What a weekend.

Friday around noon Mike & Kate showed up at my place. We drove down to Baltimore, got into town around 4 o'clock. Hung out at the hotel for a few hours, waiting for people to get into town.

Then we all headed to the Green Turtle for half priced apps & $2 drafts. Somehow we still ran up a $400 tab, and left before ten. Then Max's, boardroom meetings, mysterious American Flags, moving pillars, and literal holes in the wall concluded Friday night.

Saturday morning we headed out for breakfast at around 1130. Found Kooper's Dog House, which had a Saturday brunch. Which featured $10 all you can drink Mimosas & Bloody Mary's until 2pm. Our table of 6, according to the waitress, set the record for most drinks before 2 with 33. All in all, there were about 15 people there. What started out as breakfast at 11:30 turned into all out binge drinking until around 6pm, with some people coming & going throughout the day.

Then over to Mike & Carrie's pimp apartment for a few hours, for more drinking, some game called Left Right Center, and more drinking. Went to Terry's bar afterwards, destroyed a handle of GM, played some shuffleboard, and drank more beer than imaginable, because they just kept showing up, I have no idea where they were coming from.

Went back to Mike & Carrie's afterwards for a few hours, finally got back to the hotel around 4:30, hung out in Tim's room for drunk dialing until bedtime.

Rolled out of bed Sunday morning, went back to brunch sans alcohol this time, and drove home.

Was supposed to go to Jeff's for the game for the 3rd straight week, but no one was going, and I was exhausted with a 2 day hangover, so I just stayed at home, had a few people over. Pretty much the best football game I've ever watched. So tense, but so great at the end. Definitely compares with the 49ers-Giants game of january 91. Right there with that game & SBXXV as the 3 best Giants games of my lifetime. Depending on what happens in 2 weeks, it falls in comfortably at #3 right now.

Overall, what a great weekend. Mike, Kate, Chris, Will, Aarti, Joe, Lindsey, Jay, Suellen, Kristen, Steve, Stigs, Tim, Mike, Aaron, Karen, Mike, Carrie, AP, Stella, Susan, Marty, Robeo, Ilona & anyone I missed, what a blast. See you in the summer!
