Time for a new thread and something to get excited about! I am glad this is finally in motion, here are a few thoughts/questions I had after Motz's email last night:
- This sounds awesome, I've never been to Niagara Falls but I'm more just excited that the old towson crew is getting back together and none of us have to worry about our gf's! speaking of Niagara Falls, what is there to do out there? I thought it was more of a tourist thing and not a party place or am I wrong?
- $50 bucks for the weekend? umm sign me up! wait, is there a catch? we're not like sleeping in a tent or something right?
- 20 people on the email chain? haha, sounds like a lot, no chance in hell there is gonna be a weekend that all 20 people are good for obviously. hopefully its just the towson crew and a few of the Cecile creatures we've meet before.
- any idea how far of a drive it is from Baltimore to this place? nick, you trying to carpool or maybe fly/train up there together?
ive actually been on a family vaca. we were too young to do anything fun but we did make a trip into Toronto one day which was awesome as a kid but is also supposed to be one of the best nightlife places in north America. actually thought about have my bparty there. getting everyone into another country could be a bit much thou haha.
Niagara is upper NY, prolly the coldest place in the continental US. meaning its going to be FREEZING there in mid march. hope he doesn't plan on us sleeping in tents for that reason alone.
like you said hopefully its mostly people we know. I have no problem making friends with new people but cecil creatures can barley be considered people haha.
On the canada side; strippers, gambling, night life, what more do you want?
Yeah the drive is ridiculous (7.5 hours for me); seriously look into flights, for me flying and renting a car works out to be about the same as driving....
I'm confused, what does Toronto have to do with Niagara falls? I realize they are close by, but if we are going to be spending our time there why don't we just go there instead?
i figured we'd be on the NY side. joes bachelor party out of the country? PIMPIN/BUCKETS/BALLER
I bring up Toronto because there aint **** for nightlife around Niagara falls, especially on the US side. you know... the stuff we actually want to do on a bachelor weekend. Niagara falls is a tourist destination. Toronto is close and like I said is the hotspot of Canada for stuff like josh mentioned.
ya that's why I was confused initially. seems to me we should be staying in Canada but hey if the rooms are cheap where we are staying and the drive isn't bad then whatever.
ya im not so sure how I feel about the change to AC, but it probably is easier for everyone driving wise and getting rooms. AC isn't as special as it used to be with so many casinos in Maryland now, (and the fact we've been doing AC trips since we turned 21), its nothing special at this point. hopefully we can pick a good night club to go to and everyone does that. still should be a great time as long as everyone goes.
tough decision, I would say Friday night is going to be very exciting with everyone seeing each other for the first time in a while and I have a feeling things are going to get going fast but at the same time I bet most people won't get to AC until 8-9pm at best so Saturday might be your best option. it might take little mikey a while to get over his hangover on Saturday but once that happens I think Saturday will be the better way to go. I'm sure motz is also going to be a terrible planner so Friday night will most likely include what known as "winging it" where staurday might actually have some sort of plan to it.
ha I have no idea, I'm sure that will be fine, all I know is I'm pumped, I haven't had a crazy weekend in AWHILE. you would think motz would send some kinda email with any organization but nope, I don't expect anything from him until like Thursday haha. so far all I know is we got rooms at harrah's but that's all I know.
so nick did u decide what time you are trying to get to AC on Friday? I typically don't get out of work til 5 on Fridays and it takes about 2.5-3 hours (with rush hour traffic) to get there but if people are getting there earlier than that I can get out of work earlier. let me know what you plan on doing.
u were the only one who responded so I dunno. its gonna take me AT LEAST 3 to get there depending on what time I leave (rush hour) so id like to get there earlier but also don't want to be the first one there since everyone is working Friday.
I step into a meeting for 30 minutes and come back to 25 text messages, most from mikey. what the hell is he talking about? cross our fingers for spills? and who is DJ or john that he texted?
The spills is his job, he still works for that environmental clean up agency, and if a spill happens they could send him off to whatever remote location to be their agent on the scene... So he's saying cross your fingers that they don't do that.
In regards to DJ/John, I do not know.
I'm gonna rely on you two to let me know what the room number is once you get there.
haha I feel you there. if I were to break it down I would do it like this:
70% really happy I went and got to see/party with the old crew
20% regret that I didn't make it past Saturday afternoon and missed out on a night I won't be able to get back.
10% hated myself yesterday for how I felt all day and was a good reminder for why I don't drink like that anymore.
Friday was a blast for me. nickerson getting on the stripper stage and having his pants ripped off was great. seeing everyone again and hearing all the old jokes was awesome as well. I don't remember anything past like 1am, and I am pretty sure we were up until about 4-5am. my ATM card said I made a $200 withdrawl but I came home with $6.50 in chips but I also have 2 $100 bills on me which makes no sense at all.
saturday was a disaster. I woke up hammered didn't eat anything and then started heavily drinking car bombs immediately which has a 100% chance of disaster for me. I don't even remember when I passed out, but I'm sure it was early. once I did wake up I had a combination of still being extremely drunk plus nothing in my stomach which made me feel terrible and no chance of going out. once I was asleep from 5pm-midnight and being hungover I had no chance of falling back asleep so I was tossing and turning on the ground feeling like **** from about 2am-9am sunday which brought back tons of good memories of why I hate being hungover.
the real MVP of the weekend for me was the grandparents haha. picking me up at 10am so I didn't have to drive 3 hours home and crash my car was good enough, and then she treated my hangover like I was legitimately sick haha, she made me fresh chicken noodle soup along with some green tea and keep re-freshing my ice pack so I was good to go by about 3pm.
i'll chalk this up to a good reminder of "pacing myself" so once the real weekend comes (vegas) i'll be ready and go to go!
The 200 dollars is from Saturday afternoon, you took out money from the ATM, nothing came out the security guard told you to go to the cashier but you never went
I just got joe's wedding invite over the weekend, is there a spot to add a PLUS 1 or is my gf not allowed to come?
were you guys gf's invited? I'm not sure if I am missing it or if joe didn't account for my gf since he never met her and didn't realize to add her. I'm not mad or anything I just don't know.
yea I figured, I wanted to see how other people's looked first. I also think there is a chance joe lost his phone over the weekend haha. I know he left our room not knowing where it was
chances he pulled a danny and left it at bare exposure which required us to check our cell phones?
man that was a great weekend but I paid for it dearly. after getting up at 9 am still feeling great I though it was a good idea to drive home. wrong. I made it to 95 before the hangover of death hit. barely made it to the deleware house for some BK before passing out from lack of food. I literally ate a burger, some friends and a pickle spear all weekend. otherwise it was liquid diet.
after that I thought id feel better so I got back on the road. barely made it to the Maryland house before having to pull over to rest. puked everywhere out the passenger side door. there goes my BK.
gotta be feeling better at this point.... so I tried to take on 95. nope. had to pull over on the side of the highway for a nap. my body literally wouldn't let me go on anymore. woke up an hour later actually feeling better. made the rest of the trip home. Danielle was wondering why I was 2 hours later than expected. I explained.
ate some dinner sunday night and started feeling better. finally back to 100% after my gym sesh yesterday.
but boy oh boy was that worth it. I had a ton of fun with everyone. the cecil creatures were real cool. I always like morafki but kiran was super nice and rich provided some good laughs. fish you remember insiting on Oklahoma drills against rich? you would get in a 3 point stance then fall straight over hahaha. and hows ur girls feeling about the convo with him? I cant believe she said your friends were wack! who does she think she is? that's it no longer invited to Joes wedding! those boys can drink, although i think car bombs and tequila shots at noon had everyone hurting. joe was out of control all weekend and mikey is still one of the funniest people alive.
I think the only thing you really missed out on was dinner. we destroyed about 100lbs of food and at least 2 bottles of Jamison and a keg. it was happy hour so we had no filter. after that things got real blurry but we ended up at the strip club just like the night before. eh, never as fun the second time around.
also, its prolly best you didn't have a chance to get any gambling in. I got my tax refunds Friday night into Saturday. it is all gone now although it wasn't a bad weekend to spend it on.
haha that's hilarious about the ride home. I am shocked you even tried driving at that point so early in the morning, that's at least a 3.5-4 hour drive, right? shoulda at least slept in for a few more hours, I know I would have if I didn't have the grandparents option. as for allie, she just thought the words Richie was using was weird. called the strip club a "peep show" and she didn't know what the hell an Oklahoma was, regardless I wouldn't take it personally.
I do remember messing with Richie, probably the last thing I do remember fully. I obviously messed up and should have paced myself more. I don't regret missing out on the 2nd night, but I do wish I would have made it to dinner. oh well what can you do at this point, like I said before I guess just a learning experience for vegas, no drinking immediately after waking up hammered without eating! also the pool will be clutch. I have found nothing cures a hangover better than $30 drinks at the pool while soaking in the sun.
I tried booking a room for erms group rate and there's like 4-5 different towers to choose from. let me know which one you guys pick and ill do that same. I'm not booking it until I know, not trying to stay in a different tower than everyone else.

never mind, erm told me where you guys are so I did the same, we're good (I hope!). let me know when you book your return flight its the only thing I haven't done yet
in response to your email, I'm pretty sure you realize I am down for almost whatever but your ideas sound like a good plan for me. the only time things really change for me is when I am experiencing a deadly hangover and then all bets are off. with that said, here are the things I want to do in order:
1. any big time day pool party at one of the clubs.
2. not die with a hangover
3. not break up with my gf
in all seriousness, I've never been to vegas with the weather this hot (both times we went it was either cold or in the winter) so I really want to do a pool party. don't you think getting a cabaña would be worth it? I'm not sure how it works or how much $ it costs, but I think that would be the best course of action with as many guys that we have with most of them liking to sit around anyway, right? if a majority of the guys don't want to do that, I think erm said our hotel has a bunch of pools so I guess we could chill there, but I really wanna hit one of those bigger pool parties.
also, there is this really hot chick from my high school who posted a pic on IG the other day with the caption "are we in vegas yet?" now, I haven't talked to this chick in 3 years, and I have no idea what week her and her crew are heading there, but if she is in vegas the same time we are you can guarantee I will be in rare form and will be creeping hard, so keep your fingers crossed!
hahaha I love how #3 and the last paragraph directly contradict each other. you are ready
I hear ya on the cabana. ill get erm to look into it. ive never been to one of the actual pool parties for reasons you mentioned so ill float it out there but i def wanna go to a real one for sure. gotta see how much tix are but it might not be much more for us to get one.
cant help you with the hangover man. they are a part of life. the reason i want to do the pool party after the big night is bc it makes us get up and do something, and a pool party should help relieve the hangover.
pool is the #1 thing that will help a hangover for me (besides an IV which I hard vegas has a spot to get that as well). I remember last trip I felt like death but 2-3 of those big drinks at the pool and sitting in that coldish water and I was feeling back to 100% in no time!

so I was on the book today and guess who posted they were in vegas?? yup, this same chick. with that said, chances are if she is there today she will not be there by the time Friday hits but...FINGERS CROSSED.
oh damn that's further than I thought. I probably will get a hotel room closer by, I like being in the city and its been a few years for me since I've visited there. anyway, i told mikey to put me down, and right on cue allie already isn't happy I told him yes haha. I still need to decide if im going to pauls in vegas which is probably going to be around the same time so wish me luck convicing her to let me go to both all in the same month!
speaking of paul and mike, their wedding dates are a frigging day apart. this is probably only going to effect me, but I don't know what the hell im going to do when mikes is on a Friday in I assume NJ and pauls is the next day in DC. both are good friends of mine but completely separate groups of friends, so I might have to say no to one of them but idk man this tough haha.
yeah thats tough. i didnt get an invite to mikeys BP -- guess i was too out of control at nickersons. should have spent more of the day sleeping in the hotel room
