the end of an era.

met up with ryan, zac and chance for the last supper.
this was outside lodge. 10 pts for whoever can tell me what it means, cos i have no clue.


pre-party.


then nick showed up, but promptly re-disappeared. we went back inside to wait for him.


zac had the most appropriate gear on for the setting.


stopped by the apt to watch football and play with the dogs.




then by mulholland's to watch more football.


finally, we started walking towards rikky and marisa's, but chance and nick needed more food. the dudes in the background were utterly amazing. it's times like this i wish i had a mini tape recorder. or video camera.





whaaaat?


i don't eat meat, but i'm pretty sure i've never heard of a "middle" breast.


getting ready.


chance pops one.


the view. (kinda makes ya a little teary eyed, don't it?)




what it says.


vip lounge. andy's room.






missy flew in from london.


in rikky and marisa's room.


there was a lot of dude love. ryan, chuck, chance.


eeeeesh.


gates.


gates and brant. major reunion time.


chuck and paul.


nick and chuck.

paul and rikky.


best year ever.


fun with fruits.




chris and dave. (want hat.)


diaz.


kitchen.






dave's room.






nicole.


either just before or just after midnight.










three stages of party.


jesse and eddie.


then chance picked up dave during sean kingston.


and gates picked me up.


but apparently no one has photos of it.


except for my left arm high-fiving dave. dave said it best when he described it as "the highlight of his dancing career." it's definitely in my top 5 favorite party moments of all time.


chance licked some streamers.


and i started stalking dave to get his hat.


andy v2.0, sans sweater.


there was lots of high fiving.


this guy was stoked.


bwhhahhahhahhahah.


lovebryan.com


everyone got huggy. especially jesse.


i don't think any captions can describe this photo.




andy and jesse had a great time force-feeding everyone (including themselves) tequila.




portrait time.


there are sooo many things wrong with this photo.


and finally i stole dave's hat.


but then apparently lost it.


"weed the people."


stairway to heaven.


derrick.


then i tried to blend in, but ended up looking more like the poster to the right.


gates was bummed someone kicked holes in the wall.


dave got his hat back : (


someone broke a window. rikky peed out of it.


dave, chris and i reflected on the year while heckling people as they left in pairs.


then it was morning and time to go home. chris walked me, and we stopped by the bodega for snacks, but apparently someone else had the same idea.


the next morning, we went back to rikky and marisa's with breakfast and to help clean. andy and dave were rays of sunshine.


not even half of it.


gross.


food time!




ground zero.


frank's breakfast.




the sun came out for real. ouch.






and this pretty much sums it up.
