Well, maybe not really.  Mikey:  &#8220;PR, your hair looks like a tree rat got loose in it.&#8221;  This is actually about what my hair looked like any Sunday at Sleep Out Louie&#8217;s in 2006 around 8 PM.<\/p>\n<p>Most awesome time I&#8217;ve had in a while.  C and J, your condo is fantastic.  I wish my apartment was decorated so well.  Great friends, great conversation, great time, and plenty of Bud Light to keep John D happy.  You know, I don&#8217;t mean to sound like I&#8217;m bragging here, but I know I must be a pretty cool guy, because I get to hang around this AMAZING group of friends.  It absolutely astonishes me when I think about the abundance of really good, quality people I have in my life.<\/p>\n<p>The party wound down about 11 PM and I walked toward the Downtown core.  My plan was to hit a club or two on the way home.  Walked past one club &#8211; actually, one of my favorites &#8211; where I&#8217;m well known enough that I can beat cover, get other people in, and get hook-ups on drink prices.  And I stood there outside for a second, and thought, that gives me about 1% of the contentment that I get from hanging out with good friends.<\/p>\n<p>Then I walked home.  I&#8217;ll be in bed by midnight.<\/p>\n<p>Love you guys.  Hell yes there need to be more house parties.  See you at brunch at McGuinness in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>(Edited to add:  There was a crockpot of Little Smokies in BBQ sauce, and the Nuh-Uh Girl grabbed a piece of broccoli from a veggie tray and dipped it in the BBQ sauce and ate it.  That was kinda gross.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went to a friend&#8217;s housewarming party in the South Main district tonight.
