On Saturday morning, we checked out and said farewell before splitting up into separate cars for our drive home.

Later, we headed over to B-Side to celebrate! Such a nice mid-week catch up! Friend reunion at Apt 3a! Three books deep! Ready to head out! Later that evening, Jared & Ellen joined us... After Saturday's big Halloween night out, on Sunday we went to Lillie's for a Spooky Brunch. Later that night a bunch of us went over to 3A... Sweet summer roof.

CONGRATULATIONS, JENNY & JOSH! Found my treat table buddies. Happy birthday, Gurj! After the planetarium, we went back to our apartment and got a feast delivered and hung out. Wooo! Satisfied fans of science and lasers. ...and got sprayed in the hair with silly string NOT FOR USE AT CLOSE RANGE. Around 11pm that night, a whole bunch of us headed over to 3A to watch coverage of the election results. We started walking over to Sarah's house at 5:30. I secretly texted the party and told them that we were on the way and that anyone who was there from out of town should go up on to the roof and hide for a while so that Meredith wouldn't get tipped off to the fact that something was up! Here's the everyone at the party cheering. Awwww. Awwww, how cute is this photo? They're spelling M-A-T-T! Congrats on your new apartment, buddy! We're so excited for you! Lawrence, Gurj, Ellen and Vanessa! Gurj on the mic! ...eating treats. Ellen and Gurj again. Coldlamping...

Ellen (getting her SNACK ON!), Gurj and Lisa warming up the party on our couch. And here's Gurj and Ellen as those "alternative" girls who went to prom together! Afterwords, Gurj and Ellen were up for a duet! (Something by The Killers if memory serves). So I'm sitting home, minding my business (aka - probably dorking out on xBox) and I get a text from Gurj: "Karaoke! Me, Ellen and a buncha girls. 2nd & 2nd! Come now!" I mean, how could I turn that down? I threw on a coat, and in a matter of minutes I was there! Here's me with with Ellen and Gurj who'd had a few drinks and were primed from some 'roke!
