July Awesomeness!!!!!

I was sitting here reminiscing about how amazing July was and I'd like to thank all my friends who were a part of it. In chronological order, as opposed to awesomeness, I'd like to list some of the things I did.

7/6 Party at Paris' place. Some drinking games with a deck of cards, a keg, and the ability to see Paris for the first time in ages. Later I stopped by Tonk's place and then met up [again] with Hallie and her roommate Brittany. Drinking ensued.

7/14 Pirate Party. Karen Stotts brainchild. It all began a while back when Karen bought a toy pirates of the carribean sword at target. Months later we are wearing our eyepatches, tricorn hats and bandannas to drink domestic beer in amazing weather.

7/16 Chris Cornell concert. Hallie's bro Charlie working with the Hennepin theater district organized the Chris Cornell concert which was amazing. He played songs from Soundgarden, Audioslave and a few songs from his solo career. Spoonman, Black Hole Sun, Doesn't Remind Me, Cochise and the Bond Theme to Casino Royale.

7/21 Sneaky Pete's. This time I brought some friends to prove to them how cool the bar was. The night was not a disappointment. The power went out for a brief period, and when it came back all the patrons were awarded free drinks and t-shirts were passed out. This is just some of the cool stuff that could happen at a bar with smokin' waitresses and stripper poles on the dance floor.

7/22-24 Uncle Roger's cabin. Up on Little Toad Lake, in Frazee, MN (near Detroit Lakes) is my fishing hole. I caught a lot of sunfish, but I had no luck with my spinners. This was a great chance to relax and fish.

7/25 The last G8 show. My first time at Big V's in St. Paul. As usual G8 put on a great show, I have put pictures from the show up on my website Right Here

7/27 Ian's Birthday party. Not much to say. A lot of drinking ensued, and a few of us partied until sunrise.

7/28 Anna's 80's themed Bday party. This time I got to wear my jean jacket with a japanese headband to a themed party at the Doubletree. More fun ensued. Interestingly, two of my friends, Anna and Ian have the same birthdate.

7/31-8/4 I leave to camp at the Land. The notorious, the infamous, the Land. You ought to sign a waiver for medical expenses because with a week of drinking someones going to get hurt. Last year I was in the serious accident when I rolled my Isuzu Trooper. I left for the land right after receiving my corisone shot to fix my arm from that accident. This year Sam put a pretty big gouge into his chin. Aside from the accidents, this is the best camping trip ever, with swimming and laying at the beach all day, cliff jumping, bocce, scrabble, and a game called caseball.

Anyways, all these events made for an amazing month that sort of signify the end of my college days and start of my career.
