Milwaukee Trip recap and various photos

As I've mentioned before photo heavy blogs get to be a long pain in the butt if I want to format them so they look decent. I've loaded a bunch but if I can get things looking even remotely decent I'm going to call it good. A few weeks ago I went to Milwaukee to watch the MU v UW game. Marquette defeated the evil Badgers. It was a good trip. Here is a photo of me, Julie, and Jen. Yay to the girls!










After meeting up with the girls I went to Jay's place for the 1st annual 201 holiday party. The role of Andy Blanchard was played by David Screnar. Jay made dinner. He did well.












Post dinner and drinks we went for the obligatory family photo. We look classy don't we?














This is our non classy attempt where we tried to talk with our hands. The hand symbol means something naughty, try to guess what it is.















David LOVES his Natural Light. Natty Light to those in the know.
















There was a little Mario Cart happening. Per Toad "I'm the Best!" That's for you Tabi. Anything you read/see here is not to be repeated...















They never tell you the Natty Light burns...
















This a photo that's a few years old. The 201ers at Jay's wedding in classy B&W. We do look good.


















This is the craziest bloody mary ever. Only in Wisconsin and only at Sobelmans.
















At long last Jeremy Bates appears! Jon Horvath to the right.














Last weekend I went a Washington State game with a buddy here in Seattle. We were right on the floor, it was pretty cool. I've only had seats this good twice before: @ DePaul in 2000, and @UNC in 2001 I think? I have no idea anymore.














This was the first time I've seen a proposal on the floor from the 2nd row. Kind of funny.













There was a halftime show of some girl balancing plates and doing weird acrobatic things. It was too weird for me.














This needs a big explanation. We had an adult themed white elephant exchange here in Seattle. Emphasis on "adult" I ended up with Candy Underwear, Brian got a Cnady Top, and a Senior Psychology professor at UW ended up with the Incontinence wear. That couldn't have been planned out better than it worked out. I'm going to post the rest of the photo's in slideshow format. These might not be entirely safe for work AND they aren't for the faint of heart.




















It started snowing here. I took this with my Iphone but it's kind of a surreal shot.













Gort little shawn blurl.
















Rock Salt... I swear. This is a jackknifed articulating bus. It's still snowing here and I might get snowed in for the holidays, which would be different.




All the photo's from the Milwaukee Trip.



All the photo's from the Washington St. game.



And finally,

The best Christmas Song ever... it's very 201.
