Poker Party January 12, 2010

On Saturday Jessie and Max hosted another poker party. I don’t know how to play but I go to hang out and see everyone. I’m glad that I got there early because I got to see Caitlin for a little bit before she left pretty early and because of the whole parking situation. Usually when it’s warm out everyone can just park in the yard but in the middle of winter there’s a crapload of snow everywhere so lets just say that everyone was having some problems with parking and getting stuck. Towards the end when a few people were out of the main game they tried to teach me how to play with pennies. I think I got some of it and won a few hands but I think that I’m ultimately hopeless when it comes to poker. I think that I’m more of a Liverpool Rummy type of person. So anyways here’s a few photos from the night. Lynsie ended up taking a bunch with my camera since I was being lazy with it:

Me & Lynsie sitting at Jessie’s computer goofing around on facebook which usually yields pretty funny results when viewed (the comments & wall posts) the next day.

Jessie W. & Jessie A. I don’t know what they were wrestling about.

Halloween November 3, 2009

First I must say that I love Halloween! It’s the only holiday that I even really like. Second I must say as a warning that this is going to be a long post. With that said, on Friday everyone met up at Josh & Lynsie’s for their Halloween party.

Our hosts, Lynsie & Josh.

Little Sadie is so cute in her coat.

Josh, Jessie, Phil, Rachel, & Brad.

Jessie & I. I must say that I loved dressing like this, it was my first attempt at wearing victory rolls!

Max & Jessie. Max went as that scary Sham Wow guy.

I just thought this was a pretty funny photo of Caitlin.

Caitlin & her boyfriend Cody. Cute, right?!

Phil & Jessie

Jessie got a little lap dance by Lynsie’s brother.

The three photography students – me, Ashley, & Jessie. Kisses!

The Next night was Halloween and also Jessie’s birthday so we went out to eat at the Orchard, played apples to apples at Jessie & Phil’s, then went out to The Dive Bar for the rest of the night for some dancing.

There was a guy going around the dance floor with a vampire blow up doll.

We made a few trips outside in the very cold night air which feels pretty good after being in a very hot & crowded club.

The birthday girl!

One sad thing – they no longer offer the ladies drink free here because some guy sued them for gender discrimination. This makes me sad, very sad. I was waiting until 11pm for my free drinks but they never came In return I think they should at least offer some special like $1 drinks instead of charging a crazy $4 per drink. I was very thirsty so I bought 1 drink then refilled the glass a few times with water in the restroom. I get to see the ladies again next Sunday for Rachel’s baby shower, then again in a few weeks for Caitlin’s!

Poker Party June 15, 2009

This past Saturday it was time for the poker party over at Jessie & Max’s. I don’t play poker, and really don’t know how but I decided to go anyway because I would like to spend as much time with my friends as possible. It started out with two large poker tables and Colette and I sat and were supposed to watch how to play but of course talked the whole time & didn’t learn much. Once Ron was out of the game we went into the living room so he could try and teach us. I think I learned a little bit at least. Then we played Yahtzee and I ended up rolling a yahtzee on my second roll! I think I still lost by about 4 points to Lynsie though.

Since I ended up taking so many photos I think that Jessie‘s idea of posting them as collages is a really good idea!

 

 

Jessie got us to go outside for fireworks off in the distance, which didn’t hold our attention too well and we started acting pretty goofy:

 

Someone had the idea to have the girls pose with Josh. As you can see it was a fail but really funny:

 

Dan’s turn:

 

Some more fun:

Halloween Weekend November 3, 2008

This past Halloween weekend was great! Friday/Halloween was Jw’s birthday so we went out to the Olive Garden then to The Dive bar for some drinking and dancing. The next night we went over to Rachel & Brad’s place for a good ‘ol Halloween party.

For some reason I’ve always wanted to be Greek for Halloween. Also this was my first attempt at making my own costume.
