No War But Class War.

After the Piscioneri wedding we headed down to Columbus for the rest of the weekend which included a night at Char Bar. There was a great turnout considering it was probably the busiest day in Downtown Columbus history (NHL Draft, Gay Pride Parade and ComFest).

Afterwards we headed out and I just so happened to find a placard that read ‘No War But Class War’, as you would assume I had to take it with us. JJ, Nick, Julie and myself proceeded to march down High Street back to Myles’ house while carrying the banner for all to see. One way or another I managed to use the sign to swat a beer bottle to the ground and as soon as the bottle hit everyone within a two block radius hears the distinct sound of a police bullhorn:

“Unless you want to go to jail, you better pick up that bottle”

I of course pick up the bottle, throw it away and we continue on our march. JJ starts singing in Sinatra like tones: There’s No War/But Class War. Nick and I follow suit the whole way back to Myles’ house where JJ and I decide it’s a good idea to plant the sign in Myles’ front yard. No dice. We ended up just leaving it against his front door.

Beck Tavern.

Beck Tavern

Last night several people gathered last night for a pitcher of beer or two at Beck Tavern in Columbus. A good showing (one James never made it due to the common man’s arch enemy: The Airline Industry) even Myles Tersnak made it out. Some darts were played, your’s truly hit the floor more often than not.

Beck Tavern had was pretty low key all night with not much of crowd but this worked out well. We mostly stuck with pitchers for the duration of the night. Ordeing pitchers is what I prefer when at all possible. As a great man once said:

What’s on draft? really means What’s on cheap?

1. I can't really say I knew what this drink was but it was furnished by one Kyle Neugebauer.2. And So it begins...3. This is about the time my camera gets destroyed.

Now I won’t say what occured in the photographs above direclty caused what happened to my camera but is sure didn’t help. Needless to say I once again need a new camera, I managed to drop mine under the table and the button which you use to take pictures popped off. The camera still works but we never found the button. Of course this is now my 3rd Canon Elf that I have broken. With any luck I will get on for Christmas or I’ll be foreced to buy one before New Years.

This weekend Julie and I attended JJ and Kim’s wedding in Columbus, as far as I can tell this was several years in the making.

JJ and Kim Frencho.

The reception was held at Nationwide’s Atrium where a young, unsuspecting couple, was lucky enough to be seated with the likes of me, Kyle, James and Nick Barbone. No small feat. After the reception and a change of clothes we headed over to the Elevator to meet up with most everyone from the wedding who was up for a drink or four.

A summary of the end of my night/morning:

We ended up heading back to the hotel after the Elevator, leaving my hotel key with Nick Barbone and an invitation for James to stay in our room. At about 3:30 I get a call from James while he’s pounding on our door. I let him in knowning he has to make a 9:00am flight back to California. A few hours later James’ phone alarm starts ringing so I attempt to throw a pillow from the chair at him. As I grab for the pillow I notice Nick is actually sleeping on the chair leaving a third yet unknown man sleeping in our room. I hit James with the pillow but to no affect. The alarm eventually stops and I go back to sleep. I start to assume that the other person in the room is Todd Boylan who must have stumbled in with Nick at an unknown hour. At about 7am the alarm goes off again. I still can’t wake James. We go back to sleep again. Finally at 8am, with the alarm ringing and Julie physicaly pulling on James’ leg he wakes and heads out. Nick gets up from the chair and takes James’ place on the bed. About an hour later Todd gets up and asks Nick for that ride he promised him in a drunken stumble to the strip club 4 hours before. At this point Nick recalls that he doesn’t have his car, it’s at Myles’. Awesome. Todd leaves (via Cab?) and then we notice Myles has called at about 9am. Nick and I assume this is because we left some food out at his place earlier but we later find out this is because we have the key to his house and Myles had to sleep at a neighbors.

Par for the course.
