F'N Awesome Weekend!
(Pictured: The incredible STONEHENGE CAKE L got for my bday! Its kind of melting in this pic, i have a bunch more i need to post).
Wow, what a doosey of a weekend jam.
FRIDAY:
Started out with Will Burchard and his wife Danielle coming in town around 7ish. So rad that they came down from Kentucky for the weekend. Been a long ass time since we have seen them and had good quality hang time. Had a drink at the house after they met Ozzy and we headed out to the Taco Stand to meet folks. We were going there specifically to watch the Falcons game which got bumped to a 10pm tape delay because the preseason game wasnt sold out. Sucks, but still had a good time. The 4 of us met Ice, SM, Thorn, Kristen, Rijo, Gus, Big B, and his girlfriend Katie for a (long) dinner and several pitchers. Took it from there up the street to this Fratty bar called Kramers which has a great back room with MASTA CYLINDAZ, Beer Pong, and a killer Juke Box. WE JAMMMMMMMMMMMED IT TO THE BONE! Got my ass kicked in Beer Pong, but still had a blast. Steely D blowed up in the spot. Also my sister came out and jammed as well. Was a fun and krunkly time. Last thing i CLEARLY remember was having a photo sesh with Burch in the standalone digital bathroom on Roswell Rd after getting a monster bag of toffee cookies from my sis. WOW!
SATURDAY:
Woke up hung OVER at 9:15 after Flip called me. Walked around for a while not fully knowing what i was doing. Thank God i organized all my ExcaliBrah shit the night before, otherwise i would have been shit out of luck because i was scattered to say the least. Ice and Thorn crawled to my place and we left for ATH. Got there - picked up the wangs - picked up the ExcaliBrah shirts from Nick Canada (*which btw if you want one - i have new ones in red w gold ink and black with gold ink - they look great - let me know). Got to the draft about 10 minutes late, but Zieg wasnt too mad. The draft was fun and now 2 days out from it I feel ok about my team. Saturday i wasnt feeling it, but now I know where i need work and can address that but overall i still have the best backfield in Footbizzle and that goes a long way. I think on a whole though the entire league has about the same team, so it should be a fun season. Finished the draft and took it to the Flicker bar to set up. First time playing there, and MIGHT be the last time we play there. They harshed us a few times, enough so to not feel them anymore. During sound check, we had a hard time getting the shitty PA to sound good so we ran through several songs on the ipod just to see how they sounded. The bartender came in and told us to stop. Then we went to get some "props" for the show - a 12er of coors lt, a 6er of Chill, a bottle of makers, and some sparks and she harshed us coming in with that. Which i understand but we explained that it was for us and we werent serving to our friends (which we didnt) - it was all part of the show. DRANK SIPPAZ! The show started with an intro from Andy and his cermonial putting on of the head gear, then Rob came out and did a hilarious routine as the "REAL FLIP SCOLDJAH". That was hilarious. Then Zieg stepped up and gave the REAL LIFE DRAFT GRADES which was a huge hit. Not everyone there knew what he was talking about but all the Footbizzlers there were laughing their asses off. FLIP and BRAH came next and it was a fucking hands down blast. We lost some of the crowd b/c we played a decently long set full of injokes, but shit - it was so fun to do. Opened with Ice as "Anderson Cooper" doing the coverage of the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Countries: Puppy Planet, Afghaniland, Puppy Land. Flags looked awesome as hell - openening event = DRANK SIPPIN! Had other hilarious skits with Hillary and Jared renewing their vows and taking the proceeds of the show to pay for the dread hat in Kum's Fashion (for the childrens). Will jumped in on one of the new jams and played the guitar solo as an amaszing Buckethead and slayed minds (at least mine, flip, ian, and ice's). Played 4 new ones (i think) and closed with Wings and Aint Nuthin But a Bizzle Thang. It was a jaaaaaam in all its ragged running around too much to think about glory. Right after we're over we put jon's "party mix" on the ipod - LOW in volume just to have something on while people were BUYING DRINKS FROM FLICKER and hanging. Jon and I look in the cooler and we have 2 coors lights sitting there so we each crack one and cheers a good show. One second later the bartender comes in and tells us to turn off the music (which was fucking so quiet) and that we couldnt have our own beer in there. FUCK THAT. Harshed. we packed the fuck up and got the fuck out of there. Flicker that was a harsh, bro. Packed it up and took it to Flip's place and had a few more beers there and called it a night. After 6 hours of sleep the night before and a day choc full of intensity i was beat.
SUNDAY: Had the world's longest brunch (2.5 HOURS!) at Mama's Boy - food was good but service was shitty. They ended up taking 1/2 our bill off which was cool, but damn - i think it got knixed from a few people's permanent list. Said goodbye to Will and Danielle - so fucking happy they came! Picked up Oz, hung with my parents, cooked dinner, went to bed. Worn the fuck out.
Awesome way to usher in 31 though. That and my KNOWSHON BLACKOUT JERSEY!!! BOOYEAAHHHH!H!!!!
