The Party Don’t Stop…
Indeed, this weekend has been one long party. Joey came over on Friday night, and hung out with us all, and we drank Coronas and ate pizza and played Fluxx, second best card game ever, until the wee hours, at which point we proceeded to fall drunkenly to sleep on the living room floor. I woke about 4am to the sight of 3 other bodies sprawled out in the living room, but i was too tired to wake anyone else up, and just dragged myself upstairs and collapsed. Apparently, Michelle woke up next, did the same, then Emily did the same. Joey woke up at some point, and went home before we got up.
Then, on Saturday night, it was party time for Emily’s 21st. Phil and Holly made it up from Sacramento, and bunches of folks came and hung out and brought food, and all just generally sat around and mingles and snacked and drank some more. Reed showed up and made us bananas foster, which was awesome and incendiary. Truly yummy. Then we all cruised down to P-town to mingle at Steve-O’s birthday party, where the Righteous Fists of Harmony were playing. I had some Coke with Cafe de Santos liquer, which was awesome, along with some tequila. Then I got to play tambourine during the Righteous Fists’ set, which I bruised my hand and tired out my arm doing. But it was very fun, they played a lot of Velvet Underground covers, so I could actually follow the changes for 90% of the songs.
We cruised on back home and started up a game of Apples to Apples (the best card game ever!), with 8 players. There was some fierce competition between Michelle and I for a good stretch of the game, and there were some really great hands that had everybody clapping and laughing their asses off until 4 in the morning. I’m surprised the neighbors weren’t beating down our door….but after we exhausted the entire deck of green cards, and cycled through the red cards 2 and a half times, we called it quits, with me taking the win.
Then this afternoon was Nicole’s birthday, which was much more sedate, and not entirely sober, but certainly less sloshed than the previous two nights. We mostly sat around, played Star Wars trivial pursuit, and then watched Pump Up the Volume, which is a damn fine movie.
All in all, a pretty damn fun weekend, if somewhat exhausting.
More later…
