Lauren turns 24 this year and she decided to re-visit a theme that she thrilled to on many occasions at her mother's house, affectionately called the Barbarian feast.

They would construct a giant table built low to the ground, upon which they piled all sorts of food stuffs to be partaken sans chairs or utensils.  Most participants would get into the spirit of the event by dressing up in their finest barbarian garb.  After filling their bellies, the leftovers would become weapons of war in a massive food fight!

A desert dwelling friend from Landers, CA offered to host Lauren's birthday feast, and from the pictures I've seen, it looks like everyone had a riot fully committing to the messy, barbarous melee!
