Chris & Cory’s Pool Party

June 29th, 2009 · No Comments

I’m taking a break from the Hawaii virtual vacation. This weekend Cory and Chris had their wedding events, so I want to post those now. Afterwards I’ll have more Hawaii photos.

On Friday night Cory and Chris reserved the pool room at Rock Bottom Brewery and we had dinner and drinks. I had a really long week and that first sip of beer was deeeeliicioussss. Fun to spend time with the family members that were starting to trickle in for the big event the following night.

Friday was the last day of my contract with Google. I’m planning on taking some time off to enjoy the summer in Chicago, before starting the job hunt. Thus, Friday night we kicked off The Summer of Rachelle by going to happy hour at the Rock Bottom Brewery‘s roof deck then heading up to Riverview for more drinks closer to home.

After the Sox game we decided to go out for drinks. We went back up to River North because Chris, Larry & Tarek had hotel rooms near there. At Mother Hubbards they checked everyone’s ID and Chris didn’t have his. Even though he’s well over 21 they wouldn’t let him stay.. not even when he said he’d drink plain coke. Such bullshit.

Sharpe, by far the youngest in the group (the next youngest is me and I’m almost 8 years older than him) made some mention about the fact that he’s never had a hangover.. which to all of us old-timers sounded like a challenge. We headed over to Rock Bottom because we knew we wouldn’t get carded there and started out with Irish Car Bombs*. Sharpe said he didn’t want one, but we were forcing him to drink whatever we gave him.

We decided Sharpe needed a nickname because his first name is Chris so there were 2 Chrises. I’ve called him Sharpe in these posts just to make it less confusing. This is how he got his nickname:

Sharpe: Call me Sharpey
Me: Ew
Sharpe: Some of my friends call me Sharpe-dawg, call me that.
Me: areyoufuckingkiddingme?
Larry: Let’s call him cornfed, he just moved here from Louisville.
Me: Look at him, that’s NOT cornfed!
Sharpe: I’m from Southern Indiana, there’s not corn there.
Larry: Ew, there’s NOTHING in Southern Indiana!
Sharpe: HUH? There’s muffins in Southern Indiana?
Larry: You just got your nickname, Muffin
Everyone: Muffin!!!! AHHAHHHHHAhHAHHA.
Me: Hey, Muff-Dawg!
Everyone: [calls him muffin and every derivative they can think of]

Re: the last series of thumbnails – I went to use the restroom and SOMEONE … coughMUFFINcough.. hijacked my camera and went nuts! Also, can you believe Larry sang karaoke?

* The first Irish Car Bomb I’ve ever finished!

Irish Car Bomb Finished After a Year of Trying

I’ve been really busy this week with clients in from London, but I had to make time to post this photograph of a life milestone I had earlier in the week. Before yesterday, I’ve had Irish Car Bombs ordered for me and I have attempted to drink them but being the notoriously slow drinker that I am I could never finish them in one swig before the curdling began. Last night was the first time I finished off an Irish Car Bomb and don’t I look proud?
