The Climax

Ok, ok... So I have to catch my little blog up to the going-on's this past weekend!

Friday during the day was actually kind of blah. I didn't work the night before so was up when Wes went to work and stayed up for the remainder of the day (sometimes is weird to be awake during the day when there's no school). I did laundry in preparation for the weekend and probably straightened the bedroom up (because I know a certain someone snoops while no one is around). Wes got home, we packed, and went on our way!

Once we got to Sam's, we all decided that we would do dinner at New Deck then head directly from there to Mad Mex. New Deck was a nifty place but the table of people we sat next to were very loud. Not just like... absent mindedly loud, but like, obnoxious-off-the-wall loud. It was something we could laugh at though. After dinner and a round of drinks there we migrated to Mad Mex!!! We ended up getting the big round table across the restaurant from the bar! A couple of $7, 22oz margarita's later and it was already nearly midnight. We headed back to the house and started watching Batman Begins in Sams room because Sams roommates and their boyfriends were taking over the living room (where the pull-out couch is). Matt and I fell asleep. At one point in the night, Wes left the room to go smoke and heard both of Sams roommates having loud sex in their bedrooms (at which point he knew the pull-out would be available for sleeping now). So he woke me up and drug me to bed and everyone settled in for the night.

Saturday was Sams big day! She had two photos displayed at a gallery in Southish Philly. We didn't realize how big a deal it actually was until we found out that over 400 people from all over the world had submitted over 1,600 photo's to be considered for this show!!! Sam, the most local and one of the youngest photographers not only had two prints in the show but received an honorable mention from the judge!!! One of Wes and I's photos from our first shoot was submitted but it was the naked picture of Matt and Sams nude self-portrait that made it. You can see them standing next to their pictures at the gallery here!

After browsing and having some wine (from plastic cups none-the-less!) we went straight from the gallery to dinner at the Irish Pub. Then... To McGilligan's for $5 pitchers! I don't like icky beer (pabst, miller/bud/coors light) so Wes and I got Yeungling pitchers. We were there for a loooooong time and I had a waitress bully me about tip when we were leaving but I was still a good time.

From there we ended up back at Sams apartment and invited Jeff, Kyle, Mallory and Rob over. Unfortunately, they'd only been there for ten minutes when Sams psycho roommate went psycho (go figure!) and everyone left. We were all thinking that if it had only happened a half-hour later, when Mallory had had some drinks, psycho roommate probably would've gotten punched in the face. But everyone left and Kyle, Mallory and Rob went straight back to Perkasie. Wes, Matt, Sam and I ended up going to Jeff's for a bit to cool off and release some steam. When we got back to Sams all was quiet and we tucked in for the night.

Sunday we went to South Street for lunch and more pictures! We ended up at Tattooed Moms because it was cheap (half-priced sandwiches!!!) and Sam loves their vegetarian menu. It was really place actually. My friend Steve had always talked about going there for Pabst $1 pounders so I thought it was a crummy place... but it's really good eats during the day.

Sam took some more pictures of me and Wes. We started off in Repo Records but the lighting wasn't good so all of those pictures will probably come out blurry... From there we went to a street corner and then to a park right off South Street. I actually got to see a few of our prints from our first photo shoot and was really excited for her to take some more!

The trip back to Sellersville is always quiet and depressing... double for me since it was the official end to my birthday weekend and I had to go into work that night. It was a good weekend though spent with good friends!!!

Last night we went to see Yes Man with Jim Carrey and some new chick that Wes and Kyle now have a crush on. The movie is completely ridiculous but since it's Jim Carrey, it works.

First day of classes tomorrow... what a drag dood.
