Aric's birthday and Run for Cover.

After brunch on Saturday, Jay, Ivy and I did some shopping on Columbia Road. I bought some disposable cameras and Ivy bought a butterfly shirt at the Latino Hoochie store on the corner. This is the first photo that I have ever seen of Jay. He is the only person that I know without a Myspace picture. Here they are outside of Metro Spirits. I had hoped to buy Aric some Sparks for his birthday, but as it turned out almost everywhere in the neighborhood is currently out of Sparks, because of the distributors. They Metro Spirits employees kept suggesting that I get Budweiser E, but I had to tell them that it was disgusting. So instead I bought the Old English High Gravity 40.

On our way back, we ran into Ben Holland-Arlen and his friend. He was going to a rehearsal dinner for his friend's wedding that evening. I took this photo of him because I don't know the next I will see him. I think Ben was acutally on the phone with Aric when this photo was taken. After we parted ways with Ben, I headed home to shower and get ready for the evenings events.





Here is Ivy in her butterfly shirt, pouring some Margaritas that I had just whipped up. I think that I left the rest of my handle of Cuervo over there. I will need to retrieve that at some point. We chilled on the porch with Jay and Fred for awhile and then headed over to Aric's rooftop deck.

Two weekends ago, Jay had his appendix removed. He thought he was dying, but everyone kept telling him that he was hungover. Eventually, one of his roommates took him the emergency room, where he was eventually admitted after puking all over the waiting room floor. Now he has three little scars with bandages over them on his stomach. I meant to take a photo of them, but I like this one of Jay, he looks very relaxed. Fred is hilarious. I realized when I got these photos back that Ivy and I love each other or Fred is just really good at getting us to show off for the camera. There is a definite progression from this first photo of me and Ivy to the last.



We finished up our margaritas, just as Ian got out of a cab and headed over to the BBQ on Aric's rooftop.
Last weekend, Aric was growing a beard, but after a short trip down to Richmond, he decided that there were too many and shaved it into a moustache. He looks very 70s porn now, it's hot!!

I really wanted to tie a balloon to the top of this teepee thing on Aric's roof. However, I think this is as far as I could make it up. This is the second of Fred's photo shoots.

There is Matt with the High Gravity. I think he ended up drinking the majority of the 40. I love this photo, he looks so damn serious about drinking that thing.

I had wrapped the 40 in the 4th of July tinsel that you can see on Aric's head. I made his wear it on his head for this birthday photo. Below is a cute picture of me and Matt. We are so damn cute!!
