Birthday #27. There's no real story to be told - a bunch of kids got together at Ludlow Bar, people bought me a lot of shots, I don't remember anything after 11pm or so, though I was apparently out till 2am.
I kept most of the photos below in chronological order and tried to piece together the evening with snippits of IM conversations. Watch the natural progression from happy to drunk to drizzunk.
Summer Reading: Make sure to check out Randy's take @ hifiny.com
Syarcuse kids. Note special guest stars Azar and Andrew Kiley (in from Ohio!) in the back.
Me and one of the Beard brothers. (I believe this is the first shot of the night... I held off taking shots till 9:00 as I was making an honest effort to "pace myself")
IndieStacey: dear dennis,
IndieStacey: you once told me i gave you the 'best birthday present ever'
IndieStacey: however, i see no representation on teendrama.com.
IndieStacey: what good are gifts if they don't buy me fame?
IndieStacey: xoxoxo
IndieStacey: love,
IndieStacey: stacey
1. ITP kids, er, excluding Gabe.
2. Tequila. (Stoopid Alex)
3. Aftermath.
Followed up by the late arrival of Little Brother Jonathan and hometown neighbor Tim Fallon.
Special thanks to Karen and Christine who brought delicious Magnolia Bakery cupcakes. In the background, some Mike Sharon, a little Shawn Van Every and the omnipresent Ron Goldin.
Jonathan licking the frosting off a lucky cupcake...
... and feeding it to Ms. Courtney.
La Boomer and Gabe. This photo suggests scandalous behavior.
Jonathan spilling drinks.
ITP represent. Courtney, Daniel and Mike. (All drinking water?)
More tequila with La Boomer.
Masquarading as simply a photo of me and the legendary Shawn Van Every, who would have guessed this is the original shot behind the famed digicam taking a pic of a digicam taking a pic?
And even more tequila with Scuba Steve and Brian Battjer from ikeepadiary.com fame.
Special guest appearance by Rob Sterling and Lockhart Steele.
Okay, below this line is what I don't remember... or at least what I didn't remember until I heard the stories second-hand.
More Lockhart/Sterling action.
krucoff: do you remember taking off your shirt and tackling lockhartstelle?
dpstylesMTV: oops
Jeffers and Chicken McDugan? Where they'd come from? Oh, and hello little Ms. Courtney all hiding in the corner.
dpstylesMTV: in all honesty
dpstylesMTV:i don't remember even seeing you that night
TobiasBlue: I came post-11pm
dpstylesMTV: exactly.
Pull up contest between Kiley...
... and me...

... and Jonathan...
... who was poked in the stomach until he let go of whatever-it-was that we were using for pullups - at which point he dropped his pants, smacked Steve...
... then took off his shirt.
TobiasBlue: I was talking to Jill by the bar, asked what she thinks you would want to drink and I looked over at you, and you were downing TWO shots of something TobiasBlue: so I decided to ask before buying you something
TobiasBlue: and you said "do not buy me ANYthing"
While I do remember playing pool against the only three random (cute, no?) girls that were there, I don't recall...
ssimmons11: the pool games had degenerated into drunken monkeyshines
ssimmons11:and as i was walking by you and your brother were screwing around the cue ball was right in front of the left side pocket and a stripe ball was in front of the right side pocket - essentially a straight shot.
ssimmons11: jonathan put a quarter on the table a few inches in front of the stripe ball (it might actually have been a solid - my point is that it wasn't the cue ball) and then put his 'junk' right in the line of fire, directly behind the right side pocket.
ssimmons11: you shot and the cue ball flew up off of the table, over the stripe ball, hit jonathan in the crotch, bounced off his crotch, back onto the table, and knocked the stripe ball into the left side pocket. shenanegans ensued.
ssimmons11: the end.
Me and HiFi Randy.
hifirandy: dens was drizzunk last nite
krucoff: oh man, i was talking to him earlier about it
hifirandy: hows he feeling?
krucoff: he said he feels like puking
krucoff: he doesnt remember the shirt pulling off, wrestling lockhart stuff
hifirandy: hahaha
hifirandy: man ... good to see the other side
hifirandy: as in, for once it wasnt me
hifirandy: i was worried he was gonna get kicked out
hifirandy: (hoping, actually)
krucoff: dude, ditto (infinity) for me
krucoff: meaning glad it wasnt me this time
hifirandy: ha. right ...
More Syracuse kids. (This time featuring Nathania).
dpstylesMTV: was it that bad?
SuperKBKB: um, yes
SuperKBKB: you tried to make out with me 87 times
dpstylesMTV: i did NOT try to make out w/ you!!!!
SuperKBKB: um YES YOU DID
dpstylesMTV: oops - no one told me that
dpstylesMTV: i am sorry
SuperKBKB: the best part about this was that boomer told me if you were too rowdy and i neeeded to help (as she was sitting next to me in a conversation with alex) to say DOUGHNUT
dpstylesMTV: hahahah
SuperKBKB: no i never resorted to yelling doughnut because i was too busy wrestling you off me
SuperKBKB: and i didn't think you would *really* make out with me
And again. (Note stoopid Randy in the background)
And me riding Courtney like a pony.
krucoff: do you remember making out with some girl wearing armsleeves
dpstylesMTV: nonoonnono
dpstylesMTV: i DID NOT make out with her
krucoff: pool table
krucoff: proper
dpstylesMTV: oh man
krucoff: ok ok, i was joking about the making out part
And me and Jackie.
Embarassing.
This just screams late night, esp. Alex's makeshift Big Buck antlers.
SuperKBKB: my favorite part of the evening was when you said, "karen, can i go home?"
SuperKBKB: and i said, "yes, i think you NEED to go home."
SuperKBKB: and you said, "you are my very best friend. no one else will let me go home."
... as does this.
That's pretty much it. There were about no fewer than 7 digicams in the house that night - if you have any other pics, send them on over.
ps: Of the 94 pics I took, I had none of Lauren. Where are you, Lauren Horse?!
