I was lazing around the apartment on Saturday afternoon when I got a call from Lisa and Pauly. They told me that they were at a bar right around the corner with their friend Iva who was in town visiting from Toronto and that they had already been drinking for "a couple of hours." They suggested I should swing by and grab a drink, but you know, No Presh.
I told them I'd swing by for ONE DRINK because, if I remember correctly, I had "a bunch of stuff to do." One drink turned into two, and then two drinks led to me purchasing a ticket for the PARTY EXPRESS. Because everyone knows that once it hits your lips, it's so good. Not much of a narrative here, but these pics all still make me laugh!
I made it to the bar around 6pm and was stoked to see that Lisa and Pauly had brought their dog Pizza to the bar and that he was already showing off his amazing balance skills on the top of the booths. tags:lisa

We all made each other special paper clip bracelets. Then Pauly had to be all alternative and shit and turn his bracelet into... tags:hand

...a NOSE CHAIN. Which was his way of paying homeage to Canada's most famous fashion innovator - Jane Child. She pretty much invented the nose chain thing, you know. (PS - Can you believe there's actually a wikipedia entry for nose chain??? PPS - Jane Child is totally mentioned on it! SCORE!) tags:pauly

This one's not perfected yet, still needs a little work, but I like where you're going with it, Lis. I especially like the way you're smashing your nostrils up and towards each other at the same time. Nice technique! tags:lisa

Oh jesus, remember this lady? She was wearing some kind of "wacky jumper" outfit and went up and sang How Much Is That Puppy In the Window. Yep, the one with the waggily tail. That fucking song. tags:karaoke

Jesus, lady. If you're not going to scream or do something interesting with the song you could at least take your top off or something. Let me introduce you to a couple of your more-fun karaoke counterparts! tags:karaoke

And then there was this guy! Any time someone at karaoke goes up to sing and they're holding a rocks glass, you know you're in for a treat. Booze is the secret ingredient to karaoke and so if you're drinking it straight up it's basically telling other people that you're not there to fuck around, you're there to GET YOUR KARAOKE ON! This guy and his little dino arms were a karaoke dream come true. tags:karaoke

Here's Lisa celebrating him! Or is has she already moved on to celebrating the Asian lady in the wicker cowboy hat? But hey, I guess it's appropriate either way. Win! tags:lisa

Lisa must've been singing some 80s hair metal ballad, because this is definitely a photo of me running to the stage so that I could "assist her" by playing air guitar during the guitar solo. The only reason this is even worth showing is because it accidentally resulted in... tags:lisa

Dear Staff of the Odessa Diner,
Sorry we were all such drunk, hot messes that night. Usually we are polite and well-mannered denizens of the East Village. Thank you for not throwing us out and we're sorry we made such a mess....
tags:mess
We hope the large tip we left and all the booby flashes provided by our womenfolk helped make up for our state that evening. We'll try not to let it happen ever again for at least a couple of months.
Love,
Lisa Michelle, Pauly, Meredith, Iva and Brian.
