Caravans and Cauldrons

Thursday night, Cathy and The Fiances (the name of our do-whop group, if we ever decide to have one) drove over to Little Rock for a night of big rock. American Princes had their CD release show and The Good Fear opened, so us girls decided to follow ’em down. After missing two out of the two interstate exits that we had to take to find the show AND dodging a cracked out guy who persisted that he “was not a robber,” we ladies got there just in time for tequila shots and the begining of the show.


Taken!

The (Damn) Good Fear

American Princes


After the show we walked over to this old abandoned house, well, frame of a house. Brian and Tim jumped the fence and explored, while the rest of us just stood back and snapped grainy pictures in the dark. After a 1:30 am trip to Taco Bell, our four-car caravan ended up at a pricey Holiday Inn where with a sink full of Busch Light, things got a little crazy (especially with Cathy’s hair straightener).

Bathroom Party

Shoe Shining

Bongos

The next day we found every kind of food we could imagine at some sort of indoor market downtown. After a nice little picnic by the river, we hunted down a record store, a witch boutique (?), and finally the city’s art museum. By the time we were fully recovered from the night before, we were on our way back to the ‘Ville.

Lots Lately

Everything has been hectic lately, but here are a million pictures that basically recap my last couple of weekends. Enjoy.

The night before our much anticipated Engagement Party:

The party!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came and to everyone who helped out or drove from out of town. It really means so much to us. We will remember that night forever.

A New Year

Our night ended up being very low key, but very perfect. Apparently Eric paused our countdown with TiVo, so really we counted down after we got our champagne in order around 12:10 or so. Dick Clark’s voice was a buzz kill, but the lonely island videos brought us right back up to speed.

Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful night!

The Champions

Halloween on a Monday? Yeah right, last night was the time to celebrate.

Two Nights

Todd and I have gone out of town the last THREE weekends in a row. I wonder if I will ever get caught up on sleep. I doubt it, but it’s definitely worth it. This past weekend Seth, Todd, & I drove about an hour and a half away from Fayetteville and set up camp (in the dark). We woke up the next day, had the most amazing breakfast next to the campfire, and then around noon 13 more friends met up with us. Camping has never really been my thing, but I’m happy to report that I had a blast.

Once it got later, we decided to take a walk where we happened upon a party lit up by electronic PALM TREES. Of course we invited ourselves right on in where we also discovered two self serve bars and a fuse ball table. A band was about to start up which supposedly featured the brother of a guy from Evenenesence. But once a bongo drum was whipped out, we soon decided to return to our camp.
