Ok, so I was making it a point to blog pretty often and then all of a sudden I just stopped. Things got kinda crazy and I just fell off the Earth again, but you all should be used to it by now. =)

Not sure if anyone knew about James-Stock, but it was a complete success! You see, my parents, my brother and my two sisters all went down to San Diego for a week long vacation. I was invited but had to stay home because that was inventory week at Costco, and no time off requests could be granted that week. So I was forced to stay home. Darn! The party started on Tuesday night, August 20 and went for a week straight. The last beer was finished off on Monday August 26. Over the course of the week, many a people came and went. Justin and Erinn even flew up for friday and saturday. I kept track of everything we drank and the final number was awesome!

276 beers
(1) 1.75 liter of Bacardi
(1) Regular botle of Vodka
(1) Bottle of Midori
(1) small sized bottle of Bacardi 151
(4/5) of a bottle of Armaretto
(2/3) of a big bottle of Malibu

It was insane. We made these drinks called Flaming Dr. Peppers. You take a beer and put it in a glass. Then fill a shot glass three-fourths of the way with Armaretto, then top it off with 151. You light the 151 on fire then drop the whole shot into the beer and chug. It tastes just like a Dr. Pepper. It is the weirdest thing ever, but damn is it tasty! =) I also BBQ'd every night that week. The highlight I think was my chicken. I made a garlic-sesame teriyaki chicken. It was DAMN tasty, so good, I made it twice. I also did a tri-ti steak, some sausages, James-Burgers, Bean Dip, hot links, fish and Monday I sold out and just made a pizza. Over all the week was a complete success. I got everything cleaned up and throw away, my parents never said a word. I told them I had people over for BBQ every night but that was it. It rocked!

So I'm definately going to the Gorge. It hasn't quite set in yet. I leave on Friday. Flying from Oakland to Seattle, then meeting up with Heather and heading to the Gorge. I think the plan is to camp, but I know a lot of people in hotels, so I might end up in one. Who knows. I just know I'm gonna party it up hardcore! I'm really looking forward to hanging with the homies too! I think I'm sitting by myself on friday, so I'll have to have someone sneak me down so I can sit with people I know. Then Saturday and Sunday I'm sitting with Gina Marie, so that kicks ass! I'm pretty stoked. I've never been to the gorge, but the pictures look amazing, and the shows are always amazing from there. Should be alot of fun. I need to figure out what I'm bringing. A sleeping bag and a pillow are a good start, clothes would be good too. I really want to try and get everything into one nice neat bag that I can carry on. I hate checking my bags.

Tomorow I have to try and go talk to AT&T wireless. I want to see if I'll will be able to use my phone up in Washington. I know I will use it, but I do not want to get ass raped at the same time. I think once I go north of Oregon they consider it roaming, sucks ass. I hope I can swing something. Anyways, I'm out. Probably won't blog again till after Gorge, so I'll catch you all later.
