This year's Lollapalooza show was going to be all about seeing Ween, but I
got treated to see them play for 3 hours the night before in Madison. So it became all about
Gnarls Barkley and The Flaming Lips.
Neither disappointed. Sara wrote a nice blog about it.
Perry!

I went to see Ween in Madison on August 3rd. It was a sort of
makeup show for one they cancelled in 2004. John from the volleyball team was there, and he was
even more excited than me. I went a little overboard with the camera.
Boognish!

This year's Bonnaroo music festival was all about one thing for me:
Radiohead. They put on a great show. I also was
able to finally get Ben Folds' autograph. Sara wrote a nice blog about it.
Hippie!

Dana threw Benjamin a surprise birthday party for his 30th birthday. I don't know how I feel about having a younger
brother who's 30.
Nun!

This is still a good way to start the year. Everyone that I normally go with punked out and "overslept". Luckily,
we ran into Andy and Jackie who had some tasty hot chocolate for us to drink. Without them, we would have died!
Hot Chocolate!

It was cold outside. Luckily I was not outside that much. I also got pulled over for speeding on the way home
after the party. Good thing I took the wig off.
Afro!

After the last night of a good season (6-2, best season ever) the kickball team went to O'Briens and had some beer and tacos.
We reversed those numbers this spring season, so we'll probably end up changing our name again.
Manbunt!

The birthday was on a Friday this year, so it
turned into this big weekend long thing with the the volleyball people on Friday and the
Badger game on Saturday. I also saw
the The Aristocrats, which is quite possible the filthiest movie
ever (and hilarious), and had a drink at Paddy's. All in all, a good
weekend.
Cake!

The annual trip up to the the Great White North to catch the ever elusive walleye.
Cast!
|
The volleyball team, and some other random people, headed down to the Brewers game. Dranks some forties, ate some
grilled meat, watched the Brewers lose. At least there was beer.
Play Ball!
|
Working at Bonnaroo was even cooler than E3. Surrounded by music and
dirty hippies, what could be better? How about backstage for De La Soul!
Roooooooo!
|
Working at E3 was cool. Being in LA for 8 days? Not so much fun, except
that I got to see Paul, which was cool.
Booth Babes!
|
Snowboarding in the land of mountains. Sometimes I slid a longer distance than some of the runs here in Wisconsin.
Woosh!
|
Green beer and Lucky Charms at 6 in the morning. What could possibly go wrong?
Four Leaf Clover!
|
The air outside was warmer than the water this year.
Brrrrrr!
|
7 pounds, 20 1/2 inches of pure beauty.
Baby!
|
A trip to Vegas and hundreds of fans of "The Big Lebowski". I don't think you're allowed to have this much
fun outside of Nevada.
White Russian!
|
There's really not much else to say about our kickball season except
for this: 0 and 7. Thank you very much.
Kick!
|
I drank a lot of beer at my birthday extravaganza. Which explains
why I didn't remember some of these pictures being taken. But I do remember what's in them, if you follow
what I'm saying.
Beer!
|
The annual family fishing trip up to Canada. Saw some eagles, some deer and some fish. A good time was
had by all.
Sploosh!
|
I spent 23 hours in a car with Al and Lin Wei. I'm surprised we didn't kill each other. There were some interesting stats
from the trip. We crashed in Jeff's house, where I wrote some magnetic poetry on his fridge. That picture did
not turn out.
Fourth!

A bunch of us went camping at Governor Dodge campground not too long ago. I wrote about it
in the blog. It was a good time, even if it was raining when we took down. I was unable to watch tv for two days because
I had a six man tent taking up most of my living room and dining room.
Camping!

My cousin Ryan got married to some girl named Angie. We went to the wedding, which was pretty fun. I was a dancing
mo-chine. Anyway, most of these pictures were taken by my cousin Brandon, who wanted to preserve the moment his
brother Shannon held some guy's hand. Yeah.
Wedding!
|
My friends Jack and Stacy decided to have a birthday party together, since their birthdays are right next to each
other. A bunch of people headed to The Lodge,
a nice little place with good beer. Lots of beer. Something you may be able to tell the further you get into the
pictures.
Birthday!
|
I went on a cruise in January. I even wrote about it. I took a bunch of pictures and
put them in with the travelogue. Then my friend Jeff said I should put the pictures here too. He said it many
times. So here they are.
Cruisin!
|
So, since this was turning from 2002 to 2003, that makes it New Year's Eve 2002 right? Anyway, there's exactly
six pictures here, so I was able to add some comments and all that sort of stuff. Makes me wish I was funnier.
Auld Lang Syne!
