This is a step that you only need to take if you have a friend named "The Fatty" that happens to have a birthday right before you leave town. Since we do, we made sure that we took the Fatty out to PUMPS in Bushwick to celebrate his birthday with some shady-ass noody bar action!
And it was also one of the first nights we hung out with our new family-tv-night buddies Lisa and Pauly (seriously you should click that link and watch their video, The Broker, right now). Here's Meredith with Lisa...
After saying farewell to the birthday girl, I headed around the corner to meet up with Meredith who was out drinking with some ITP people. Here's Jaymes and Meredith.
On Thursday night Meredith and I went to see a movie. Little known fact about Meredith: she likes to posh with promotional displays for upcoming movies. Here she is with a baby polar bear. Awwww!
Later that night a whole bunch of people came over to hang and play Cranium! L to R: Josh, Posh, Niki, Amanda, Quinn, Faran, Rosie, Murdo and Ellen with her arms full of dogs!
After the shuttle dropped us off, we decided to get out of our "fancy clothes" and change into something more comfortable. We didn't have a room at the hotel (we were planning on just driving back to my parent's house) so we just changed in the parking lot. Hahaha.
...and then piled into a van that was shuttling people from the reception over to the hotel where everyone was staying. Here's Meredith, Steve and Steve's wife.
I tried to take a photo of Meredith dancing but she jumped right as my flash went off and instead I ended up with this awesome shot of Mer's airborne boobies. Yes!
We actually didn't mind at all. We had a way funner time than anyone else because we got to do coloring and no one else did. Here's Mer and Abbey tag-teaming a page out of one of Abbey's coloring books.
Meredith couldn't come because she had to get up early the next morning for work (and not everyone a weirdo like me who likes to go out at midnight on Wednesdays). In lieu of her attendance, Meredith gave me a little bday present to give to Dens from her.
After dinner, we fired up Guitar Hero! Yes! Here's an action shot of Scott tuning up as he prepares to take on little miss Leigh Lezark (bonus points to Max and Meredith who are on opposite extremes of the "excitement spectrum" in this photo). Hahaha.
On Saturday night, Meredith and I went up to Kip's Bay to see a movie (because the theater is usually less-crowded on weekends). After the movie was over, we stopped to laugh at Homer's stolen arm...
Monday was Memorial Day and a bunch of us went to brunch at La Palapa. Meredith showed off her tongue tricks. Here's her world-famous "I can make my tongue into a bowl." Which was followed by...
Asscat's special guest was John Krasinski (and he was hilarious). Here's Meredith ambushing him with a smooch (which caused him to reflexively make a Jim Halpert face!).
Later that night, Meredith, Matt and I met up with Alex (who was in the same improv class as Matt & I) and we went to see the Sunday night Asscat show at the UCB Theater.
Here's Meredith a couple hours later, totally crunked on stolen vodka, squatting down in front of the best, unintentionally-funny vanity license plate...
On the way out of dinner, Cat and Meredith stopped at the small bar that was set up outside and started flirting with the bartender. Once they had his full attention, Catrinel leaned in and started flirting extra hard, and once Meredith deemed that the bartender was sufficiently distracted, she grabbed a full bottle of vodka from off the table and ran away with it! Hahahaha. COLLEGE!
Hahahaha! How amazing is this photo? "COLLEGE! WOOOOOO!" I pretty much spend the whole day sitting on the quad, enjoying the sunshine while Meredith caught up with old friends she hadn't seen in a while.
Meredith stuck her tongue out to do an impression of Piper and right when I snapped the picture, Piper (who is a notorious face-licker) saw Meredith's tongue sticking out and WENT FOR IT! Hahaha. I love this photo soooo much.
Here's Meredith enjoying Piper's cornchip-scented ears. Mmmmmmm! Piper has the longest tongue in the world. When she closes her mouth, the tip of her tongue is always peeking out because it's too big to fit in her mouth!
On Saturday night, Gina came over to our apt for a girl's night. So I decided to head out and leave the girls alone to "do their thing." (Incidentally, their "thing" turned out to be...
...is this photo! She was using some sort of glue that certain wasn't designed to affix fabric to HUMAN SKIN and when she pulled off the eyebrows, there were all these little tufts of red "fur" still glued to her forehead. Hi, my girlfriend is a crazy-person.
While I'm out partying and acting like an idiot, Meredith prefers to stay home and do crafts. Whenever I come home, I always walk through the door thinking "I wonder what the heck she's up to tonight?" Well, this time when I got home I found Meredith in the kitchen cutting out different types of fabric and making FAKE EYEBROWS. (???!) Oooooooo-kay! The only thing funnier than this photo...
After karaoke, Amanda came over to play Guitar Hero (probably so she'd no longer have to listen to me say "DUDE! You HAVE to try it, it's so much fun!!!"). Here's Meerkat and Squinty, browsing and rocking respectively.
Hahaha. She pretty much nailed it her very first time! I like how she combined the "NJ-Guido Brow-Furrow" with the "Staten Island Mouth-Pout." A very effective combo!
