Bunch of Stuff Goin' On

Every year in May is the Dad Vail Regatta. The largest collegiate regatta in the country. Its pretty cool seeing over 100 college compete in two days. i have rowed in it twice in my two years rowing for Drexel. My first year we made it to the grand finals, and ended up getting 4th or something.

i got to the finish kind of late, but watch a few races by myself. After a bit i walked over to see if there was any one i knew. i ran into Terry and some other people. i caught the last race that day and peaced. Terry reminded me that there was an Drexel Crew Alumni gathering at the boat house but i wasn't sure if i was going to make it or not.

These two pictures are of the JV 8.

i had plans to go to Conshohocken to see Lee's band play but figured i could squeeze a little Drexel Alumni partying in. i saw my old coaches Stevie B and Pat...of course Pat was mean to me as usual. Some older rowers were there as well. There was also a lot of beer...i told myself i was just going to have a couple and then bounce.

Four beers and a glass of wine later i realized i should probably get some food rather than drink...left the boat house around 10:30.

i rolled up at the bar in Conshohocken around 10:50. Seven guys from high school were there. Brad, Brian, Alex, Lee, Drew, Tim, and Colin. My throat was ridiculously sore still...so even though i haven't seen these guys for like 4 years, i could barely talk to them.

It was a pretty good time, really fun just hanging out with some old friends. Just wish i could talk. The last song played was "Business Time" with a few of Alex's own lyrics thrown in there. At this point some of the older women were pretty smashed and Lee made his way through the bar with his guitar....

Lee was attacked by this older chick and later, not sure how, Alex switched shirts with the one woman that was grindin' with Lee...Something that i didn't have to see. Don't let the photo full you, she looked much older in person.

i guess some things never change...

The gig ended around 1:30am, i stayed until 2:30am before heading home. i didn't have a single drink at the bar, well...Lee got me a shot of jager...but that barely counts as a drink and it was when i first got there. i was pretty beat when i got home and went straight to bed.
