Aaron Blazey Can't Spell

Hoopty Boofty Justin Purnell

Well first off let me just wish Justin Purnell a Happy Birthday and say you threw a killer party. Sadly, I don't really know the guy, however, judging by his birthday party, he's one hell of a guy. Eric Appel invited me to come out to the 10:30 show at the UCB Theater and hang out there afterwards for this guys bday party. Sonya and Mari came with me to one of the best nights I've had. If dancing to sweet music and drinking free beer and margaritas didn't do it for you, there was always the fact that the place was crawling with comedians that are funnier than you. And if that didn't do it for you, there was always the fact that Mr.Belding from Saved by the Bell was wondering around the joint. Headed to a diner after the party which was louder than the party we were just at. Got home as the sun came up....yeah it was a good time.

Sin Sin Friday

Friday night we decided to get back to our roots. Two for one at Sin Sin. Talked about the Past. Talked about the future. Then washed it down with some Pizza Palace. Roamed around the east village for a bit and ended up at a little lounge whose name I forgot. After that we decided to try out the SOHO BILLIARDS spot of which we pass and talk about all the time. After 3 games, we had our share of pool and decided to head home early and save ourselves for swaturday night.

Good Portions

After work on Thursday, Kit, Mari and myself went for a drink after work. We played an intense game of "5 Questions". After some serious research, Mari and I won. So to celebrate we went to a little Asian place named Good Portions. The portions were in fact quite ridiculously good. We continued our Asian themed evening at some sushi place where Mari got some crazy asian peach drink with saki and vodka. She let me taste some of it for the picture above. Thanks Mars.

sams falafel

So Wednesday, Brandon and I tried to hit up a roller disco at the Roxy. After a rather violating pat down, we saw that it was 18 dollars to get in. We pondered our current situation. Two Dudes at a roller disco for 18 bucks. We decided to come back with females at a later date.

We headed to the Dove for a drink and then hit up Sam's Falafel, which came highly recommended from my friend Jason Bolger. It was pretty tasty. The old man that had been sitting at a table left and offered to fight Brandon. Apparently, the old guy was an Olympic Boxer way back in the day. He was a funny guy.

hmm

Does going to see David cross at the UCB theater and going backstage afterwards. Then heading to a bar and hanging out with Heratio Sans afterwards count as a blog entry? Even if it's 2:21 am on a school night?

old friends. new times

This weekend I was treated with the company of old friends. The players included Noel, Becky, Chris and Brian. They arrived in Brooklyn around 11:20 p.m. on Friday. In the hours that preceded there arrival, I ended up calling many people I had not talked to in a while to put off cleaning. This was the best procrastination ever (It was great talking to Emily and Becky) Within 30 minutes of their arrival, it became apparent that Chris was drunk. No one can claim they saw Chris ingest any alcohol, however a significant amount of the 'salamander' (a nickname for a brand of cognac) was missing. Chris spent his first night ever in NYC in the bathroom.

The next morning we checked on Chris. He was still alive and greeted us with a "I feel like a dragon". We are unclear to this statement's exact meaning. We got up, got breakfast at the Bistro and planned our day.

Game Plan:

Walk across Brooklyn Bridge
Ground zero
Soho
Central Park
Roc-a-fella square and Top of the Rock
Times Square
Carnegie Deli
UCB Show
Drink at Bar

We left Brooklyn at approximately noon-ish and completed the entire list. It was pretty impressive.

The next morning we got up and explored all the Williamsburg had to offer. A little stop at Brooklyn Industries provided some quick pick ups for Becky and Noel and a restaurant suggestion for Breakfast. One of the workers there suggested we try a spot called FADA for breakfast. She assured us that the "french-inspired" joint would please us. She was correct. A little Eggs Benedict and some mimosa and the last afternoon was spent perfectly.

Seeing the old gang was awesome. Click Here For all the Pictures from the weekend. One.

Today after work, I headed back to Jersey for dinner with the Slater's and special guest, my mother. We had some of the best Stouffer's Lasagna ever. The meal was swell. The Charles Schwab was excellent. Apparently, the 3 oz my mother had, went straight to her head. Rene, who recently had surgery, was not prepared for my drunk mother. With a strict 'no laughing' order from her doctor, every joke was painful but worth it. Some highlights include my mother tell me about some ridiculous judge show that Kato Kalin hosts. I can't remember the name. But, it involved a bat and Kato Kalin. Also, the judge goes by the name "Extreme judge something". Even more amazing is this video clip of my mom confessing something amazing. Good times. I'm exhausted.

Ok so my mom told me the name of the ridiculous show click here for extreme akim

"Some people see christ. I saw you."

-KIT COWAN (my boss)

The above picture was taken by kit. He had mentioned a couple of weeks ago that there was some mold in his shower that resembled the likeness of myself. I'm sure we have all heard of stories in which people see the virgin mary or christ in such things as grilled cheese, windows and micro machines. This, however, is a first for me. I'm still debating whether or not mold has any smybology. I'm not sure if this should be a sign that I should dedicate my life to higher cause. But just to be safe, I will continue on the same self gratifying journey that my life is.

96 stairs to Heavenly

Players: BK, Q, Mari Buttari, G Money, Jesse, Michelle, Jeff, SF Crew, Kujo and Old Man Pete

Mission: To conquer and destroy Heavenly Ski Resort

Location: Lake Tahoe

Mission Summary: The group flew in from all over the United States (Mostly just NYC and Columbus, Ohio) and met in the Sacramento Airport (excluding Q and the SF crew, who had a prior mission and met up later). We headed to the cabin and stopped at in and out burger. It was tasty. We got to the cabin and discovered our cabin required us to walk 96 stairs to our home base. It was painful. We drank hard the first night in an attempt to prepare for the 3 day mission that awaited us.

Day 1

See above paragraph.

Day 2

We woke up and headed to the slopes. We thrashed it hard and picked up the S turn nicely. Came home tired and had a slumber party. Participants: Mari, Bk, Q and myself. It was a fun evening of slumber party games. Also, it has come to my attention that I snore. Luckily, I sleep through it.

Day 2

Woke up sore as donkey. Thrashed the slopes. My confidence was at a low level so I supplemented the fear with a shot of Jack Daniel's and some hardcore rap. It helped the situation beautifully. Got back to the cabin and re-upped our energy levels and hit Caesar's. I lost 20 bucks at the roulette table. Brandon won 300 bucks at the roulette table. I was jealous. Luckily, he lost 200 of his winnings. That made me feel better. Came back and had slumber party.

Day 3

Woke up sore as a sore donkey. Attempted to thrash and destroy the slopes. Legs burned like fire. I fought through it and we emerged victorious. Decided to celebrate our successful completion of the mission with a dinner at a dive bar. It took a long tome to get our food. Our waitress had an English accent. I fell in love with her. She repeated the ingredients in the minestrone soup twice. I fell in love with her both times. She wasn't a very good waitress. This made me fall out of love with her.

Day 4

Horribly long day of travel. Realized that if you go for a cigarette in an airport it is necessary to take your boarding pass with you and chances are that running through the airport trying to catch your plane is not as relaxing as the cigarette Learned that Chinese Food places named "Wok and Roll" are not that tasty. Lastly, I learned that there is an unspoken rule that cab drivers only make one stop from the airport. Or maybe that's just of you are a bastard cab driver. Either way, he was not the best guy I ever liked.

In conclusion, trips to Lake Tahoe with friends are bound to be fun times. I can't wait till next year. Oh and the complete photo gallery will be coming soon. In the meantime, check out all of my pics from the affair. An edited down, collection of all photos is on it's way.
