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:

Ladies’ Night June 7, 2009

Last night was ladies’ night. We stayed at the Millenium Hotel in Minneapolis again, the same place we stayed for Jessie’s bachelorette party. I ended up being late getting there because I stopped at MOA on the way up, then on my way to the hotel I took the wrong exit and ran into a whole bunch of road construction. Yup, even if I think I’m going to be on time for once I still run late. It was no big deal though. By the time I finally got there and found a spot to park on the very top of the parking ramp they had already been there for a while and went swimming. Then we hung out for a few hours and ordered some pizza. We were getting dressed when we noticed that across the way in an apartment there was a group of guys that might have been watching us so Caitlin was told to moon them. That’s one thing about her, ask her do do something like that and she will.

We origionally planned to hit up The Gay 90′s and Spin but decided to skip The 90′s and just go to one place. We got there around 10:30 and the place was dead except for a couple of small groups that weren’t dancing yet so we just lounged around until things picked up. Once things do pick up in there though it gets super crowded, like you can hardly dance. I actually found myself envying the gogo dancers because they have their own little space to dance where no creepy guys can grind up on them.

I don’t know what was happening in this one.

 

 

I don’t know if Jessie was purposely making this face or not but I find it hilarious either way.

Good Neighbor Days June 1, 2009

This Past Saturday I drove up to join my friends for a good time in Roberts, Wisconsin for Good Neighbor days. We started off at Colette’s house and once it got dark out the fireworks started and we headed to the beer tent where the Dweebs were playing. I hadn’t ever heard of them before but I was pleasantly surprised.

After spending the night in the tent rocking out to the Dweebs we walked back over to Colettes for some quality time around the fire which was built with logs Ron hijacked from the neighbors.

Jessie & Josh didn’t pick a good place to sit, unless if they’re the type of people that enjoy smoke burning their eyes & lungs.
