Brent-fest

Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 15, 2006

sooooo, we had a little weekend for mr. brent nix in celebration of his imminent coupling with one sara ruth. so, we headed up to john’s lake house. not the new one, the new one’s not finished yet. thankfully they still have the old one. i think if i ever have a lake house, i too will make sure i have a spare; just in case i need to host an event and my regular house is unavailable.

anyway, the first night consisted of dinner at the toccoa river restaurant and then some beer pong at john’s house, finished off by some late night jumping off of the dock and nearly burning the house down while cooking bacon after shotgunning beers.

john dressed up REEAAALL nice for the beer pong.

we had fun discussions like this one where stephen relays how john robbed him in nicaragua.

it wouldn’t have been brent’s bachelor party if brent didn’t trot out his scottish accent..no wait; actually it morphed into english that time. weird!

then it was on to the beerpong.

beerpong is a damn fine game, and this was a great incarnation of it. you line up your cups like bowling pins. you try and ring the cup, and when a cup is rung, that cup is drunk. good times!! the first bit of that clip features tim rattling home an amazing shot. truly the greatest beerpong shot that my eyes have ever witnessed.

afterwards we were all pretty drunk, and then stephen’s cell phone apparently looked at tim the wrong way. this led to stephen’s cell phone getting stabbed to death.

the next day (after we got brent some waffle house) we played some golf and then went out on the boat

here i am cruising on the boat.

poor tyler. we kept him out past his bedtime on friday night. ergo, tyler took a lot of naps on saturday.

all in all a good day, and we finished it up with a night out in the bar at some random conference center. here’s the always necessary “team photo.”

and finally, we did a little more skiing on sunday before heading home.

it was a great time with great friends, and a fun send off for brent. thx to john for hosting. next update: the wedding!!

    • Camping Weekend June 9, 2007
      sooooo, i was able to convince john and stephen that it would be a good idea for us to spend a weekend out in the woods with no food and no hair dryers (more a concern for stephen than for me - and less so every day). we found our way up to the greater […]

      sorry, no pics for this one. soooo, Atlanta was hosting the inagural ING marathon on March 25th. several of my friends had been training for months, but i had been nursing a sore leg and had not jogged for about 2 months. for some reason my friends (most notably jason, drew and blake) thought it […]

      i usually try not to really mention what i'm thinking here, as it is my general supposition that no one really cares, but today will be an exception. i'm not even going to pretend that any more than 3 people in america might find me insiteful, but i figured i'd just put it out here. […]
