Continuing our look back at photo sets of the past, we come to the 2005 Buffalo Jills Calendar Release Party, held at Quote Nightclub, where The Purple Monkey Tropical Pub stands today.

Upon arriving, I received two things, a VIP pass from the Jills director and a drink from her husband along with the request for lots and lots of pics. Unlike the FHM release party, I felt a lot more in my element and had, after a few games into the season, built a rapport with several of the Jills. Eileen even made a point of introducing me to her family. Over the years since then, I probably talked to her mother more than I did Eileen.

In addition to a dance performance, the Jills put on a swimsuit fashion show, showing off the suits they wore in the 2005-06 Buffalo Jills Swimsuit Calendar. They started off with September 2005 and the incredibly fit Adrienne, a rookie Ambassador with exotic looks and amazing abs and finished up with Shana, the blonde bombshell of a covergirl who spent her year with the Jills as an Ambassador.

There were a few extra special guests at this event. Sam Barclay, Executive Editor of FHM's US edition, was on-hand supporting his favorite NFL cheerleading squad and Marissa D, who spent 6 seasons on the sidelines of the Ralph, was there supporting her former squadmates. Going into 2005, Nichole and Kelly H were the only girls still on the squad who knew me very well at all. Marissa was one of those who knew me before 2005, though, having met a few times at games as well as at a bikini fashion show that members of the Jills were part of in 2003. At the end of the evening, I was talking with Marissa and her boyfriend on the way out to the parking lot. I made sure to advise him not to let her get away because she was, and still is, one of the greatest gals ever to put on the Jills uniform. He definitely listened because, as I found out from Marissa a few months later when she was on the Bandettes, he popped the question soon thereafter.
