Ah May, You Hurt So Good

Posted on May 12, 2010

I know, we’re halfway through May and I have yet to write a real post. Truth be told there’s been a lot going on but I’ve been too lazy to share. Between Sunfest, Cinco de Mayo and trips out of town it just seems I’m writing about the same stuff as last year.

Sunfest was a blast. I only did two days this year out of five. Saturday and Sunday and to be honest, the Sunday was a long one. The two days afterwards dealing with the hangover was a key factor in my lack of writing. Lots of live bands, booze and dining but it was a great time.

Cinco de Mayo I busted my ass to get as much work done as possible and only made my way down the street around 4pm. Rocco’s was once again the perfect spot to celebrate.

The rest was all a good time as well. Between taking time off and working my ass to make up for it there’s been little time or energy to record it all. I’ve been trying to get better at it but it seems like I’ve been pretty non-stop with my own clients and my large client in Washington so when the day is done I’m really in no mood to write. Hell, I’ve even slacked off of the FaceBook thing but honestly I think that was getting a bit out of hand.

So many family members are now friends, especially those I haven’t even spoken to years. Ah well, such is life online.

The Birthday Weekend

Posted on December 16, 2009

Bryan, Me and Jamie

It actually turned out pretty cool. Friday night before I got to hang out with Vinny, Annette, George and Frank over at Vinny’s place. The rest of the evening was a bit of a bummer but that’s how it goes.

Saturday night was a lot of fun. We hit Roxy’s new rooftop bar on our way to Lost Weekends. The rooftop bar was very cool; actually made you feel like you in the city. I ended up running into a couple stunners who recognized me from Halloween as the SWAT guy. I guess I made an impression because they weren’t the only ones to bring up that costume that night.

From there we pretty much bounced around Clematis. I had to stop into Rocco’s since Stacy said she had a shot waiting for me. Can’t let that go to waste. I ran into Rocco who gave me a full bottle of Patron for my birthday. Awesome, thanks Rocco!

Rocco’s, Lost Weekends, Feelgoods, Monarchy, Roxy’s upstairs and Down and who knows where else we went. It was a great time!

Halloween Photos

Halloween photos - Me, Jaime and Connor

After a week of the photos being up on Facebook, it’s time to share with the rest of you. Moonfest / Halloween this year was a great time. I spent a couple months putting together the perfect SWAT team costume complete with military boots, authentic SWAT team vest, airsoft gun, holster and helmet (though I didn’t wear the helmet out).

Lots of great costumes down on the street. My vest was packed with little airplane bottles of rum and vodka, a flask of Milagro and three Corona Light cans. No need to spend too much that night at all on Clematis.

Not sure when I made it home but I did, safe and sound. Here are all of the photos from the night’s festivities.

Another Weekend Gone

Posted on October 5, 2009

Monday morning is here once again. This past weekend was pretty mellow though there were some note worthy events.

Jamie’s birthday was on Saturday so by chance I happened to run into them on Friday night. In the process of trying to watch a movie on Friday night Primecasts satellite connection went down (of course) so I headed downstairs to pick up a handful of movies from Netflix which were in my mailbox. I stepped out front for a few minutes when I ran into Jamie and friends waiting for the rain to pass. They were on their way to Oshea’s but the downpour impeded their progress across the street. So I offered my umbrella and was invited along for a few drinks.

From there I visited Rocco’s and then over to Opa to see my buddy Ramil who was out with friends.

Saturday was the big 610 barbecue. I was asked to do the grilling so bring on the meat. I must have cooked over 60 burgers and who knows how many dogs for what was to be a great turnout. After grilling for a couple hours I wanted to catch the Ohio State game (which wasn’t even on TV). Needless to say we won! Turned in early and called it a night.

Sunday was up early for a ride to the beach and a coffee / breakfast at Starbucks in downtown. Lunchtime was in the mood for Chipotle so I hopped on the bike and headed for Linton Ave in Delray. Nice little ride and the weather was perfect.

Sunday afternoon by the pool just being lazy and that’s pretty much it. I’m sure the barbecue photos will be up on Bob’s site soon so I’ll link them up for you guys.

Update: Here’s Bob’s page with photos of the event
