Northstar Retail Employee Party

So a few weeks ago we had a end of the season employee party for all of the retail shops at Northstar. The plan was to pick us up in a big school buss drive us to Grand Sierra Resort in Reno and go cart! As if that already isn't amazing enough they decided to provide free alcohol! We all got on the bus and headed for Reno as we were all drinking I thought it to be a good idea to flip everyone off through the bus window! We got down there had some races and I destroyed everyone in my way. Kacey said many times that I was the worst driver there because I was from LA. They then provided pizza for our stomaches to absorb some of the massive amounts of alcohol we consumed. DJ and I found a bar called "Players" in the go cart parking lot so we decided to go in and get a jack and coke. We figured with a name like players it would be a strip club, which I never actually had gone into one so i was pretty excited. We walked in and noticed that it was just a bar with gambling. We felt very unwelcome because of the way we looked and watched many Reno locals stare us down and give us looks of death. We ran out of our time in Reno and all drunkenly got back on the bus. Cam decided to start playing some Dub Step music over the bus's stereo system and Zach jumped up to start a rave in the bus's isle. I decided to crowd surf the dance party from back to front, and we drove around each Truckee round about more than 5 times each with each of us falling and screaming!

My Latest Obsession...

Two Gallants - wish I would have found out about them 5 months ago... would have helped me a ton.

And I’m a go make my bed
Tuck in the other side
These confessions are mine
But I’ll not claim a word

This restless parade
Yes I watched it go by
Through the cracks in my palm
Seen them all gone
Some sequence of lives

Well she calls out alone
With the pain in her voice
It’s the wound of betrayal
It’s the weapon of choice

Left her heart on display
Though that she’ll deny
Two tattoos of skin
One of ice one of tin
For the days have gone by

But I ain’t one to reminisce
But close my heart and clench my fists

Now the days swiftly pass
With the chest full of fear
Here the minutes are hours
But the moments are years

And old acquaintances passed
In trios, in pairs
And if they stay or they go
One struggles to know
One struggles to care

But out beyond the Ten Tree walls
The wind blows hard the highway crawls

And if you should pass the James Hotel
Please stop in for I knew you well
But that was oh so long ago
And I never learned how to let go

But when you fear your own faults
And you’re sick of this life
When you’re reckless of hand
And trembling the knife
And all your doors prefer locks
And your death prefers spoons
Why wouldn’t you wait one last laugh at fate
Forever’s too soon

But across the field death bell knells
Listen close hear the toll tell

To run and tell my darling true
My breath is short
My days are few
So please come down
And take my hand
My last demand

And lead me to some slender rest
And please dismiss what I confess


Check them out... Some Slender Rest

Bay Adventure!

Metric was playing in Oakland on the 24th, so Love, Austin, Kirby, Jello, Kacey, and I decided to venture down to the bay to witness this fine event. On the 24th, Kacey and I woke up early to drive down to Reno to fix my car a little bit. We then met up with Jello and some of his friends to snowboard at Boreal. After that we hit the road and hit traffic a few times on the way down BOOOOO. We got to our hotel which was a very classy maze of a tiny hotel. Kirby and Jellos room had a window that look across the hall into another rooms window - CREEPY.

We all went out to the show at the Fox theatre and got our drunk on! Metric played and was absolutely incredible! talk about hot babes! wooo emily is a hot babe! They played more of their new stuff off fantasies than anything , but they did play Empty, and Dead Disco, and encored with Monster Hospital! YAY. Even though the band was flawless, the crowd sucked. We all felt like we were the only ones in the crowd that had known about Metric prior to the show.

After the show we wanted two things... Beer and Food. So we started asking locals where to go, many told us to go to Radio to get our drunk on even further. So we started walking the streets of Oakland, sketchy ass Oakland. After wandering for a while we decided to stop at a Classy Marriot Hotel and ask for advice. A black security guard told us that we should go to a Chicken and waffles restraunt, how awesomely stereotypical is that?

We continued wandering the streets, saw many many hipsters on their bikes, and soon we almost were ran over by a chollo on his bike, as he almost ran us into the concrete he yells " Get out of the way Faggots!! " so all of us start calling him a fag! Great comeback, I know.

We finally ventured back to the fox, where we found a bar across the street, so decided to grab a beer, soon after the bar closed, so we were back on the streets, we decided to run back to the hotel and call it a night. As we turned on our street where the hotel was we saw RADIO... ironic.... We did not go in...

The next morning woke up bright and early again to move our cars so they would not get towed, found an amazing hole in the wall coffee joint, and drove into San Fran.




This is an awesome car we saw on our way to the bay.


This is a average car that Kacey accidentally took a picture of instead... goob



Metric


After the show good and Drunk





Austin and I drunkenly searching for a place to go and get our party on with phone's


This place was acrost the street from the Fox and we all got a kick out of that!


Love and Austin


Jello


Then we decided to wander the city of Oakland till we found a party


Oakland is a religious place, surprising


Oaksterdam University... Turns out this place is all about teaching kids how to grow and sell weed - sooo funny that this was right next to a Christian Book store.






We then found this sweet bar that just so happened to be right acrost from the Fox. So bummed.


Drunkenly decided to party in the hallway of our hotel









Kacey was not tall enough to join the party.


The next day we decided to go into San Fran and go to Ashbury and Haight


Ashbury and Haight


Went Thirft store shopping all day.. great findings such as a Giant Velvet Vagina..

Austin getting Classy


Found a 10 legged spider, Thank you to whoever Killed you!


Kacey did not approve


Then we went to the beach WOOO


Kacey had never seen Sand Dollars that were not imported to the East Coast.
