Beers, Blowouts, & Black Crowes

Since I am too lazy to search for topics of interest on the internet today, I have decided to type a (somewhat brief) recap of my (long) weekend. Here are the highlights:

Following a late Wednesday night, I felt like mung wrapped in AIDS as I arrived at a charity golf tournament on Thursday. My intense headache quickly evaporated (along with my golf game), thanks to the beers & jello shots (yes, jello shots) provided on nearly every other hole. A total blackout before sundown forced me into bed around 9:30

My first 30 minutes of Friday morning were spent praying to the "porcelain godess". After doing my best Nicole Ritchie impersonation and suffering through a full day at the office, I was off to Chapel Hill for homecoming. Here I attended an alumni fraternity party featuring Doug Clark & the Hot Nuts. Doug (who died years ago) was probably doing cartwheels in his casket as he listened to his (senior citizen) former bandmates cover Rihanna songs.

Following last call on Friday, most of my friends returned to their old dorm (Granville Towers) to spend the night. Since it was so cheap (& is now rented like an stripped down hotel), one of my Jewish pals dropped his room at a normal motel to stay here. Did I mention we told him a password to receive an additional discount on the room? He called Granville and actually managed to slip "foreskin" into his conversation with the booking agent, thinking it would save him some money.

The game on Saturday was a blowout (how you like them apples, Opie...UNC > GaTech). To celebrate, many of my friends spent the entire day pounding liquor drinks. One managed to steal an "Event Security" jacket from the game. Later in the evening, he kicked two guys out of a local bar, stole their girlfriends, and "drew a map of the Caribbean" on one of their tight 19 year old stomaches. Good Stuff...

Meanwhile, I was in Raleigh catching the Black Crowes concert. It was a great show on a beautiful night. They closed with a sweet cover of The Band's "Don't Do It". Check out the video below. Outside of my Keith Richards-esque alcohol induced insomnia, it was a pretty unbeatable way to spend my time away from work...
