The Zachelor

So this weekend was Zach's bachelor weekend. Turbo, Rick, and Jake came up, we partied a lot, etc. It was a pretty crazy/good time.

Rick pulled into the driveway Friday and barely said "hi" before he started pulling Coronas, chips, and salsa out of the trunk for Cinco de Mayo, haha. The rest of the night was fairly laid back - hanging out, rock bottom, etc.

Saturday, we woke up, went to look at a Ford GT, and then worked on the pocket bike. We rebuilt the carburetor, tuned it a bit, and now it runs like a champ. After that, a bunch of us paintballed which was a really good time. There was an amish lady playing that had a dress on - I totally shot her, haha.

Later we all met up at my house, grilled, hung out, dropped by …

BDs, DMA, GDP, LOL

blog, blog, blog. i hate not having time to blog, cause then i have to write these really long articles about a billion things - then everyone is all like, "that is long, i'm not reading that." it really bugs me when people don't blog. i like to know what's up, and then i don't do it - stupid.

so yeah. last weekend kari's dad came down for his 50th birthday. the plan was originally to see some sweet aerosmith and cheap trick, but steven tyler apparently turned into a pansy all of a sudden, haha. stupid 60 year old rockers... always getting weak. instead we just did the normal thing, ate lots, made beer, went out, etc. it was a good time though. we toured a dude's insane homebrew setup and learned quite a bit.

during that …

Paintballing with Sushi and Steak

Being broke is suddenly "alright" when Kari's parents come to visit, ha. We always eat well, make beer, watch movies, etc. Seriously, Friday, we went to Taki like I've never been to Taki before. We got so much food... edamame, squid salad, soup, tons of specialty rolls, lots of nigiri, and I have never seen anyone else do this, but we got dessert at Taki. Not 1, but 2 desserts. Plus Sapporo, Saketinis, and a couple free shots from the sushi bar - it's hard to turn those down. Later we watched movies and tried one of the weirdest beers ever.

Saturday we shopped a lot. We got beer supplies, another carboy at the Homebrew shop (to double the size of the homebrewery). Kari got lots of clothes and Jeff got lots of Apple stuff at …

Hip Hop, Punk, Arnold, and a Party

This week was a pretty good one. Monday I went to the Brother Ali/Swollen Members/Gaiden show at Vaudeville Mews. It was awesome. Swollen Members are really hype and Brother Ali is really good.

Wednesday, Kari and I went to a Cornell alumni thing at Mondo's in Des Moines. It was pretty nice to see some people and hear some things going on at Cornell. But it's also pretty funny that after all the money we spent on that school we had to pay for our own food and drinks. Then I met Zach @ Val Air for the Reliant K/MXPX show. It was pretty funny. We walked in to the biggest crowd I've seen at Val Air so far - 95% of which were H.S. kids. The number of zits in that crowd was INSANE. Plus there were soooooo many girls. It was like …
