Us three drunk ones all ordered "big beers" which are 32oz styrofoam cups of beer that completely cover your entire face when you drink out of them. Hahaha.
Afterwards, I rode my bike all the way back downtown in the freezing cold and met up with Lisa and Pauly at Niagra. We had a couple of drinks and then decided to hit Odessa for some late night grub.
On Thursday night, I met up wtih Lisa (who looks like she was channeling Stevie Nicks during her "Indigenous Peoples of New Mexico" phase) and we kicked some late night karaoke jams at Winnie's.
On Friday night we went out with Lisa and Pauly and had drinks at Odessa. (By the way, Pauly was leaning on his hand in this picture and trying to look "leisurely." He's most definitely NOT mocking Asians - I swear!)
Look at me totally off my mark! I was pulling my best tough guy face when everyone else had clearly decided (even Piper!) that it was a cute and cuddly moment. Check out Piper's tongue! As soon as we saw it sticking out in this photo, we decided to play our favorite Piper-game...
I was trying to get another "nacho reaction" shot and I accidentally zoomed in without realizing it and took this photo. Which led to us taking a whole bunch of awkwardly zoomed-in photos! It's clearly the new "ugly face."
Yep, that about sums it up. (PS - Check out the awesome new nipple-censoring technology I'm employing! Broken hearts! Pretty sweet, right? I hardly even use Photoshop anymore - all about Picnik.com's API these days).
Holy moly, you're goooooor-geous! You have to be careful with Lisa - she can get a big head pretty quickly, so it's important to always balance out the super-pretty photos of her looking all windswept and dreamy with...
We left Winnie's around 1:15am. Not because it was late. Not because we were too drunk (hey, you can never be too drunk for karaoke, right?). Not even because we'd run out of songs that we wanted to sing.
After filling our gullets with treats and booze, someone realized that we were just a few short blocks away from Winnie's! Which is the best karaoke bar in Chinatown (where all the songs are still on LASER DISC)! Check out the rocking troupe we had. Hahaha.
I headed over with Lisa and Pauly (I know they're standing in "Pauly and Lisa" order in this photo, but that just doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely)...
We hope the large tip we left and all the booby flashes provided by our womenfolk helped make up for our state that evening. We'll try not to let it happen ever again for at least a couple of months.
Love,
Lisa Michelle, Pauly, Meredith, Iva and Brian.
...this totally dirty-by-accident photo! Holy moly! But one thing's for sure, it certainly clears up any doubts anyone had about Lisa's ability to, ummm, work the mic.
