i think i came out of it relatively unscathed, comparatively. well, comparatively to my mother. my mom met us out at the beacon tap and was shit-TAY. SHIT. TAY. my lord. drinking shots of southern comfort. but i was flying high for a good while before common sense got the best of me and i started drinking water and stole a cab home from some dudes.
Anna's little brother was our personal chauffer all night, coming to pick us up from a bar in the minivan only under the condition that we give him $5. it was pretty awesome. oh, and mike came out to the bar crawl, which was also awesome because mike never does anything fun. and he left his jacket on the whole night, as always, until the very end. i have a picture.
i brought a little taste of the karaoke assassins to des plaines, also. there was karaoke at the beacon and some dude did "don't stop believin'" and i was so incensed (that's
AMANDA'S song)!!!! that i did "tell it to my heart" and then "i wanna dance with somebody." it was wonderful.
mike, anna, and derek waiting in the parking lot of the RAND ROADHOUSE (hotdogs and fries were $2 and beers were $1.50) for anna's little brother to pick us up in the minivan. note mike's "happy face".
mike took this action shot of me (right corner) playing some bowling arcade game at countryside in unincorporated des plaines. that's where the bad kids live.
SO HARDCORE. SO HARDCORE.
Carol and anna. I like this picture because of the kid in the background.

ACTION SHOT! two strikes in a row, WHATEVER.
this was mike's suggestion to anna for the question: "hair up or down?"
and this is derek's solution to having to pee.
mike, derek (different one), and someone at the townhouse inn. she was awesome.
anna and her gym leader in high school were reunited again.
mike pushed me into the bushes on our way to the beacon, and derek and anna joined me.
derek stole the microphone from this lady and sang with her. we don't know who she is.
