"Excuse me," I mutter, and eat my broccoli standing up. The elf glares at me from her seat.
An explosion rocks the hall, and multi-colored fireworks light up the walls in odd colors. A giant magenta mushroom cloud billows upward, and a few extremely drunken hobbits squeal with joy. Everyone is silent for a moment. Then an elf hiccups.
"DO THE WAVE!" I screech in my loudest voice, which is heard by two people.
"Pardon me, were you speaking?" one enquires.
"Never mind. I'm off to the bar to see about some Balrog Wings...I wonder if they have Buffalo style?"
They do! So I nibble at those listlessly and look around. The only person I recognized was the Saucepan Man...he was humming on his comb while a woman beat time on his shoulder-pot.
Several couples are dancing...it's quite mushy really.
"Yo, barkeep! Can I get a some graham crackers and apple juice?"
