Sleep Deprived Party Weekend 2008

BIKES

Saturday was CJ's big day to purchase a bike.  We checked out a bike shop in Burbank, and they had some pretty cool bikes.  Quite pricey however! So, I recommended we check out Sports Authority, you know, just to see what they have going on in the bike department.  We spent what seemed an eternity in there little selection of bikes.  There was a little emerald green number that caught CJs' eye.  It had a great "sale" sticker on it.  Half  off to be exact.   And, after a little bit of debating over the inventory.. CJ decided this was the bike for him... And we were off.  It's weird spending soooo much time in one tiny section of a giant store.  As we were heading towards checkout,  It felt weird passing by so much neglected stock.  I almost forgot where I was for a moment.  So, this my friends, is the story of CJs' California bike purchase adventure.

TREVORS' BIRTHDAY

When I got back home from bike shopping, it was time for me to ride over to Trevors' birthday BBQ.  When I first arrived, it was pre party and not too many people there..  I was unsure how the party would turn out.  For the first hour or 2 it was a little slow...But, I guess it was still pre-party hour.  It did not take long after that to get things flowing.  A LOT of new faces showed up.  I have a problem of judging people too quickly based on their appearance.  But just as the fraternity party on Friday night, I met some really cool people I normally would avoid.   Maybe alcohol may induce such kindness?  I did spend 45 minutes talking to this dude about luxury watches....None the less, we partied, and partied hard at that...partied until the sun came up.  It has been a long while since I partied until the sun came up. I always hate the feeling of going to sleep with the sun rising.  It leads to blah day, which brings us to yesterday.

SWIM PARTY

This swim party was something I had been looking forward to for a while.... A Beverly Hills swim party in the hollywood hills.  I took my friend Stephanie.  When we arrived there were no cars, so I though something was up.  I guess I thought we were arriving fashionably late, but I wasn't in-store for how fashionable the other guests would be... It was a beautiful house, with a gorgeous pool and backyard, and perfect sunday weather.  Slowly over the next hour people began to trickle in.  I knew very few people there, but I was ready to make new friends as I did all weekend!  The crowed pretty much consisted entirely of "hipsters".   In L.A. there are 2 type of hipsters.  So far, all I have conversed with are the super friendly nice hipsters...BUT these were the OTHER hipsters... hipsters who have money and/or like to exclude everyone.  These my friends, are the douche-bag hipsters...  We tried talking to several people only to get the cold shoulder.  They like to talk to their friends, and if you are not their friend, you better get the hell out of their way!  These people have no interest in meeting someone new.  Needless to say, that encouraged a faster exit.  At least the food was AMAZING! Thank you AJ.

But, I can't complain too much.  This was an exceptional weekend with old friends and new ones!  I just could of used a little more sleep, haha.
