first time

couple of weekends ago dr. w and i hit atl. dr. w had planned to go there for j-watt's bachelorette party, and i figured i'd stay with mcgruber and have a boys weekend.

i'll leave j-watt's bachelorette party to everyone's imagination, as should be done for these kinds of weekends. suffice to say, it was a blast by all accounts.

on the boys' front, we had a hell of a weekend. friday night, we hit decatur for some grub, then met up with stinky, his lady, and a big crew from mcgruber's office for metalsome. in a first, i actually got up on stage. fun, only minor embarrassment to myself. thankfully, it was a slow night, so not too many (ok, virtually none of) the regulars were there, i.e., the bar was set considerably lower than normal nights. we closed down 10 high, then a final-final at hand in hand, which ended with a cop making us leave (no kidding). at this point, mcgruber was stumbling ass crunked. he couldn't even finish his sentences, which made being his wing man a bit challenging. we were hanging with mr. two degrees and a chick that hunter knew from around the block. well, we stumbled out of there and got a cab back to mcgruber's place. he swears he doesn't remember from hand in hand onwards.

the next morning, i actually woke up feeling good, and went out on the patio. when mcgruber woke up, he notice that i was not on the air mattress, couldn't remember what had happened, and thought that i had never made it home.

the rest of the day included hanging at the pool with ten chicks from hunter's office. nothing too scandalous--a farewell party for one of his co-workers. then hit downtown decatur, including eddie's attic, a decatur icon.

on sunday, we reunited dr. w, j-watt, her dude, and mamma cass at the flying biscuit. then dr. w and i embarked on the grand tour of munchkins.

we met up first with kafowpow, her dude, and their twins. we then headed north to see dr. w's ex-boyfriend and his family. actually, a sad story--the doggie that he and dr. w got together way back when was diagnosed with cushing's disease, and dr. w wanted to see her. then we hit gasparyan's. dinner and play time with his four and six year old left us exhausted.

and we were not done, oh no.

monday included alon's for breakfast, and then a second round of metalsome.

and that was quite a weekend.
