Long weekend...

Posted: Tuesday, June 2, 2009
So last Saturday, i headed to my boy Alan's house to grill up some steaks and deliver the 300 painting that i finally finished. He decided to hang it up in his "game room"/front entry way.

So we took a couple pictures, cause why not?







Then i was planning on heading to my niece's 5th birthday party, but that was postponed until Sunday, due to a bomb threat in the neighborhood. Long story, but in the end 2 snipers dropped the bomb-threater after he pointed his rifle at the police helicopter and threatened to shoot it out of the sky. So, since that plan was delayed, off i went to Jake's old place/Dallas' current place for a party.


The basic purpose of the party was to get a bunch of Jakes good friends together and basically pay tribute to the man, in a more casual, less responsible way than is acceptable at a traditional memorial. Plus Jake's dad brought over the ashes for those who had already decided to get their Keith Richards on and "partake" in preserving the spirit of our boy Fame.

Heres me and Aaron, long time, close friend of Jake.



Jakes brother Mike, Aaron again, and Dallas. Dal was Jakes other brother, it just so happens that they werent actually blood relatives, but in their case, that was really nothing more than a techincality.



This is me being drunk and soaking up knowledge from Jeff, Jakes dad. This guy amazes me with his great advice and overall knowledge about life in general, plus he cracks me up every time i see him.



Me lighting up the last cigar i had left from Jakes humidor. A CAO CX2, for the record.



This is what happens when you sprinkle Jakes ashes into a Red Stripe. It foams up like it was magical fairy dust. Its like Fame's still getting in shots from beyond and messing with your drinks.



Overall it was a great night, and i gotta say i havent been as hungover as i was the following morning, in a LONG time.

Ill leave you with a couple of videos as well.

My dudes shirt was hilarious:



Jakes poppa with some words of wisdom:



And here's Dallas, partaking. With Mike in the background, apparently he thought i was just taking a photo, but that just makes it that much funnier.


I have a couple other videos that are entertaining as well, but theyre pretty long and ima need someone to hit me up with a site that will host videos over 100mb.
