Mike & Jeanette's Bachelor/Ette Party

May 12, 2006

Drinking on a school bus and Whirlyball

Jordan rented a school bus for his brother's bachelor party. It was also a combined bachelorette party for his fiancée, Jeanette. The school bus really was a great idea since it carried everyone and we were able to drink on the way out. Something just doesn't seem right when people are drinking and smoking on a yellow school bus. I seem to remember dreading that bus every morning, but this experience changed all that.

Whrilyball was... well, Whiryball. There were a lot of people, so this made it much easier to take advantage of the unlimited beer package between rounds. Since watching Whirlyball video is kind of boring, I put together a little music video of the good parts to the Beastie Boys track, "Check it Out." I also threw a few of the good clips with sound afterwards to get the full effect. Me, Mark and Justin realized towards the end that they would let us get on the microphone and be the "announcers." Good camera angle up there too. By the end of our allotted time, we had accumulated an entire table full of beers and were working them down before the bus left.

The bus ride home was a blast even without the loads of beer from earlier. It must have sucked for the bus driver driving us on her birthday, but hopefully the song cheered her up. Plus, she played a round of Whirlyball earlier. We got off the bus to let off some of the younger kids and so we could regroup before heading to the bar. The bus was supposed to take us there, but she took off the minute the last person got off the bus. Maybe this was because Jordan was puking in the bushes? We went to the Mark (a local bar) to continue drinking. I do remember having fun, but without the camera and a fuzzy memory... scene missing.
