the 5th...

the fifth of july. the day after. i slept until 12:30, woke up, watched movies, ate pizza and basically recovered from a long/great night before. then, around 8 or 9 p.m. people showed up at my apartment. then, some people went home, and other people joined in. at this point it was me, stef, kelly and dave hanging out on kelly's porch.


dave and kelly got into an argument that could only be decided by arm-wrestling. stef acted as ref.





dave won. kelly was sad...but not too sad, because she let him win


dave however was fully living in the moment of victory


then my friend altes showed up...he's the hairy guy on the right


kelly provided us with glow bracelets. altes made a glow necklace.


without the flash it looked like this


then we just sort of went crazy with the camera









then it was time to go home, even though home was only ten feet away. altes did a jig.


then reached for a door. i'll let you decided whether or not if he knew it was the right one


eventually he found his way (though it was creepily lit with ghost lights)


once home safe, he showed his true pirate colors using a beer cap


i fell asleep around seven this morning. it was a good night.

the fourth

spent last night with an incredibly random and incredibly fun group:

my neighbor kelly, kristin my friend since third grade and my buddy george


we watched fireworks on the river about half a block from my apartment. here's what the view looked like


the drinks flowed heavily all night, and after the fireworks, we kept the festivities going with three bottles of champagne and a number of delicious beers.

we kicked things off with a great toast


then we decided everyone had to make a face for the camera



*george had a great photo that he asked me not to post. booooo*



then kristin decided to let her hair down and really just let loose for the night




then george got lucky



then there was a staring contest


george won and kristin accepted defeat with dignity


kelly wa sjust happy to have witnessed the event


she was proud to personally know the winner


then she demonstrated her own techniques for winning a staring contest


i tried to learn her style but just intimidated everyone. probably because i worked out once in high school


george wasn't impressed


to redeem myself, i tried to impress my neighbor with my strength


but we both knew it was a joke


kristin was amazed at everything going on


five minutes later, her expression hadn't changed


we shared a final toast together as things began to wind down


then i peed in the river as kristin tried to take a photo


it was a great night. the best 4th of july i've had in a long time. after the river, we went back up to five points and had another round of drinks and laughs. ended up staying awake until 3:30 talking on kelly's porch. great, great night. rough, rough morning.

as the guy who's usually behind the camera, i don't often post photos of myself. but kristin hijacked my camera and after setting it up for her and showing her what button to push, she managed to document the many faces of mac mitchell during a night of drinking...which i will share with you now.







hope everyone has an excellent weekend.
