why did we have to meet on the night I lost my head

i woke up monday (late) morning, went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. through half-lidded eyes I saw my shirtless body covered with (temporary) tattoos, hair standing up wildly, and thought, wow, it's been a helluva weekend already.

this weekend, around twenty of our dearest friends descended upon ann arbor in waves to attend our Alternative/Urban Family Reunion. There was much singing, dancing, and a bondage-donkey piñata. Each day new friends would arrive, while others had to leave. We took over Katie's apartment from her freaky roommate and made it our own, and in the downtime we played wii tennis. Brian gets the super-trooper award for flying to detroit at 6am on sunday to be here, and flying out this morning at 6:30am to make it to work in manhattan by 9. KT gets the travel award for driving (being driven?) 9 hours each way from the upper peninsula of michigan to stay here for less than 24 hours.

there are a gazillion pictures to come, which makes me think I should finally start a flickr site. until then, here's a lovely picture of brian while we were having sangria on the patio at the /aut/ bar. (the pin is actually katie's and is my favorite trinkety thing right now).
