Busy Weekend

It is Work Release Friday once again, and I am preparing for another busy weekend. If you can associate the term "busy" with partying with Bone listeners. I have the privilege each and every Friday to party with you @ Drinky's Bar in Easton. There is always a great crowd there, hot bartenders and awesome alcohol specials. Tonight I will be there from 11-1 doing shots, giving out free Bone swag and speaking random gibberish into the microphone. Before I head out to Drinky's, I will be making a stop @ The Main Street Lounge in Stroudsburg. I will be hanging out there from 8-10, so make sure you stop by. I will then be capping off my Bone party weekend @ Rookies Sports Bar in Allentown on Sunday. Stop by for a beer between Noon and 2 and enjoy a beer with me, while I watch the Jets (hopefully win) on the big screen. Soon I will pull the jail cell door open for myself and begin the party. See you this weekend!

Until next time...

BLINK 182!!!

I know its been a couple of days since the Blink show in Camden, but it has actually taken this long for my memory of the show to come back. Ironically enough, before the show I told my girlfriend that I have been a huge Blink fan for years and I didn't want to drink too much before the show because I actually wanted to remember it. That, however, was not the case. We got a limo from the Valley to Camden. On board with us was a cooler stocked with beer and Carolina Sweet Tea. The ride took a little longer than expected due to some rush hour traffic in Philly. That was okay because it extended our drinking time. We arrived at the Bank Center halfway through Taking Back Sunday. From what I can remember, they were good. Next on stage was Weezer. Even though I am a fan of Weezer, we used this time to get some of the $11 beers at the venue. What a deal that was! By the time Blink went on, I was so many sheets to the wind that Rod Stewart and Celine Dion could have been doing duets on stage all night, and I wouldn't have known the difference. Blink played for what seemed like 5 minutes. Then we got back in the limo and went back home. That was a blur too. Next time I will try to at least maintain some level of soberness when seeing one of my favorite bands perform. After all they have been split up for the past 4 years and they reunite, play a show in Camden and I have no recollection of what actually happened. I figure things could be worse: I could be my brother. He had to take one of his friends to the ER after the show because she fell and broke her arm. How bout that for concert memories!

until next time....

Sands Casino

I am looking forward to rockin' out this Thursday night at the new Sands Casino in Bethlehem. I will be hanging @ The Molten Lounge from 9-11. The band Lucky You will be playing live and you can suck down $2.50 Bud Light Limes & $2.00 Bud Drafts! You also have to do some gambling while you're there (its a good way to get free drinks!). A buddy of mine won $500 the other day on one of the machines. In addition to the band and drink specials, I will also be hooking you up with free Bone swag. Can't wait!!!

until next time....I'll see you @ Sands on Thursday!

Avalon

I am back from what seemed to be a very short week at the beach. I headed down to Avalon, NJ for a "vacation." This was one of those, I need a vacation from my vacation type deals. We ended up relaxing on the beach during the day, then going out and drinking at night. One would think that a day on the beach would be a great way to nurse a constant hangover, but no...I think boiling and sweating in the hot sun only made things worse. We did have a good time, from what I can remember. My only complaint about Avalon is that it is so damn expensive. My friends and I were constantly joking that they were running a "12 dollar beer special" at the bars. Though, each beer was not that expensive, we were forking over $5.50 for a bottle of Miller Lite. Now I am tapped out of cash, sun burnt and delirious from a week of straight drinking...but I wouldn't want it any other way.

until next time....enjoy this stupid picture of me on the beach.

WE ARE....

PENN STATE!!!As you might know, I am a Penn State Alumni and huge PSU fan. I am not trying to brag or boast but another one of those Princeton Review surveys came out. It lists Penn State as the #1 party school in the nation. It's the first time Penn State has finished first in the dubious category. The school has been on the list the last seven years and ranked third in 2008. The rankings were part of the Princeton Review's "The Best 371 Colleges" annual guide. Penn State also finished first in the categories "lots of beer" and students who pack the stadium. Considering we have never been #1 before gives us more to brag about. Now you can hate all you want, but just be glad you are not a student at Brigham Young University. They topped the list of the "Stone-Cold Sober Schools" for the 12th straight year. Now that is something to be proud of!

until next time...(keep partying)

BTW-Crash's school West Virginia University came in at #6. Eat that Crash!!

SHAI HULUD-A SUCCESS!

A follow-up to yesterday's blog post:

My girlfriend and I attended the Shai Hulud show last night at Croc Rock. I was skeptical at first because I have always encountered some sort of problem in the past that has prevented me from seeing this band. Last night, however, was not the case. We even made friends with one of the bartenders there and he kept the beers and liquor flowing. My girlfriend ended up getting into the (mosh) pit and mimiced all the kickboxing tough guys in there. This resulted in her slipping and falling on the floor. It is quite amusing to see a little blond girl in a circle full of testosterone fueled hardcore thugs. I then stepped up to the plate and did some kickboxing of my own. Needless to say, I was exhausted after 5 minutes. All in all the show was awesome and it was great to see a band like Shai Hulud in the Lehigh Valley. Keep up the good work Croc Rock!


until next time...

SHAI HULUD @ CROC ROCK TONIGHT!

Yes, I am stoked to see Shai Hulud tonight right in our own backyard. They will be performing live at Croc Rock in Allentown. Even though Shai Hulud is named after a character in the 80's movie DUNE and their picture to the left looks quite comical, do not take them lightly. They are one of the most fierce, technical bands I have ever heard. Their guitarists are all over the place, the drumming is chaotic and the lyrics are mainly about the downfall of man. Over the years they have had many different line-up changes. The band's second vocalist (Chad Gilbert) left the band to form the pop-punk group New Found Glory. With songs like "Set Your Body Ablaze," "This Wake I Myself Have Stirred," and "A Profound Hatred of Man," you really can't go wrong. The only problem with this band is that they are very elusive. I have attempted to see them numerous times but it hasn't worked out in my favor. Either I arrive at the show after they have played or they never show up to play. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything will go smoothly tonight. This is like Murphy's Law, anything that can possibly go wrong will. But until I am standing on the floor at Croc Rock with a beer in my hand rockin' out to one of the most influential metal(ish) bands of my time, then I won't truly believe that this is really going to happen. See you tonight @ Croc, hopefully...

until next time...(enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M4WGc9qSto)
