Last weekend i went to the movies to see Iron Man (no link required, you either know or don't). Anyhow i decided to go with my friend Cody that i used to work with and his roommate Stephan (i think that was his name). Before the movie we went to Cody's apartment and played Super Smash Brothers, and some sort of WWF wrestling game on the Nintendo Wii. It was sweet and i think i want a Wii. We head off to the two and half hour movie, and sit through the credits to see a secret scene featuring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Furry. I thought the movie was great, i hadn't read too many Iron Man comics as a kid, or as an adult for that matter, but i am familiar with the character and most of his background. I feel like they did a pretty good job of portraying him in this Hollywood movie. The ending did kind of pissed me off and Cody made a good point about it. I would see this movie again and look forward to a sequel. There were lots of great previews before hand. The new Indiana Jones, Prince Caspian, Incredible Hulk, probably a few others.
After the movie i decided that i was up for an adventure. I had received a phone call from my friend Chris telling me that Martin Rucker was having a private party at Tonic for his birthday. This party was invite only and Chris had been invited and told he could bring whomever he wanted, i was on the list. I called Chris and was informed i had 15 minutes to meet up with him, i needed to run home and change clothes, as this was a fancy clothes place and i wasn't looking fancy. I booked it, showered, changed and was back downtown in about 18 minutes. I meet up with Johnathan and drank a quick beer at Sparky's Ice cream and then we were off to Tonic to meet everyone. Inside was a very odd setting off professional NFL players (i think 7 or 8 total), college football players, their girlfriends, some of the strongest looking dudes i have ever seen, $100 bottles of champagne being passed around, about 10 people i knew (all friends of Chris's), and a very out of place me. The night was crazy and was only made comfortable by mass amounts of drinking. I was glad i had a few friends there, and that i could brag about a crazy night of partying with NFL players, and got to see Chase Daniel be completely sleazy, making out with girls left and right, dancing very naughty, etc, etc.
The night ended with me fitting 3 other people in my car and taking them to Chris's house, as we pulled in the drive way, one of them stuck his head out my door and vomited all over the place. Chris wanted to go to the casino in Booneville. I wanted to go home. So i went home to sleep off the night.
The next morning Cedric (Chris's roommate) calls me to see how he got home. He was one of the 3 i drove home. He wanted to make sure he didn't puke in my car. He informed me he woke up in all of his clothes, with his shoes on and a space heater running, it was around 100 degrees in his room. He waned to go get some food so i drive over and pick Chris and him up and off to Apple bee's we go. After stuffing our faces and possibly feeling worse than i did before i got there, we all went back home. I went back to sleep, they got ready for work.
That night i went to Eastside Tavern, it was Big Pants birthday show and Jarret was going to be bar tending. It was going to be like the old days of Eastside. I hadn't spent much time there in the last 7 months or so, we haven't played there in probably a year. We were asked to play this show and decided not to. Haii Usagi was playing and they are great, Pharos was also going to play and i had heard good things about them. When i saw them i didn't hear good things. I won't go into what i think was right or wrong about this band, just not my thing i guess. Jarret didn't really end up bar tending until late in the night, Pants wasn't there for most of his own party, one of the two bands wasn't that great. Pants also announced that night that he eloped early in the day, and that this wasn't just a birthday party, but a party for that as well. I think it left a lot of people shocked. I went home after being invited to a few parties. I wasn't feeling it.
Sunday i slept in and knew that i would be eating dinner at my moms house for mothers day. I did a little bit of art, went to moms for dinner, and then went to band practice. That was pretty much it for Sunday. I was not looking forward to Monday and going back to work.
