Last weekend I flew to California for Dustin’s Bachelor party. It wasn’t organized very well, and I feel a little bad about that. It took at while to figure out what we wanted to do. There was talk of a private striper (He’s fiance shot that down quick like), going to S.F., or going to Reno, NV. Dustin finally decided on Reno. Dustin gave me a list of 20 or something people to invite. Counting Dustin and myself… 6 people came. Well… 7 if you include one of Dustin’s old co-workers that was already there with his family. He was just able to tag along with us for several hours. Even though the only real plans were a rental car, hotel room, booze and boobs we had a great time. Here’s how the weekend unfolded.

Here is when I lose track of time.
We checked into the hotel about 4pm I think, and waited for Riggs to show up. We drank, played slots, and hit up a buffet. Around 9am we decided we needed boobies. There was talk about going to a brothel house, but due to potential of Dani killing us we decided to go to a titty bar. We got Dustin an ass load of lap dances and over priced liquor. I even bought myself 2 of the most delicious bottle of water ever! Ok, maybe not the MOST delicious but that’s what I’m telling myself. For $5.25 a pop they better have been the most delicious bottles of water EVER! They’re lucky I was sobering up and had a hang over.
At 3 am we left the boobie bar. We heading for the hotel and hit up a restaurant. We all ordered the special. $4.95 steak and eggs. GOD FUCKING DAMN! were they good! It could have been the hang over talking, but I couldn’t have spent that 5 bucks better. We stumbled back to our rooms and passed out around 5am. Got up and 10 the next morning, hit the showers, and then hit the road.
It was fun and exhausting. I flew back to Portland that night. Got home around 10:30pm Sunday night. Good thing I didn’t have to work until 10:30am on Monday.
Here are some photos I took during the trip with my phone. I have more that I took with my camera that I’ll post later.
The party at Thad’s House. It was Danielle’s friend Stephanie’s birthday party.
2 hours of sleep will make you a little crazy
I miss IN-N-OUT!
Dustin in our hotel room.
This dude was HAMMERED! He was all slumped over. This photo is right after the security guard shook him.
My view during the shuttle ride from the rental car place to the airport.
Too tall for the airplane. Had to duck.
They searched my bag, and I found this in it when I got home. Good thing I dumped the dead body in the dessert.
