It's good to see Karen. I've missed her.

Let's see some more of this great wash-in

 

[hooverwheelaway]

My turn for pictures!

Here's the Hoover balloon from street level.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

My Apex "frothing steamy money shot"

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Of course, the Super Unimatic was used... and it was as full as I've ever seen it. ((Which I'm told isn't as full as it's ever been))

 

[hooverwheelaway]

My shot of Jed on his knees... this time in front of the Apex.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Off to Don's for brunch the next day...

I forgot to take a picture of the fabulous spread... trust me, it was lovely. Mimosas, an egg-bake kind of quiche that had a potato crust and bacon sprinkled on top, some sort of cinnamon bread that came out of a bundt cake pan, and fresh fruit...

Check out this gorgeous Ironrite sign Don has...
(Imagine the iron pad turning, cuz it does)

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Robert, me, and my sister--who came up from Milwaukee for the weekend and was such a good sport when it came time for the washer stuff ((I'm sure she was b o r e d to tears)).

Nonetheless, I think/hope she had a grand time this weekend.

Don's gorgeous 1969 GE that the boys insisted upon moving and hooking up.

Next time we're gonna hook up that turquoise Maytag 806!

Robert watching it do what it does.
((Not filter-flo-ing... notice the filter pan in Robert's hand))

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Running Don's beautifully restored Grey Ghost. Sarah even got the opportunity to run something through the wringer--which I don't think she knew what one was before this weekend.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Off to Showtunes!

We had a delightful time at Showtunes - at the Minneapolis Eagle/Bolt, on Sunday night.

Greg and Myself, a fabulous drag queen (Don?), and my sister... striking a pose for the camera. I think Robert was off plugging the meter,and missed this photo-op.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Whew! A few people have had a bit to drink!

...For the rest, tune into Facebook.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Come on....

Just a few more sips! Drink! Drink!

((Cause he wasn't already in the bag))

 

[hooverwheelaway]

What a silly T-Shirt!

*giggle*

[jetcone]

Cool Weekend!

Where on earth did you get that balloon??

And that penisdome was just covered in froth!! So a good time must have been had by all!

Don nice '69 Ge there what a sharp looking console that machine has.

Cheers from New England

Showtunes was a blast! What a fun night that was - video on screens around the bar with clips of movies and Broadway shows to sing and recite with - what could be better than fun and cheap drinks?

Well, a cheap date (for Fred) at McDonalds maybe?? Hee hee...

 

[Unimatic1140]

Hmmmmmph, bitches you both better watch out!

I know two people that are in very, very big trouble,

one for dragging me to McDonald's at 1 am in the morning (FEH I hate fast food) when I was all tipsy and the other for posting that picture.

 

[iheartmaytag]

Tipsy???

You look completely faced to me. But, hey, I wasn't there--unfortunately.

 

[polkanut]

I think that pic is an absolute riot, but then again, it may cause one. HaHaHa!!!

 

[spiceman1957]

Robert,

How long have you been having these "laundry machines parties"? I can't think of a better way of having "good clean fun"! Judging from the pictures, you all seem to be having a blast. Do your quests bring in their own laundry and you wash for them ?

 

[joelippard]

What fun

and what good looking guys, think I need to visit Robert and Fred...

"laundry machines parties"... We prefer "wash-in's" John, its the PC way to say it lol.

And yes people sometimes do bring wash, I usually encourage it. But they get to choose the machines they want and they do it themselves.

Looks like everyone had great fun!! Thanks for sharing the photos guys!

 

[a440]

Great Pictures!

Greg, Robert, Don, Fred.....
You look like a bunch a kids having a blast!
Thanks for the pictures!

[spankomatic]

Ronald McDonald himself took Roberts photo. Right Greg? Robert is just in denial about seeing a clown that night....

 

[abcomatic]

It sure does look like fun. I would have loved to have driven up from Illinois to be there and see you ABComatic in action. Was this open to all members or just those close by? Have fun. Gary

 

[autowasherfreak]

Look like you guys had a blast. I love the pic of Robert at McDonald's too funny! I hope to attend a Wash-In someday.
