World Series Game 5 :( and The Hold Steady (Guest Author Aaron)

On Today's Post we have guest commentary from Aaron (noted in RED)

The pics were taken with my cellphone.

Tonight was cool as shit! Garth, April, and I went to the Hold Steady and Sean Na Na show downtown. The night started out kinda rough due to the tigers. When we arived at the Magic Stick they were up 2-0. But after a few mins the score was 2-3, Cards. We went up stairs and scored a pool table from which we enjoyed Sean Na Na. They were very good. After that, Garth, April, and I watched the tigers lose the World Series.



Just as they lost the Hold Steady started playing. They opened with a great rendition of "Stuck Between Stations" and continued to rock from there.


The continuing of Rocking


Aaron agreeing with the Rocking!


Here is the Keyboardist (Franz) and Bass player (Galen Polivka) rocking out.


Us with Franz, the keyboardist. He has a handlebar mustache.


Aaron cold chilling with the lead singer (Craig Finn) and Lead Guitarist (Tad Kubler) of "The Hold Steady".


Aaron and Garth getting talked into carrying music equipment down a flight of stairs into a tour van.


After the show, Garth said "let's go back stage". At first I was hesitant but then I thought "you don't get famous doing pussy shit." What a great call! The band was very cool and for whatever reason was totally cool with hanging out with us. After a few shots and getting schooled at downing beers with the keyboard player from Sean Na Na, we decided we should jet. Just before leaving we asked The Hold Steady if they needed any help with their equipment. Being that Aaron is a band aid and Garth is down for whate ever we ended up helping them carry down all their equipment.


Aaron whisking the mike stand to the van.


Just three dudes standing in the rain, 2 going home while the other hops in a van headed to who knows where to rock out with who knows who.


It was pretty much the coolest thing ever for Aaron (because he doesn't have any thing else going on). All in all, it was a great night and Aaron is once again forever greatful to have Garth and April as friends. A kick ass night with a kick ass band. We rule. Later...

Back to Tucan's (preview)

So this weekend was a wild wild weekend full of wild women, wild costumes and awesomeness that is Tigers winning (who cares a bout a little pine tar).

This is one of the great pictures from the weekend. More to come...



This is Jenny and she's on Myspace. Have fun everybody and see you soon.

The BACH Parties-The Loaded

So after a day of Belly Dancing, Gifts, Golfing and other Dancing involving laps of some sort, April, myself and our respective sexes headed to do what you do at Bachelor/ette Parties...Get lit, get crazy and get in trouble, just kidding if you're reading this April.

Garth's group was on a party bus. We loaded it up with a ton of beer and a lot of liquor. The bus driver gave us three rules and three rules only.

Rule #1: No fighting on the Bus.
Rule #2: No puking on the Bus.
Rule #3: No smoking on the Bus.

We ended up breaking them all.














Girls, Girls, Girls

Yeah, its wrestling time.

This was not the first time I would try and wrestle Chris.

Rule # 1 broken

Awwww...how cute are these two, and pirates to boot.

I'm still wrestling with Chris!

Who is that guy!?!?! Yeah THAT guy!

I had to give in finally. He's lucky I let him win.

The Last time they saw that purse with money in it.

No I didn't just puke. Rule # 2 Broken.

Dancing girls are awesome, just don't expect
anything but an empty wallet if you hit on them.

That is not my lap she is on. You are seeing things.
Laaaapppp Dannnccceeee

Crazy girls, and crazier guys. These guys bought
all the girls shots.

I ran in to My first of 17,000 bachelorettes

that night.

Sisters

Number 2, they don't even know that's a

puke ring around my neck.

Oh,booyashaka, Heather Sammich. Bite his neck!














Arrrgggghhhh unsuspecting women with puke boy.

Hey Oh... Rory look away.

Last Pic that I remember, wonder if they smell anything?

Last Pic that April had, of course its her getting groped
by some weird guys.

Anyhow, the night rolled on and we both returned to our respective caves, me to Farmington, April to Royal Oak.

For some odd reason I had to see April. Chris had two guys on Guard Duty. They gave me a window of 2 minutes and I took it. I snatched up my Mom's Keys (Little Bro drove it down for the weekend) and took off to Royal Oak. It was by far one of the dumbest things I ever did. Parthiv and Ben, you should have tied me up.

Again, thanks to everyone who made that night an awesome time for me and April.

Detroit Taste Fest June 2005

Back to the timeline. I (=April) got a phone call from her sister that they were in midtown Detroit (kinda cheesy, the midtown part) and the Detroit Taste Fest was happening. This is a cool thing were all of the local restaurants set up booths and you get tickets and buy beer and food with the tickets (overpriced beer and food) and walk around listening to a bunch of Free concerts.

They have all different kinds of music, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Country, Rap, etc. I was stoked because the electric 6 (=good local band that made it moderately big ==high voltage from the Charlies Angel's 1 movie) were going to be there.

So April and I headed down to fill up on overpriced consumables.




That's me in the white and black shirt and a pirates fan next to me. He looked like a little kid from afar but was probably 34 (and he wasn't an impaired person)



Self potrait by Sarah OR super close-up by Paul.


April's Purse decided to attack her at this moment and fortunately I know some purse defense moves to disarm the purse.


Lauren was very relieved by the disarming.


A picture with the hero.


Paul giving an example of another song, "Get your hands off of my Woman, mother fucker."


Just kidding, but seriously get your hands off of my woman mother fucker.


This is where we were to watch the electric 6. Count em.


Allright, now zoomed in...Go Dicky V go...


This guy was definitely into the music, opting for the pointing to the beat.


So the girls were walking around and ran into this guy in the middle (don't know his name) but Sarah knew him and he was part of the crew that puts on the taste fest and he was assigned to this stage so....


We gave up this view to....


Walk to this view...


Backstage Bitches!!!


Excellent Drummer backside.


If the electric 6 want this picture they better call me.


More Backstage, (backstage=free beer for the band==free beer for Garth)



Obligatory Active guy, hurray for beer = free beer
Thanks Electric 6.
