Is It Time To Go Hunker In A Bunker?

The hiatus is officially over.  Don't ask what happened if you don't already know...let's just blame it on a lack of internet connectivity.  Here are some pictures that will highlight the highlights.

Self Help Tapes...Second Hand at Unique in Chicago.

Mmmmmm...Pizza?  From a Factory?  Yes???

NO!

Not only does the filmy family make sparkling wine in a can...

I heart this.

And this.

And this.  God, that shirt looks great on me.

Oh Brother.

Other brother picks me up and deposits me at a surprise dance party.

Triple Double...Tuesday.

Hmmm...

Reflections in bad light and a dirty mirror.

The one, the only, PBG...or PB&J?

No way Bro!

Disdain + Love = A mildly disfunctional family

RAY TAHA...adorable!

Bruce and Lisa...not Katie.

Who invited MC Escher?

Graveyard.  Enough said.

Though I refuse to believe that summer is nearing its end (literally and figuratively), I have to admit the nights are cooler and the sunsets earlier.  Sigh.  Oh well, at least HPC will get some more love.

Sundays = Bliss

Sunday was a lot like Saturday. Food, drinks, friends.

Yes, that was me shifting as Sam, Ryan and I squished in the truck. Yellow light curtesy of the Guthrie. Best hair ever courtesy of me.

Spent the night bbq'ing at Luke & Kirsten's...which was fantastic. Thanks kids.

I'm not the only one who's broke...

Anyone want to go see this when it comes out? Sept. 5th in MPLS, although it will be showing at the Republican Convention the 1st - 4th.

I'm sure it's dumbed-down for the masses, but it still looks rather interesting if you ask me.

100% success (part deux)

I forgot to mention on the earlier blog that Ryan (Don Damiano) made my fucking day yesterday with the words that just kept spewing out of his mouth. Genius.

"I'm a popular fucking dude and I don't know anyone here." - Pizza Luce Block Party

"I'm known as fuck in Minneapolis and I haven't seen anyone that I know." - still at the Luce BP

"I hate when people have emotional breakdowns at block parties." - you guessed it...PLBP

"Chicks are so gay when they drink." - PLBP

"People love me here." - PLBP

"You're really bent out of shape cause dude went off on your boyfriend's boring shorts." - PLBP

- "I kinda like girls with breasts."
- (me) "You've said that a couple times."
- "Yeah...it's cause I mean it." - PLBP

"I'm 29, what am I doing?" - PLBP

As you can see...magic went down at that block party.

Sam isn't hyped...but I always will be...

Sam has taken to hating pretty fucking hard on everyone...as he says..."maybe I just don't get it"

Here is something I do get...Scott Seekins sightings will always make me happy. Always.
Pizza Luce Block Party.

100% Success

Simply a marvelous day in Minneapolis. You could not have requested better weather, better company, or better activities. I did bail out on the tour de franzia...and for that I am sorry. But really...does it get any cooler than this?

Anticipation...

What a lovely thing. I love knowing something wonderful is going to happen...and then letting that build. It usually makes it that much sweeter.

Today for example. I woke up, cracked my eyes, and saw blue skies and puffy clouds. Immediately I start thinking of the biking, fooding, drinking, and swimming I will be doing with friends today. Do I have plans? No. Do I need any? No. It always works out in the end.

I will try to do some photo documentation of the day, and maybe you'll get to see how lovely it was. Something for you all to anticipate? Ok. I know like two people read this, and I'm probably going to be hanging out with one of them. Fine. I'll anticipate those flicks on my own.

Whoopie, Wow, Whoa, Woo!
