america f*ck yeah!
god.. what a blast its been the last couple weekends. 3 day weekend for the win!!! but, i supposed its best to start from the beginning, like any good story does. Last weekend was my roommate Mat's 28 birthday... it was our first party in our new place. it was hectic... but all came together eventually. Keg, Fire Pit, Flip Cup and lots of tequilla shots... it was awesome, lots of people showed up and we actually finished the keg! Craziness. That sunday was spent going to the community pool with Mat, Mike and Laila and grilling out that evening... it was, quite simply, one of the best sunday's i've had in awhile.
Fast forward to this thursday...
All the roommates have friday off! Why not throw another party? :D
well... friday, the 3rd, was chicago's firework celebration. so we headed over to Laila's friend's rooftop and watched the show. Unfortunaly the skyscrapers were just a little too high, so we only saw the highest/biggest explosions, but everyone in the neighborhood seem to have their own mortars and shit we pretty much had our own firework show right there, all around us. after that we went to some michael jackson deck party. I can't tell u how many times i've heard, pyt, billie jean and wanna be startin something the last 2 weeks, but no matter, i'm not sick of them yet!!!
Anyway, friday was a blurr after that party...
Saturday was cloudy and rainy, and everyone was incredibly hung over... so we discussed the fact that we since our downstairs neighbors were already throwing a party, we might not have a one and just mooch off them and have a couple people over to chill. and though things started out quite... it quickly got crazy.
Our downstairs neighbors must have bought a couple thousand dollars worth of fireworks... it was a freaking warzone outside... literally. mortars going off street level. 1/4 sticks of dynamite, etc. NUTS! Then the next thing i know, mike comes down and starts telling everyone on the street we are having a dance party up in our place. I help spread the word and make my why up for a beer and a bathroom pit stop. Upon leaving the bathroom i notice that our place is now FULL of people DANCING!!! and mike's screaming at me, "get up on this table!"
so next thing i know, mike and i are on our table breaking it down!!! drunken blurrrrrrr.... now there's 7 other people on the table. our living room is literally a sea of bodies dancing! i blackout shortly after... i have no idea what else happened, soooo drunk. but apparently i made it out to go get tacos at 4am... and made a fool of myself, lol.
sunday, as u may have expected was awesome as well. mat, laila and i went to earwax and got some good breakfast, chilled in wicker park throwing the Frisbee around, headed to small bar later that evening for some drinks. got some food for grilling and grilled out again.
awesome awesome awesome weekend. didn't think anything could top last weekend, but this certainly did.
ENJOY!
