Let the Games Begin...

Sun in the sky, pool's getting ready, beers cracked open, grill's fired up, blender's motoring some crazy alcoholic concoctions, maybe you're up the Lake or Beach House(for you lucky ones haha) and of course, friends and family....what a lineup. For many of us, this is a scene around this time of the year, Memorial Day Weekend.

It's like the ceremonial start to Summer fun, and inevitably leads to countless laughs and stories. For my 24 years on this earth, I have been able to determine what kind of summer it would be based on what took place during Memorial Day Weekend...and it never fails. In fact, I am just now recovering from last night's festivities with friends. From drinking in the hot tub, to beer pong til all hours of the night to random shots at 3,4,5 am for no real reason, it was certainly a good night, becoming of Memorial Day tradition. I can forecast already that we're going to have an awesome summer with many more parties in mind.

It's almost like Punxsutawney Phil on Groundhog Day, if you wake up on Memorial Day morning with a hangover...that's 12 weeks of awesome summer fun ahead, if not, you probably won't make it out of June before you're bored out of your mind.

Sometimes overlooked essential to Memorial Day or any Party:

Music- Absolute necessity, and me, being our resident DJ, luckily came through on this last night with 4 mixtapes then perhaps the gem of the night, Michael Jackson's This Is It around 3am when it just seemed appropriate for MJ sing-alongs. Music drives the party and ensures no silence throughout the night, even when people start dropping like flies.


Virtue of Memorial Day Cooking:

Grilling must be done people, must be done. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken, whatever, but if you don't have the grill on this weekend, you're simply not American.


Happy Memorial Day everyone...eat, drink, be merry, but especially drink.
