Bring on the weekend

went out to Sukothai with Komus and Shawna last night. Komus has been booked to play a bunch of shows in Australia and is gone for three weeks and we're all green with envy. I didn't finish my pad thai (though it was great, there was just a lot of it) and Tyrone had the 10 spicy and got sweat in his facial hair (gross) and afterward we came back here and made way too many snacks and drank a bunch of home-made wine.
Today is going to consist of not showering till later, playing Twilight Princess and going to this tonight:

my advice for you today is this: don't clean while wearing a sweater. I did a bunch of running around this afternoon buying snacks for yet another wine party and realized the apartment is a sty and did a crazy whirlwind clean while listening to the entire first Protomen album (listen to them their stuff is like sex for your ears) and now I'm kind of all frazzled-looking and my hair is crazy cat woman-esque and I'm just going to throw one of those sloppy beanie-type hats on tonight and act like it's the look I was going for the whole time. also I'm sweaty.
should I shower again today? yes or no? like you care.
Tyrone was out having a man-date with @morleyrigged and @ckomus they were having a 'jam sesh' which is where Komus DJs and Tyrone and Morley do VJ stuff to match. it's actually really neat and I don't know how to do it at all. in case you didn't know Tyrone and Morley are Union Union and they do really sweet VJ stuff. Komus is a kickass DJ but you knew that already.
while Tyrone was out I went on an adventure and had a latte at the new Stella's in the Buhler Centre downtown with Will and he bought me these omg:
he got me the shark and I'm basically dying over this. I wish I could get my hands on some helium because how awesome would this be to be 'swimming' around the apartment tonight while we're all blasted on wine or anytime really?
also here is a text conversation I just had:
Tyrone: I'm missing mah baby
Alyson: MISSINGYOUGUY
I'm going to go play Super Mario RPG
Weekend Recap 06.21.11

Skipping Sunday and starting with Thursday and #secrethandshakeI always go but I never blog - the Lo has garbage lighting for taking photos unless you hang out right next to the bathrooms or in them
Post Lo Pub Ty, @cenquist, and @cjgibson84 and I went to scope out Latin Night for Jazzfest and drink awful beer in the beer tent
we also took this picture?
additional company was provided by @khemlab and his lovely wifey Kendra, as well as the awesome @GordLeClercCTV
Friday was Project Evening in which Ty did projects and I watched Casino Royale, some episodes of Big Love, and this:
Super glad we stayed in otherwise we might not have had the juice to spend the day lounging in the sun with @JohnnyBroadway, @ckomus, @morleyrigged, Kat and Shawna.
It's our first beach outing of the year and it was heaps of fun, there were some NSFW shots of pretzels that I have safely stored on my phone (haha!) and being out in the sun with great friends is really pumping me up for the camping trip we have planned for Canada Day long weekend -I've never been out of the city for the long weekend, but it's going to be insane, I can tell.
and yikes! Only one more day until #memefestival2011! The festival begins Thursday night at Whiskey Dix at 9pm on the patio! I'll be live tweeting the event (and blogging, if the time allows) for the entire four days of the festival from our twitter at @memefestival so pick a time and come out and say hi!

Rather than bore you with one of the longwinded "I did this, this weekend" posts that always seem to follow a weekend of non-blogging, here's my highlight reel of what went down:
The effort that it took to drag our hungover selves out to re:play at the WAG on Saturday w to be honest totally ridiculous. But it was mrghosty's show and obviously we wanted to check out some of the cool stuff featured at the event. Erica Glacier did a wicked post about it that you can check out, with way more photos. All I got was Ty doing some circuit bending on a Winnie The Pooh game because I was too busy watching people play the virtual pinball machine.
However, I'm never too hungover to hang out in the sun at the 'Ledge (in sunglasses). We were later joined by jabezlee and K and after a a bellini I was feeling much better.There's been some ridiculous ish happening in the group lately and it was great to chill with some solid peeps and hash out everything that's been going on. Our social circle is so close-knit and supportive, I'm always amazed by my friends!
I hardly even had time to get home and change before we were off on Vikki and Vance to The Fox and Hound (greasiest watering hole ever!) for karaoke with cenquist, kenquist and adriantrimble.
Look at those two belt out Tiny Dancer! Possibly the most hilarious thing I have ever seen.
And this was the face of Sunday.I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.
