Challenge for the Children, July 15 - 16, 2005


Read the writeup of the weekend

Celebrity Basketball Game, 7/16/05
These pictures were taken by myself with really high-tech Kodak disposables.




All five at the "meet and greet" before the game - all in a line, just like yesteryear.



Lance! Very accomodating!



Chris! Prime of his life!



I had asked Justin if I could take a picture of him and JC together, and he
said sure, and tried to get JC's attention, but JC wasn't listening, and the
bodyguard said I had to go, so I snapped and left. Justin looks uber-pleased.



JC preparing to attempt to warm up. Also, baby Carter.



Yes, hi, JC. God, it's almost like we're here to see you or something.



Joey and the Towel of Inconspicuousness



Tony Lucca on the Jumbo-Tron.



Despite what some may say, JC still exhibits thug appeal.



Justin, Joey and Chris entering together. Bad spellers of the world, UNTIE!



JC and Lance conferring.
Lance: Girl, that foundation looks like clown make-up!
JC: And that nail polish - you can't get your cosmetics at Walgreens, honey!



Justin giving a thumbs-up to the adoring empty bench.



Tip-off. Look how tensed and ready for action Joey is!
His father apparently doesn't care that his son is starting the game.



JC moving in a suave, confident manner.



Joey and The Hair of Thinning Action.



Joey and Kelly. Joey was sick that day. Not of the fans.



Team Daze. Justin and Joey confabbing. David Gallagher in the background running his little mouth.



JC adjusting himself surreptiously, but NOTHING ESCAPES THE KODAK DISPOSABLE.



Nothing escapes Lance either, apparently.



Lance drinking, JC chomping on his fingernails. What else is new?



Yes, it's Lance. He doesn't play basketball.



Gatorade totally not spiked with Hypotniq this year.



Justin ignoring Chris in favor of catcalling girls. CFTC staffer looking VERY OFFICIAL.



Justin explaining the rating of his hips circa 2000.



JC guarding Justin with the greatest of ease.



Joey on the microphone, ribbing Johnny. Remember, Johnny, you don't tell Joey anything.



Justin, possibly post-scoring.



Justin, possibly protesting a call.



Joey and The Towel of Sweaty Conspicuousness.



Joey and JC, a pair without a towel.



JC applauding his teammates with Lance's dubious consent.



Justin, 24. Justin's smile, 12. Justin's arm, bizarre.



liek omg we tuttaly SKORED!!1!. (Papa Fatone = not amused)



Chris and Justin, sob.



JC preparing to miss every single shot ever.



Chris, his shorts and his new tattoo.



Chris's new tattoo in relation to Papa Fatone's head (the future is bleak for Joey).



But he doesn't seem to care, whee! His smile could stop wars, man.



Justin being Very Serious About Basketball.



The moment of pre-JuC.



JC: Yo, Justin. Long time no see.
Justin: Whatever, I saw you at the press conference an hour ago.


JC: Yeah, but don't you want to hang out more? I could buy you a hot dog.



Justin: From that guy over there?



Justin: Well, being athletic and pretty in front of fans DOES take it out of me - I guess I could eat.



JC: Oh ho, my friend! You don't get to eat until you hang out with us for at leat five more hours!



Justin: Oh. Huh. Really? Hmm.



JC: Bitch, whatever, you're hanging.
Justin: Yeah, I am.


Chris is clearly tempted to come and throw down for Justin.



Instead, he chooses to interact with Joey.



Chris' level of interaction with the other guys was actually really heart-warming.



Justin and the kid who won the half-time dance-off.



Half-time dance-off on the Jumbo-Tron.



Wearing your jersey inside out allows you to wipe your sweat on the name of your charity. Yay?



JOEY'S NUMBER ONE!



Justin, endlessly unamused by the fangirls behind him.



JC being sportsmanlike.



Justin and his balls. Heh.



Joey collecting money in the Fiji box - he said that if $500 was
collected, they'd have Lance play. He LIED. Bastard.



Justin loves Chris despite his alien mutant pregnancy, aw!



My favorite picture of the game, 2 LJers and a grinning Joey. Perfection!
This is what CFTC Weekend is all about, to me.






Various other pictures from CFTC weekend


Chris meeting Diane Bass' car at it pulled up to the hotel curb.



Another angle. Totally not stalking Chris and Lance's mom. Fully respecting their privacy.



Chris hugging Diane. Ignore the side of my face, as I ignored them.



Joey with various fans.



The LJ dinner - a big success!



More LJ dinner.



We took up many tables, yo.



Autographed CFTC program.



How did those get into my luggage?
