavers jersey, I think he ultimately won because he was in character all night long. (And it wasn’t even a full moon!)
Overall, the costumes were spectacular and the Intensity was all around. It was great to see Venus and Serena challenging Elvis to a game of Guess Who. It was moments like that you don’t see everyday.
Thank you to all who brought their Intensity to the party because you all really made this party truly Intense. A big high five to Katie Bergman (aka: Prince) who flew all the way out from New York for the party. Another high five to Maureen Cullinan (aka:Mother Teresa) and Goose from Top Gun) who also made a big trip out from Chicago to attend.
Get ready for II #4…coming to you in 2006. I plan on setting the date now so you all have time to buy your ticket.
Until next time, stay Intense! I cannot even begin to think about what 2006 has in store.
