Thanks and now for the show...

Nick had a charity fundraiser for his film about Couch surfing last Tuesday. So, all the Michigan Exiles came out to support him and the good cause...


...and what good cause is complete without strippers oil wrestling. Please check out Nick's upcoming adventure at:

Couch Surfing


USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!


And USA! beats skinny girl.


This pool has something like 40 bottles of baby oil and one bottle of vegetable oil, which ended up all over the place. It splashed as the girls wrestled and all over the floor as they walked around between matches. I felt bad for the busboy who had to mop the whole night at Sluggers (just south of Addison on Clark).


You can see how much oil is in here if you look at their feet...


The last time I had a picture of an inflatable pool like this I have a picture of Nick in short shorts. Curious...


When will this become an official 501 (c) 3 nonprofit that I can make tax deductible donations to?


Saturday night, riding bikes to the Tip Top on our way to a party.


Karli, Chris, and Nick after our very brief stop at the party. Very brief...


Chris, Matt, and Nick closing out the night on the Murder House porch.


Folk & Roots Festival in Lincoln Square.


I got a Cajun Hot Dog for $3 here. It was delicious.


Forget the "Danger Zone" baby, we're going to the Drop Zone! But seriously, what a lovely name for a port-o-john...


The "Rock and Roll" festival just north of Wrigleyville. Mostly cover bands, but well done and great sound. And an inflatable gorilla.


The "L" passing over one of the stages.


The "sexy nurse" band.

Megan and I at the Harry Potter movie at Navy Pier. It was in IMAX 3-D. I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan, but it was a decent movie. Then again, anything in IMAX 3-D is a good movie. I'd watch Xanadu in IMAX 3-D and love it...

So, How Did We Get To This Point Again?

Seems like your average run of the mill day. I was tired as shit and still am. I'm on about 7 hours of sleep over three days. My friends and kids at school are going to kill me this month.

The picture above is what I did instead of taking a nap. It was Friday and that means Party In the Park. I only knew a couple of people and that isn't too unusual. Lots of people. Lots of brews. No sleep.

So, last night we were throwing a surprise b-day party for Andrea and needed supplies. Meijer was full of wackos last night since it was the first day of sales of Harry Potter starting at midnight. Check out these people. The sad, but puts a smile on my face, thing is this is a normal Friday night in Skee-town...

Can I talk about the party? I can't post any of the pictures. I don't even know where to begin or explain how only six people can be so out-of-control. Did I fall asleep and dream I was at Muskegon's version of the Playboy Mansion or what? I think I will have to write about this at another time once I have had my sleep and have processed what had happened at this party...

Anyway, you people out there bitching that there is nothing to do in Muskegon are lame asses. There are tons of things to do in this town and most of them are cheap as shit. The drive-in, beach, baseball, festivals, bowling, bars galore, on, and on, and on... I lived in Chicago and had fun. But, it was costly and I sometimes had to save up to go on a night on the town. I'm not even going to explain GR. Just overpriced and full of jerks. Muskegon is cheap, hilarious, and laidback. And if there is nothing to do you have to make your own fun. Ok? OKAY! That's my lesson of the day.
