Twas an early morning on January 1st 2010. The new year just began not long ago... awoken by an alarm clock at 7am just 3 hours after falling asleep, I had to wake up and get a move on. Darren gave me a rang when he was on his way to picking up Dewey and shortly after he came to pick me up as well... with 250 or so miles ahead of us at 9am and not much sleep, we were all on our way to Tahoe to be on time for Masumi's Bull SH**... I mean Wedding.
On the way there, maybe a third of the way?? we ran into some trouble with the Police!!! tinted windows.... Poor Darren is gunna have to pay his Dues... Stupid Pigs always trying to catch Us Ridin dirty!
The cop was actually overly nice and even offered to Darren the option of charging/sending the ticket to His Mother since she was the one registered as the owner of the car.... idk thought that was kinda funny.
On our way we were again, till Darren needed to make a pit stop. Which was nice because I was kinda hungry so we all grabbed a bite at Jack in the Box somewhere out there... It was serriously the nicest Jack in the Box ive ever seen, and the sour dough jack was fenominal^^
Anyhoo we made it up the hill to an area where some snow was... Weather wasnt bad at all, and we never needed chains.
Finally we got there and got our hotel room. It was super cold, but not as cold as I expected it to feel. But didnt really matter anyways cuz most of the time we were inside.
After hanging out for a bit in the hotel room with Darren, Dewey and later Ben when he showed up. we got dressed and cleaned up for the rehearsal thingy we had to go to.
The view outside where there ceremony was going to take place was quite nice i must say... I forgot how big the lake actually was... very nice selection masumi, very nice.
After meeting everyone who i didnt know, We went over all the steps of the wedding, and taking orders from those who know whats going on... pretty much my job was to follow Dewey, and stand straight with my arms to the side, and dont lock the knees... or somethin like that...
After all the non-scence I was starvin! waiting and waiting for the guy to stop talking and for it to be time to eat felt like fooorrreverrrr! But the time came, and the setting was very nice. the food was very well made and yummi.
Menu:
Bow Tie pasta w/chicken in Marinara/tomato sauce
Mushroom Raviolis
another Ravioli w/ asparagus and i cant remember what else
and a Salad which mine consisted of: Mixed greens, sea scallops, ceasar dressing, chicken, sun dried tomatos, and a hefty amount of fresh parmesean cheese.
also with white and red wines. and ice cream balls rolled in chocolate flakes with a rasberry pure' and/or caramel sauce, and a mixed berry pastery.
everything was very yummi. could have been a little warmer but hey, you cant always keep everything perfect when ur not cooking in a kitchen. Good Job chinese lady, ur italian food was eadible... jk it was good.
After the dinner, we all went back to the room, I stayed there along with Dewey and got a little bit of shut eye for a bit. Made a phone call or two and surfed the web. Pretty much just took it easy. I think Darren and Ben were at the pool or something...? Dewey went and joined them later on after he woke up.
waking up the next morning wasnt too bad... although waking up and having to get ready when i just wanted to be lazy and chill wasnt fun... but It happen. Since we had to get ready and take pictures, we all had to take showers and get our fits on and do the damn thing.
Masumi didnt like my hair or my hello kitty necklace at the rehersal dinner so I decided if he doesnt like a pony tail... then he must like pig tails^^ kikikii
After getting ready we were to meet up in masumi's room where some photos were going to be taken.
After a serries of photos in Masumi's room and at the bar. our photo shoot time had ended. We were on a break till the wedding. We ate at the little cafe at the hotel and it was really good. Dewey and I shared a pizza which was tasty and not too expensive
Later after a while of eating, shitting in the hotel room and some Roulette, we headed over to the Wedding ceremony area, into the groomsmen waiting room, where we waited to do our groomsmen thingy.
The view outside was super nice!
The Wedding happen and it was time for the dinner! and open bar! Food was taking a while so i had a comforting 3 cranberry and vodkas, during and while i waited for dinner to be served. the flower thingy on the table was big and pretty too^^ looked expensive.
The dinner buffet was super yum status! and we all ate and danced and sang and watch the newly weds cut some cake. It was super fun. I chit chatted with Masumi's mother, who i think is one of the coolest people! She had much to tell me about Korea, Japan, and parties, and Love hotels.
Later we headed back to the hotel when it was all finished up and took it easy. a few others joined the room to kick it and wind down.
With many words on the phone with Mimi about Dewey, she wondered who he was and what he looked like, so I sent her a picture of Dewey reppin where hes from " WEEESST SAAAHHHYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!"
As others were at the bar down stairs me and Dewey came up on a box of ritz crackers!!! snow flake shaped ones in fact. we ate and ate and ate, and then decided it would be fun to throw them around at the walls and stuff in the hotel room. Id have to admit... it was quite fun in deed!
Russell + Hotel Rooms = Dangerously fun things my occur
Waking up the next day we were trying to leave at a decent time. Mostly i wanted to go cuz I had work and I wasnt trying to stay In SF all day. I wanted my day of traveling and work to end early to catch a move (Sherlock Holmes).
Later after getting back from our long ride home and returning our Tuxs, I was on my way back up to SF to Power Source to put in a few hours of work... :( Cutting veggies and being around food products made me a starving man, so I whipped up a short stack of sweet potato fries to full fill my need of food...
That was my wonderful busy fun filled weekend wedding thing.
Congrats sumi and Sarah!
