Yupster Renegade

I managed to sleep in until 9:45am yesterday. If you translate that from Yupster Corporate sellout into College Slackster mentality it is nearly 2pm. Ok, sure I auto-awoke at 7:30am, but I rolled right back over and had a mini-party since it was Saturday. Woohooooo!

With glorious weather on the menu, I headed to Park Chalet with CBish, Logan and Trey for Bloody Mary's on the back patio. The BM's tasted likewatery tomato soup compared to the spicy variety offered up with sass at Zeitgeist. But the scene was alright. It'd be a good place to take the fam.

From there we headed to the Marina (yikes) for Fro Yo and a glimpse into the Union St. Festival. Parking was a nightmare so we just threw on the hazards and ran into the market. Within four minutes I caught enough drunk spoiled brats in sundresses with fake tans to last me a lifetime. Not to be judgemental, but when will that frat scene get over college?

We met up with Kev, Will, Sean, Tiff, Shana, and an extended cast for beers on their back patio. Always a good time! We ended up heading out for burritos, and then to the Transfer which proved to be ultra- interesting. Then to Lucky 13 and topped off with karaoke at the Mint.
From there we ended up on my back porch chatting until after 4am about life, food and war. Intense topics all around. See how much trouble one can get into with a little bit too much sleep under the belt? Whoa.

Memorial in Mammoth

The 5.5hr drive was SO worth it! Kind of a bizarre twist on a weekend that is normally spent BBQ hopping- we went snowboarding. The mountain was pretty huge and I bet midseason it would be amazing. Our party of 10 included some Venetians and other good friends. I really thought the snow would suck and I'd spend the day sipping Bloody Mary's, but we rode the whole day Sunday and half the day on Monday. My legs were jello by the end of the trip. I still feel totally spent! Last official weekend of snowboarding for this season and who could have predicted how addicted I would be?! Is it December again yet?
