The last time I saw Doug, he was in town visiting from the Czech Republic and was dating a Czech girl! A little over three years later, and this time he was visiting from Finland with his Finnish girlfriend, Inka! (Happy to report that I'm writing this a year and a half later and they're still together!).
Tuesday, September 4th
On Wednesday night I got the call that Doug had arrived and we met up for a drink! Here's the first pic of our epic reunion. Unfortunately, I thought we were both going to do the whole "smiling nicely thing" while Doug clearly thought it was "funny face" time. tags:doug

So I pulled the ol' "get a load of this fugging guy," but Doug... tags:doug

When we were all in college together, John was totally straightedge! So Doug was shocked to see him drinking and getting all crazy at karaoke. tags:doug

Next, Inka's friends who were twin sisters sang! (I forget their names! Sorry!) tags:karaoke

Then it was Doug's turn! He went big and decided to bust out some IRON MAIDEN! tags:doug

Hahaha. I don't remember if this guy was drunk or just embarrassed! tags:embarrassed
But these two certainly weren't going to let a little falling face-first into the carpet dampen their karaoke party! When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade! And when your singing friend falls down during karaoke - you just mount their stomach and ride them like a cowboy while they hump the air underneath you! That's just what you do! tags:inka

Inka, out of all the girls Doug's dated, and I've met most of them, you are, by far, my favorite! Woooooo! tags:inka
Incredible! tags:me

Just in case the photos haven't tipped you off, we were pretty drunk by this point in the night. Right around this point, John put in a song, but they guy that was queuing up the songs accidentally played a different song that the same name twice in a row...and John, one of the nicest guys I know, totally got drunk and shitty with him... tags:john roche

....and we got thrown out of the karaoke bar! Hahahaha. Here's me and Doug laughing outside about how for the first time it was John getting us in trouble instead of the two of us getting John in trouble! tags:doug

Despite our karaoke set back, it was only 2am so the night was still young! We decided to head downtown and check out Orchard Bar. We relaxed and had another drink... tags:doug

Wanting to make sure we avoided a second round of trouble, Doug and John worked to befriend the bouncer! I had to get up early the next morning, so I ended up calling it a night around 3:30. Doug, Inka and one of the twins ended up going out to John's place in Brooklyn and pulled an all nighter! Great seeing you guys! Miss you all so much! tags:doug
