this weekend kicked my ass!
the big Whistler trip came and went and my ass is still trying to recover!
thursday night... still wasn't done packing... got a text from Christine at 1:13am saying how the guys wanna leave at 5 or 6am. what?!?! so, i call and she said they're all there sleeping and i'm the only one missing... gotta pack with the quickness and drive to their house. i get to sleep on the floor of dan's dj studio. i barely sleep.. maybe from 3 to 7am.. i hear the guys starting to get ready. talking and moving around..
friday morning.. i'm a zombie.. i get my gear packed in the truck.. take a quick shower and everyone is ready to go by 8am... not bad..
we drive to dan and christine's store and regroup. head to smokey point to gas up, get snacks, some cash, ice for the cooler.. why did it take an hour to do all this? freaken crazy. we finally head to the border. we lost the truck. i'm riding with christine and dan. the four other guys are in alex's truck. we get to the boreder about the same time. picked the wrong line. lady was a bitch grillin' us. had to stop in at custom's and get dan cleared. dumb shit. anyways.. we head to vancouver for some lunch.
friday midday... we make it to robson street and park. we get our sushi on. all you can eat. we put in some work. i'm sick of tuna and salmon. we walk around trying to find the "jukebox guy" on cambie street. whatever. it's time to head to whistler.. pass lots of pretty scenery. the weather was perfect. we get to the hotel and unload. we hit up whistler village. find a pub to eat at and drink a beer. buckets of corona come our way. veggie lasagna was money, but i can't finish. alex buys shots for the young guns. they gotta learn how to kick it with the big boys! "feel the funk" as alex puts it. the shot is supposedly hennessey, but it's really 151.. jeremy can't hang. we follow him out and he yacks behind an empty booth. poor guy. alex is loving it. mike is maintaining.. good man. we leave and walk around for a while. get back to the hotel and chill. still too early for the clubs. alex just wants to go, but we're all tired. dan tells him to go to sleep for a bit. our "power nap" lasts all night. i'm stuck in between jeremy and quito (s/p?), kito?,.. i dunno.. it's not comfortable. take out my contacts at 12:30. everyone still sleeping.. i just wanna sleep. there goes our night..
saturday morning.. i'm awake with the sun at 6am.. everyone starts coming around. alex is pissed we missed out last night. haha.. aww well.. that's life.. everyone starts getting their gear on. lifts open at 8:30am. i grab a shower and braid my hair. getting boots on is the hardest part. we're ready and we head out. tickets were $73.80 Canadian. i swear Canada robbed me all weekend. fuckers. we take the gondolas up up and away.. to the top of the mountain. it was beautiful.. perfect day to ride. i loved every second.
even including the two hard times i ate it so hard my beanie flew off, leaving my left butt cheek tender.. it was all good. got some video of the guys taking on the kicker jeremy and dan built. funny stuff. tiring. all day we rode. freaken great. i love it!!! so drained by the time we get back to the hotel. no power naps allowed. dan, christine, mike, jeremy and i hit the pool and hot tub. good feelings. then i grab a shower and everyone gets ready to go out and eat. old spaghetti factory had a hour and a half wait.. fuck that.. the keg got rejected.. so we eat at our hotel's restaurant, La Trattoria. expensive, booshee ass place! my apple martini was half full when the waitress brought it out. robbed again. my tortelli cost $18 and it was dry. robbed again. fun times just being with the homies. kevin's ahi looked like money! yum. we finish and get back upstairs to prepare for clubbin'. still some time to kill. some people nap. while the rest get into CURLING! this sport is great. we get all excited. learn the techniques and root for our favorite teams. how lame. haha.. funny shit tho.. we see the m's are getting their asses whooped back home. nuts. Kevin is done. he's asleep already as we head out. his drowsy quote,"i take a nap before I sleep".. classic.. we leave with bottles of beer in our pockets. haha.. we get caught. 5-0 tell us to toss them. sucky! we find a booshee ass bar to kick it at till club time. i just have a black opal. alex is out to get the young ones again. hooks them up with beautifuls. haha.. it's great. buffalo soldier in effect. jerm got caught twice in one day. i got caught once. dammit. we almost run out on the bill. fucking retarded. we handled it tho. stupid chaos. hit up moe joe's. it was WHACKSAUCE! canada dj's suck ass! me and jeremy just wanna get our dance on. only got 2 decent songs and that was it. take a smoke break and everyone is separated. quito meets up with us. alex and mike come out too. dan and christine are gone. dunno where they went. avoiding drama i think. quito and alex close their tabs and me and mike and jeremy chill at the bar next door. at least they're playing the cuts. we head back to the room. chill and drink for a while.. then hit up 7-11.. jeremy doesn't know hot to use canadian money.. damn junk food is not my friend. eat some burritos and knock out! so uncomfortable again. jerm has no pillow, i have no room, quito took it all.. haha.. bastard!
sunday morning.... we wake up and start getting ready to check out. what a mess the room was. gross. but after we get everything organized, it's all good again. checked out and was all packed up by 10. hit up mcdonald's for breakfast. then head out to explore some of the scenery we saw on the way up. we stop at shannon falls and take pictures. climb around the rocks and trees. alex pees in the falls. now his dna is all over the place. haha.. he "left apart of himself" at the falls. i slip trying to jump onto a rock and my right shin mashes into it. nice bruise forming. we get bored and leave. heading to van-city again. i fell asleep and snored myself awake. haha.. dan and christine share stories about teeth and dogs. haha.. secrets that jerm and I are gonna try on other people. hahah.. nice.. we get lost and end up in burnaby. i call cuzin. she helps out. we finally get to robson again and walk around. we eat at a yakanuki joint. good shit. dan got the shabu shabu and it was not cracking. we leave and shop a little. i heart triple 5 soul! now we gotta get back to the us. canada done jacked me all weekend. damn you! missed the duty free exit, so we didn't get any cheap alcohol. apparently old asian folks know how to get down. hella of them were double fisting huge bottle of crown and shit. crazy muthas. back in USA!! i love you! gas up right quick, get my ice cream on and we're good to go.
sunday night... back home.. i CRASH!
good night people..
pics from the trip... ENJOY!
we're still trying to collect all of them.. gotta add jeremy's, christine's, mike's, and alex's pictures.. i'll update when they hook me up..
PEACE!
