The Bachelor/Bachelorette Party-athon

First thing is first.
Lydia has shared interest in getting started on planning the pre-nuptial debauchery fest known as the Bachelorette Party. Michael and I still have no takers for planning the testosterone vesion of this. Michael has merely stated that he wants there to be some Whirly Ball involved. You boys will have to look into this. HOWEVER, you will all have to work together because the last part of this party will be when we all meet up at a local Karaoke bar to have a drunken song-off together. So, get in touch with eachother if you want to stake claim in this party plannin glory.

I can try and help Lydia plan it... But two people from the left coast planning something in Chicago might end up with everyone in the hospital. Anyways... I will help if no one else has the time. :-) Go Sharks.

GOOD NEWS! I got ahold of the owner of Super Dawg and they are going to sell us the boxes for 1 quarter each (cost!!). We are going to pick them up next week!!!

Yay, Super Dawg...
So, if you were thinking that you'd wanna plant some gladiolas for your bach party, I could totally help plan that...or if you needed to learn how to ride a bike or how to tie your shoes, I'm wicked good at teaching both those things...anything hipper than that, my brain would start to hurt. I'm most happy to help with any of it, but I'm thinking I should bow to the party planners on this one...the last 6 parties I planned all revolved around basketball, roller skating and pumpkin carving.
Happy to help-
Shannon
Ps-I'm writing so much to make up for Slacker Erin who is obviously as excited about blogging as Moe Moe is. Love yous!!
Josh, maybe you could just copy of few texts from her so it looks like she posted?
Can't wait to meet the infamous Josh soon...I feel so left out. :(

Erin said...

Yes, I admit. I've been a slacker. But you can only use so much of your creative genius when it's being depleted by data entry. Every time a key strokes, a brain cell loses it's wit. Anyway, of course I'll help with the planning :)

Shannon--your pic is hilarious! First impressions occur within the first 30 seconds of meeting someone. I'm pretty sure yours occured in 2. HAHAHA.. love you :)

So not much (anything) has been done so far. Melissa and Michael have both said they want to do pub-crawls and finish off in the same place so they can stare at each others faces. Its hard not to give too much away but, since Melissa has used her management skills to give me a very detailed description of the party she doesn't want to plan, I think there's some stuff we can all work on.

The idea is like a scavenger hunt but for adults. So we need to come up a list of things/dares for the guys and the girls to do on their respective crawls. Think of things to collect along the way either by actually picking them up and taking them (like tampons from the bar bathrooms, etc.) or collect via photo evidence (i.e. "get on the bar and air guitar", etc.) Most of them should be things we can all do but we should also come up with a few especially embarrassing/illegal ones for Melissa and Michael to accomplish alone.

Note: Don't post your ideas here because these will be a surprise to Melissa and Michael. You can send them to me via email at losolinsky@gmail.com or fly out to California and we can discuss over cocktails. Your choice.

Also, I don't live in Chicago...so I will need some help planning a route. Melissa and Michael, suggestions are welcome. Anyone know of sweet strips of bars we can take over?

Well, well, well. Seems like we have a bunch of comedians doing this wedding thing that we are all being brought together for. I'm thinking that if none of us ends up in the clink or a hospital, it will already be a success. either way sounds like a good time. Plus I have spent many a night drinking with Slip (sorry, Michael), and trust me the pub crawl thing sounds right up his alley. I will help as much as I can to get things planned for this increasingly epic event, but as with some others it's hard to do it from miles away. I do like the idea of Whirly Ball looks like a drunken good time. Anything else that happens would all be just gravy. Heres to meeting you all that I don't know.
