    Yes and it wasn't a celebration really but we did wake up to beer cans all over the place

  • As opposed to having gone to a fake wake? Well, yes, I have and people wore bright colors to be cheerful as opposed to wear black and be glum. Drinking and eating was the main event, right after paying a few respects to the dearly departed.

    Never been to one, but think it's much better than only crying over yourself. The person who has just passed deserves to have their life remembered in a positive way.
