We were freaking out a bit, because we needed the Wolverine to shuttle all the soon-to-be-arriving guests up and down the mountain...but luckily a quick trip over to Ronnie's Cycle across the state border and the tire was fixed and the Wolverine ready to run again! Yay!
And then spend the late afternoon digging up some funny old photos of Doug as requested by Doug's girlfriend who was working on a surprise slideshow to show at his upcoming 40th birthday!
Right after we left camp, we ran into another group of campers who were stopped because one of them had badly sprained or broken their ankle. About two hours later, we were stopped for a rest...
After a few drinks, we headed upstairs to my apartment so we could try out my Neurosky headset and the games that you play by trying to focus your brainwaves! Here's Quinn focusing her attention to try to explode video-game barrels full of TNT.
...Bertl had gotten tattoed at the bar earlier in the evening. Bilbo said "It looks good, but I don't why he wanted a tattoo of my toilet mural!" He took us into the bathroom...
On the way back to our apartment, we stopped to purchase FRIED OREOS! While the fried Oreos are photo-worthy on their own, the real reason I asked Josh to hold up the bag is because I wanted to capture a photo of the lady in the background because she's Leigh's nemesis!
Check out these two (Balinese equivalents of garden gnomes?) awesome statues we saw at a huge roadside statue store while looking for the road that led to a ruin site called Yeh Pulu.
...so I got to rearrange the furniture and put my green chair up real close in front of the TV. Haha. Check out my COMMAND CENTER setup: remote, spring rolls, two kinds of M&Ms, cell phone, game controller. THUMBS UP!
...Meredith's over-sized engagement ring. I had to custom order it in her size (because she has teeny tiny fingers) but the custom ring didn't arrive in time so I had to propose with a ring that only fit on Meredith's thumb! Hahaha.
We went to Hug's and after asking the two bartenders on duty if they had also been on duty the previous evening, nailed "Someone who was clearly at Hug's last night." 5 POINTS! (BTW, I love the picture of these two guys so much. They seem really funny and nice - they are exactly the two bartenders I both want and expect to see pouring the drinks when I go to a bar named "Hug's.")
I stayed super late and helped clean up. Here's the last photo of the night of me and Siege getting ready to take the garbage out! Happy Birthday, Katie!
Hahaha. There was a flier up advertising some party the MisShapes were DJing at and somebody totally took the time to go out of their way and write the word "DOUCHE" with an arrow pointing to Geordon's name. It made Sarah sad. But me, I'm a real sucker for passive aggressive acts that are done with flair! You won me over with your pink pen, dear flier vandal!
And then I set my camera all the way across the tent and used the timer to take this awesome Hustler Magazine inspired photo that I call "The West's Corruption of the East."
Check this noise out! After you get through the changing area, there's an escalator that takes you up to the base of the skiing and snowboarding section. Thumbs up (and crazy eyes!) from Faisal!
