it was a pretty weak celebration. it was too cold and i'm sure people thot it would be raining all weekend. plus, there was the all star game going on this weekend, too.
i didn't have to work and i didn't have boston here to hang out with. i sometimes work a beer booth and that keeps me pretty busy the first weekend. this year, they had everything covered. also, boston's been gone for a couple of years now, but i always think about him during this time. we just always had a lot of fun hanging out and watching the bands.
friday - kinda finished picking up around my place. i wasn't really expecting anyone. it was too damn cold and nobody wanted to leave the warmth of the bars. i ended up hanging out with my telecomm buddies. they were splitting time between my place and another party at the roof garden. it was a good time. we had a few drinks, walked around for a bit, went to 21, and i called it an early nite. i missed my honey.

saturday - telecomm1 called me for breakfast. i met him and his wife out for mescan. it was the first time i'd met his wife and she was glad cuz she said she's heard plenty about me. about how cool i was and all. you know, the usual. afterwards, i took a burrito to my buddy and had a bloody mary. waiting for my annual friend to get into town.
when she got there, we made our way to the seawall where it easily could have doubled as a ghost town. it was the cold. it kept everybody in. we still met up with my co-worker friends at a warm and cozy bar.

a little later, we had some lunch then made our way to jeff's mom's house. thank god brad & dana were there. jeff went out of town. jake, his brother, was shooting the all-star game and gabe is MIA. these are the regulars. also, with jeff and jake not being there, there were NO CRAWFISH TAQUITOS!! how could they?!?!? that's the one thing i look forward to every year! yes... when we move, we (or i, myself) will still make it down for the first weekend and CRAWFISH TAQUITOS!

after the parade and very interesting conversation (another story all on it's own), we made our way back downtown. we made the usual rounds and ended the nite at whiskey's, which also made for interesting conversation. two of the bar peeps are getting married. the groom was really excited to tell me about it. he told me all about the wedding party and his buddy, mike, being "his second". what are we.... racing at thunder road??? anyways, he goes on to tell me that the groomsmen are wearing... are you ready for this... vampire tuxedos. what the hell is a vampire tuxedo??? i googled it and only saw vampire costumes. he also said the bridesmaids were wearing vampiress dresses. he then went on to tell me that she would be the only light surrounded by darkness. his face lit up when he talked about it. in his mind, it was beautiful and that's all that matters.
sunday - i begged the tacqueria to deliver breakfast tacos to us. since the streets were all blocked off we compromised and i met them a block away. that was the best deal ever made! we didn't have to walk the six blocks in the freezing cold and we got to eat in our jammies! and watched bubble boy
we pretty much just lounged around until around 4:00. after that, my annual friend went home and i continued watching re-run movies on tbs.
i wanted to play with my new toy... my 400G external hard drive. yes, i am a true gadget geek! instead, started downloading pictures and video from the weekend.
good nite and have a pleasant tomorrow.
