weekend edition: everybody booze up and riot!

AMAND-R: Hi there!
INTERNETS: Amanda, where did you go this weekend?
AMAND-R: The Beer Festival!
INTERNETS: Was it good?
AMAND-R: I got wasted!
INTERNETS: Sounds like fun!
AMAND-R: It was, until I booted!
INTERNETS: Did you take pictures?
AMAND-R: Boy, did I!






[livejournal.com profile] emquilxy, Jeannie and Stu have no idea what they are in for. Well, Em does, but the others are clueless.

On the way in, we saw so many beer t-shirts and hats that we decided that no one should "wear the t-shirt of the beer you're going to drink. Don't be that guy. DON'T BE THAT GUY."


I thought about asking the Troegs people to put an ad on my car. What?


Yeah, it was inside. It wasn't a festival, per se. It was a tasting, with beers from 35 different local brewers. No one seems to police how much you've had to drink. There's free food. There was a band. A band. WOOT.



This is the sign for a new molecular gastronomy place that is going to open in Pgh soon. They gave me a black-eyed pea taco. IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER, AND I WAS SOBER.


I don't know about you, but when I think of getting plastered, I think of the Amish. That said, their Strawberry Wheat was easily one of the best beers I had all night.


I took this blurry photo of this dude's shirt, because is THE UGLIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN A GROWN MAN WEAR. AND IT WAS SHINY.


MAH PEEPS. What I like about that first photo is that Emily and Bren are blurry in the foreground, but my auto focus clearly wanted to settle on Sean, macking it in the middle. In the second pic, Jeannie is starting to understand just how much trouble she is in.


KEGERATOR.


Here in Pennsylvania we are known for our chainsaw art. In fact, Emily grew up in the CHAINSAW ART CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY/WORLD. LOOK HOW THAT DUDE cuts towards himself with the chainsaw whilst casually smoking a cigarette. Srsly, I think I almost severed my femoral artery watching him. IT'S OKAY, LAWS/KEL/BEES/LIONESS, we could have just packed it in hamburger!



My drunk ass thought of you when I took these pics. This might have been the moment I stopped to Twitter you guys. Didn't I say something about doing GDL? I think his band was there.


There you go, [livejournal.com profile] spiderine.


Home of the RAILBENDER. Honest people, we have a friend who had documented proof that every time she gets drunk from this beer she wakes up without pants. IT WILL KICK YOUR ASS.


My favorite brewery, EVAR. They make White Magik of the Sun and Pilzilla. PILZILLA.


The saxophone dude giving my drunk ass the eye! Also, HOT DOGS. THEY WERE VERY GOOD, BUT I DO NOT REMEMBER EATING THEM. I AM SURE THAT I DID.

The whole thing went from 5 to 8, and eventually we went back to Em's; by 9 pm I was on the couch in the den, sleeping. As the beavers in my head began a massive construction project, I attempted to waterlog their project with a shower, only to somehow end up lying on the floor under the shower spray, talking to Em, who sat on the floor out in the main area. Then Jeannie came in and we had a girl session. And in the middle of all of it she made a Doctor Who joke, so I said,

Me: Do you watch newWho?
Jeannie: OMGNFVFKG'GJPBJPBJOBOBJ JACK HARKNESS.
Me: flvjfpvifnb'knfb'kjPEENMFVPFJVF'K'COCK.
Jeannie: OMG DID YOU WATCH CHILDREN OF EARTH??
Me: clefkvj'bpjbpbngjnpjdn
Jeannie: I HAVE THIS THEORY THAT DAVID LYNCH IS SCARED OF THE VAGINA. BUT IT'S A CHARMING AWE FILLED FEAR. RUSTY IS ALSO AFRAID OF THE VAJAYJAY, BUT IN THE BAD WAY, AND I SHALL EXPLAIN.

I would tell you all the secrets of the universe, but I cannot remember it. Alas, much like that last glass of Lime Wheat from the TRASH brewers, it sounded like a great idea at the time.

Then I took a chunk out of my foot and bled all over the floor. Blah blah, I got home, blah blah shower, hit my foot in the same place in a different shower and bled all over the floor again.

WOKE UP WITHOUT A HANGOVER. THAT'S RIGHT, ALL THOSE CHICKENS I SACRIFICED TO OGUN AND MARINETTE HELPED MY SHIT OUT.



The lesson of the weekend is: do your voodoo sacrifices before you leave the house to go get wasted.

Not quite hammered, but definitely squiffy. The cocktails before dinner got me drunk really quickly, though. (Meds + 1 chocolate martini = pissed)

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
1. i LOVE THE WORD SQUIFFY.
2. DRUGS AN ALCOHOL ARE COOL, NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS.

ALSO, I AM APPARENTLY 14.

Squiffy is an awesome word! It's the perfect decription of the feeling you get the first drink hits home and you get that stupid grin on your face that you can't help.

Drugs and alcohol are cheaper than alcohol alone! It's fab!

Unfortunately, the pub we got the cocktails from has changed to shitty, cheap, wine based Baron von Scheuters Butterscotch Schnapps, rather than sticking to the excellent spirit based De Kuypers. My chocolate martini was less than its usual standard of complete nomness as a result. FAIL, SJ'S.

I was letting the chocolate martini slide, man, but now that you bring it up-- EW.

Highly alcoholic chocolate stuff. How can that be bad?

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The part where chocolate is alcoholic.

I have issues. Carry on.

My second cocktail was a Dirty Bird, if that's less offensive. (Wild Turkey Honey Liquor, Kahlua, Vanilla Absolut)

::SHUDDER::

WE HAVE DISCOVERED MY NEW SQUICK. DESSERT ALCOHOL.

Is this the point where I admit I hate beer and you boot me off your flist? XD

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
NO. WE ALL MUST BE DIFFERENT. YOU CAN DRINK ALL THE DESSERT DRINKS AND I WILL DRINK ALL YOUR BEER. WE'RE SYMBIOTIC, LIKE THOSE BIRDS THAT LIVE ON HIPPOS OR THOSE THINGS THAT LIVE ON SHARKS.

BUT I GET TO BE THE SHARK.

You can totally be the shark, sweetness. I will be the little fishie that swims in and cleans the gunk from between your teeth and loofahs your back and shit.

YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN I SAY, 'SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD BE HERE TO LOOFAH MY BACK!"? USUALLY I THINK IT SHOULD BE IANTO OR JACK, BUT YOU WILL DO.

I don't have the cock that they do, but I did get a Silicone one in the mail today. Happy birthday me. Unfortunately, it is bright pink.

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
FEELDOE! THAT IS ON MY LIST! YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL ME HOW IT WORKS, FOR SRS. IS IT WORTH IT? I HATE HARNESSES.
ext_77335: (closet love)

[identity profile] iamshadow.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
The one we got is actually a fake-feeldoe, because it was $50, rather than almost $200.

Never used any kind of strap-on, harness or no... but I'm interested. Nervous. Excited. Sure it's going to go wrong, somehow.

It looks bloody enormous!

We very rarely use toys, because it's normally not worth all the trouble and enjoyable enough without... but... yeah. Been together nearly nine years, being more honest and adventurous with our kinks. It's been good so far.

I'm fucking terrified! But also excited.

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG SRS, IF YOU ARE NOT TOO SQUICKED BY TELLING ALL THIS TO A STRANGER, LET ME KNOW.
ext_77335: (closet love)

[identity profile] iamshadow.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I will tell you all! I'd blog about it properly, but I don't really have the guts to. Plus, most if the people on my flist probably don't want to know.

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Just EMAIL ME. I WAIT WITH BATED BREATH.

[identity profile] iamshadow.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll let you know, so long as you let us know what the cone is like. It looks like one of the weirdest and least sex toy-ish sex toys ever.

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG I REVIEWED IT ON MY LJ.
ext_77335: (mock)

[identity profile] iamshadow.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, I just read your review, which was comprised mainly of capslock descriptions of noises. I'm still confused as to whether you thought it was worth buying or not.

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, see, I don't like telling people what to buy, because that always backfires on me. I like it. I am glad I bought it. But then again, I had the money to blow.
ext_77335: (Kinky)

[identity profile] iamshadow.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Cool! That's all I wanted to know. We saw it online ages ago, and were all o.O and I wanted to know what someone who'd used it thought of it. It just looks like a paperweight, nothing like a sex toy at all. I mean, even the Natural Contours vibes look ergonomic to the body, even if they don't look like a honking big phallus.

[identity profile] amand-r.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you have to seriously be creative and invest some movement in it. Its is just a cone.
