the best weekends

some people probably think the best weekends are the ones they don't remember. well, not me. i remember (almost) everything. so let's take a stroll down memory lane...

when: september 2006

what: a spontaneous road trip with new friends, dinner at starr hill for free (r.i.p.), valentine's day gymnastics party (complete with decorations), missing out on the biltmore dance party, zydeco, jaberwoke dance party, frolicking home on the lawn and of course no trip to charlottesville would be complete without a speeding ticket on 29.

when: february 2007
where: old town alexandria
what: dinner at las tapas (complete with flamenco dancers) and then a night of fun at px (seriously if you haven't been yet - give clint a call and get yourself on the list!).

when: president's day weekend 2007
where: all over dc
what: birthday party at posh w/ guys we had never met, following those guys to love only to be left out on the street (literally), attempting to find the bathroom in the hyatt (note: i don't think it exists), riding the metro home w/ some freaks who started lighting matches (later babes), brunch/shopping on u street, lunch at matchbox and then watching nari try to get home from arlington and somehow managing to go over the 14th street bridge back into dc.


when: march 2007
where: somewhere near the air force memorial in arlington
what: getting completely lost in arlington (go around, go around), finally making it to our friend's house just in time for the uva game (which they lost - booooooooo), playing a pretty awesome made up game involving a keg and a solo cup (needless to say it involved a lot of drinking and we didn't make it home that night).

when: st. patricks day 2007
where: grevey's, manhattan place, georgetown
what: afternoon beers at grevey's, beer madness taste test (shiner bock won!), interpretive dance ping pong, a hilarious 20 minute wait at the metro, meeting mark at garrett's, playing shamrock dice while doing car bombs and meeting the infamous johnny c (hey, at least he makes for some great stories).


when: march 2007
where: all over dc
what: beers at rfd, beers at the caps game, beers at rocket bar, beers at garrett's, beers at guards.

when: cinco de mayo 2007
where: manhattan place, chantilly, georgetown
what: two trips to total wine in chantilly (and once was during our party!), a keg of dos equis, lots and lots of tequila (we even filled our pinata with tequila!), playing one of the best games of king ever, keg stands (in a dress!), ending up at the guards and then taking a cab home w/ a driver that owns h-mart.

when: memorial day weekend 2007
where: arlington, dc
what: thursday night - happy hour on the rooftop (i think this was tbd night). friday "night" - sake bombs at cafe asia, dr. dremos for some jenga and cards (yes, we brought our own), and some late night arm wrestling on the metro ride home. saturday night - a chill night at garrett's w/ jorts.

when: june 2007
where: georgetown
what: polishing off two bottles of wine with kristen on her rooftop, taking kristen to dinner for her birthday (and having all of her friends waiting at the restaurant as a surprise), having a mika lookalike as our waiter at dinner, taking over multiple bars in georgetown and having the most crucial late night black light dance party in my bedroom.

when: august 2007
where: somewhere on the shenandoah, manhattan place, dc
what: my birthday of course:) we started the day floating down the river, then we dominated some pizza and cocktails (and sake bombs) at our house, then we had a drink at science club and took over the basement at porter's.
