Party at the Manor, Dahhhling
There was a Cali Crew reunion this past weekend in Fairfax Station, VA, at Matt and Shel’s house… errrr… the Manor, Buffy dear. Erin flew from SoCal on Thursday afternoon, Mr. Jay Bartletti joined us a little later on that same day, and our great friend Suhail joined us much later that evening. We stayed up till about 5am, drinking, reminiscing, and being generally very immature. =)
Some of the better photos from that evening:
We hung out by the pool… (by the way, Matt & Shel just re-landscaped the backyard – dude, it’s like, awesome.)
Played some pool…
Laughed together…
Made funny faces…
Drank liquor…
And hung out with great friends some more…
Some memorable quotes from the evening:
ERIN: “Who cares if the place is haunted, it’s got a bar.”
ERIN: “Is that a barn?” SHEL: “Yep, and there’s a tractor in there!” JAY: “Knee slappin!”
JEAN: “Johnny Boooooze Cruise!”
FROGS: “RIBIT! RIBIT! RIBIT-RIBIT-RIBIT-RIBIT!!! RIBIT! RIBIT! RIBIT-RIBIT-RIBIT-RIBIT!!!”
And that was just the first evening. Friday was fairly mellow, we went out for Pho. It was a VERY LONG DRIVE to get to the Vietnamese restaurant. Jay amused himself while I drove:
We finally got to the restaurant (with Shel’s friend Amanda):
where someone proceeded to have the BEST BEANSPROUT EVER!!!
On Saturday, Matt and Shel hosted a Tiki Party to christen their new backyard.
I had the pleasure of meeting some of Matt and Shel’s friends, hopefully we’ll get to hang out some more! I was too busy drinking to take too many pictures, but here is at least one, of Erin in the pool with some youngins, probably explaining how to play a drinking game. “So, to reiterate, if you have a face card, you have to drink 10…”
And finally on Sunday we went see Elvis Costello and Emmylou Harris at Wolftrap. Matt and Shel’s friend Melissa joined us, she brought wine, grapes, and cheese, so she was automatically “in” with us. She also has great toes, which is always a plus. =P
So there you go. I had a great weekend, and hope to get back down there soon. I miss you guys already!!
Fall semester starts soon, so other than school-related stuff, I probably won’t have much to report for a while!

Not that I could have come, but I wasn’t invited why?
