IDK last Saturday?
Category: going out

IDK what to title it, I just need to catch up!

On Saturday, I stopped at RadioShack to for some parts to fix an old air hockey table. They're now down to two racks of electronics parts, with the rest of the store selling phones and electronics you can get online for way less. I'm surprised they exist still.

Afterward I went to Goodwill to see if there was any good Halloween costume stuff. While I didn't find anything, I did see they were selling this giant full size VHS camcorder, and a B*Witched CD.

When I got home, (e:terry) and I were going to check out Porchfest, but it was already over. I didn't hear too much about it so I don't think we missed anything?

Instead we headed over to (e:YesThatCasey)'s new place to pick up Terry's bike and play some video games. They were all super weird. I'm terrible at video games but these were sort of manageable. Terry rode back while I ran.

Emily and Kevin came over from Falafel Bar since Kevin was home on fall break. It took a while, but eventually we managed to get up and head out to Hardware.

We ended up schlamping it up at DBGB's to some really slow music, and then the Pink (definitely wasn't drunk enough for that but there we were).

Not too crazy of a night but a good one for sure.

Gypsy Parlor and Paul's hot date
Category: going out

Gypsy Parlor this past Friday was fun, with (e:YesThatCasey), (e:Paul), (e:Terry) and Sameer. It seemed pretty light in terms of crown and dancing, but I guess it hasn't even had it's grand opening yet so word hasn't gotten out. The building itself was very well renovated, and the food was good. They had some good beers also, even though they seemed expensive.

Bright light

Paul took home a hot date for the HOloween~~Halloween~~ party. He seemed a little stiff to me, but whatever!

joe - 10/11/13 00:29
@Robert IDK we might! Not sure what else is going on tomorrow!

and corrected, but don't worry I know how to spell. After all, I attended the Harvard of KenTon elementary schools...

tinypliny - 10/10/13 19:49
he seems a bit short to me, but whatever!

lilho - 10/10/13 11:33
Minus that extra O.

lilho - 10/10/13 11:33
It's HOlooween... Lets get that straight.

Robert - 10/08/13 20:45
Are you guys gonna go? I might hit that up!

joe - 10/08/13 20:32
Yeah it got more crowded as the night went on, maybe we left too early!

I saw they're having their actual grand opening next week: :::link:::

Robert - 10/08/13 20:29
You guys shouldhave come saturday! It got so crazy packed. I went the same day the weekend before and it was body to body but the music and dancing were good.

Jones Pond
Category: camping

After we left the wedding reception around 10 on Saturday night, (e:paul), (e:terry) and I headed to Jones Pond to catch up with (e:mike) and (e:libertad). Even though we didn't get in until after midnight, we did get there in time to witness Mike threatening to throw Dave in the fire, because he didn't get walked to the bathroom. I'd be upset too.

I didn't take many pictures after my phone died. Sunday was super relaxing and consisted mostly of an easy hike, laying in the sun all day, and tossing the football around for a bit. I hadn't been to Jones before but apparently this was the last weekend for camping, so we were pretty much the only ones there.

We drove back home in the late afternoon, and then had an absolutely amazing potato cheddar soup that Terry made (didn't even need to be turned into falafel).

Pic does not do it justice

Definitely a relaxing end to a crazy weekend.

Who am I? Quick bio! I am (e:Paul)'s very remote best friend and former neighbour. I miss him and my extended family at (e:strip) a lot. Occasionally, I catch him online but mostly I love catching up on everyone's days here. I used to blog here but over time, I found that the pictures I wanted to share outnumbered my opinions. I also acquired too many android devices and G+ sort of stole my heart. I will try and find you there so you can see how mundane I really am.

I absolutely love that your blog lets me see my favourite people every day! And I hear (e:paul) and (e:terry) are absolutely in love with you. Which makes me... very remotely fascinated with you as well. ;-)

joe - 10/11/13 00:35
Sort of a faux-falafel! Terry just added chickpea flour to the soup until it was thick enough to fry!

And I don't know who you are tinypliny, but I absolutely love that you comment on almost every entry on here!

tinypliny - 10/10/13 19:51
How do you turn soup into falafel? Doesn't it work better in the opposite direction??

heidi - 10/08/13 13:11
I agree, very good soup. The weird soup falafel wasn't bad, but pretty much anything deep fried is good (except cauliflower. I'm still against it.)

Wedding and Rendevous
Category: wedding

Last weekend (still so over a week behind) (e:Paul) and I caught up with (e:Terry), (e:heidi), (e:dianne), (e:YesThatCasey) and (e:xandra) at Goodbar for part of Barb and Cara's bachelorette party. It was really nice to meet them and really awesome of them to invite me to tag along with Paul and Terry to the wedding and reception the next day.

Selfies as per ush

After Goodbar, the three of us headed out to Rendevous to use our free tickets to some DJ. The music was pretty decent and dancing was fun, but we didn't stay long since it was already so late and Terry was absolutely wiped.

Cool kids

The next day was the wedding at Pilgrim-St. Luke's on Richmond, followed by the reception at Aqcua. It was a very cute celebration and the reception was awesome. I wish them all the best!

Sunny but cute!

M&M's - one of many

tinypliny - 10/10/13 19:54
All of you - look gorgeous. :)

However, (e:Heidi) looks extra-ravishing! :))

Thirsty Thursday
Category: going out

Last Thursday (oops I'm behind), (e:mike), (e:libertad), (e:paul), (e:terry) and (e:xandra) went out to Fugazi and Cathode Ray. The lessons I learned was that you should never leave your phone with Mike, and that I can't handle Thirsty Thursday like a few months ago. The bike ride to work the next morning was more like a ride on the strugglebus. I miss being able to skip class if it got too rough.
