No, Really… You Just Had To Be There. #pbandtuna

by LiLu on October 20, 2009 · 98 comments

in BEATDOWN bitches,BFFies,LOVE,a reason to NOT drink,apparently i'm 5 years old,blogs,cool shit,driving the bus to hell,dutch ovens are funny no matter what you say,friends,funsies,gettin our dance on,i heart this city,i love you jerks,i vom in my hair far too often,pbandtuna,promising TMIs and confessionary tales,spreading the love herpes style,twitterwhore,why are you still friends with me?

I want to write a recap. I really, really do.

But honestly… there is just no way I could EVER do this weekend justice. It would be impossible to truly capture. But, for you… I’m going to try.

Use your words…

My favoritest things about this past weekend, a la bullets.

Maxie admitting she likes 30 Rock.
All 50 of us bursting into song at Stetson’s. “You say she’s just a friend, but you say she’s just a friend OH BABY YOU!!!!!!!!”
Actually, all of us bursting into song all weekend long.
Finally at long last convincing f.B and B to perform “Ebony and Ivory” at karaoke. And by “convincing” I mean “writing their names on the list so they had no choice in the matter”.
Meeting all the people I’d never groped in person before.
Stealth-salting everything and everyone in sight.
Someone shouting “INTERVENTION!!!!!!!!” every 30 seconds.
Lexa going rampant on people’s heinies all Saturday.
Much needed brunches and bacon Bloody Marys at Matchbox and Bar Pilar, with a side of laughing so hard it hurt… the entire time.
Getting awesome and hilarious presents like a pictoral collection of cats wearing wigs, children’s Pooping Instructional books, a penis ice luge, “dirty” Mad Libs, Firefly sweet tea vodka, a pet Snuggie (box altered a la Sharpie to be for a cat instead of dog), a plastic guitar I can drink out of, engraved goblets with our wedding date, some Spanish pornos, an “I Love Jesus” shot glass, some Flava Flav-esque bling, and way, WAY too many vodka and sodas.
The bartender’s t-shirt at Stetson’s that said “I heart peeing”.
B treating me like a pretty, pretty princess on my birthday weekend.
Not vomiting once. (Well, at least not until MONDAY morning… it counts!)
The sombrero that mysteriously appeared and danced its way over the heads of all #pbandtuna participants.
Epic dance offs all over the goshdarn place.
Little lip-liner hearts appearing on people’s chesticles throughout the evening.
Me going absolutely POSTAL on a strange man who tried to kiss me and pretty much every girl there… and terrifying him to the point that he actually left the bar within about 10 seconds. Do not fuck with me on my special day, Creepy McCreeperson. YOU WILL LOSE.

Our fabulous wedding guests were…

(I hope to Chuck Norris I am not leaving anyone out. PLEASE let me know if I do and I will fix and give you a free dumpster baby or a Tootsie Roll pop or something as reparations.)

12 Minds, A, Alice, anoukange, B, Cavy, Cleveland’s A Plum, Deutlich, dmb5_ libra, DMBosstone, Dysfunction Junction, f.B, flippy, Ginger Mandy, jenniferalaine, JerzeyGrrl, JP, Just A Girl, KassyK, Katertot, Katie Rose, Late- Night Drama Queen, Lemmonex, Lusty Reader, M (Only One Way Down), Malnurtured Snay, Marie, Maxie, Mr. 5280, Pithy Comments, PQ, Rachel Smiles, Restaurant Refugee, Shine Out Loud, Suburban Sweetheart, thebestmichelle, Urban Bohemian,and last but certainly not least, What A Grand World.

I could not have asked for a better group of people, for reals. And so, as a very special (shameful) treat, I’ve decided to make your ears bleed with a video of the song I serenaded my fiancee with at karaoke on Friday night… there are no words. Please to enjoy.

I’m so ashamed, yet strangely proud… how is that possible?

PB and Tuna is obviously going to be a recurring event. How could we not, after its complete and utter awesome-icity?

Pencil in your calendars, folks. October 23rd, 2010… it’s all going down, AGAIN.

31 inkpuddle October 20, 2009 at 8:46 am: So it took me to like :57 or so to figure out precisely what song was being sung, but somehow that makes it even better. Loved it. Thanks for giving us slackers a glimpse of the awesomeness.
32 KassyK October 20, 2009 at 9:02 am: Does it show how much I love thee when I stumble out of my apartment 2 blocks away, high on Xan and painkillers from surgery, in my winter finest…because I MUST duck in for 2 minutes and give you and Lex a kiss before heading back to sleepy land? I love you.

40 Nikki October 20, 2009 at 9:34 am: Is that lipliner war paint? Oh what I wouldn’t give to live in D.C.! I filled out a survey the other day and they didn’t even have a Washington State option, only D.C.
41 Kendall October 20, 2009 at 9:34 am: Still pissed I couldn’t make it but the idea of pbandtune2010 makes me happy in the pants.

55 Mike October 20, 2009 at 10:43 am: Spanish Porn? If mooooog was there it would have been midget porn.
56 Lola Lakely October 20, 2009 at 10:47 am: This sounds/looks like an effing blast! Mmmmm Firefly sweet tea vodka. Sometimes I can’t tell whether I am watching a Spanish soap opera or soft core porn. It’s a toss up really.
57 Lil' Woman October 20, 2009 at 10:52 am: lol…LOOOOOVVVVEEEE the video, congrats on the nuptials and birthday!
58 Gillian October 20, 2009 at 10:53 am: Is it just me or is this a lot of brunette adorableness? I think that it is.
59 Stoneskin October 20, 2009 at 10:55 am: I appreciate the karaoke trick. Nice one – I will definitely play that trick some time.

Another good one is, when in a restaurant with friends, to wait till a mate is in the loo and then tell the manager it is his birthday, and then watch the cake, music, restaurant-wide singing and embarrassment unfold.
60 HannahBlue October 20, 2009 at 11:02 am: Oops! That “tone deaf” video won’t load for me. Darn!
61 Alice October 20, 2009 at 11:07 am: ahhh… ’twas indeed a good night. bummed i couldn’t stay for the full night, although i am hoping that means i will manage to evade the #pbandtunaflu.
62 justjp October 20, 2009 at 11:23 am: Wow, I look way ripped. The lack of sleep killed me, but I was still reprezentin

65 ria October 20, 2009 at 11:46 am: after such an amazing year this year i can’t imagine what next year will be like! i wish i lived closer to witness the awesomeness!
66 Jaime October 20, 2009 at 11:51 am: Maybe next year I’ll go. Maybe. I’ll be living far away by then, though, so it’s a pretty big maybe. I really hope I get to meet you before the big move next year. I got to meet Maxie this summer, it’d be a shame if I didn’t get to meet her wife. :]
67 Michelle October 20, 2009 at 11:54 am: truly an epic event……must book plane ticket for next year!!

68 Riff Randell October 20, 2009 at 12:06 pm: Like so many other times, I blame Canada.
69 Riff Randell October 20, 2009 at 12:07 pm: As in, blame it for not being there. Because Canada is far away. Or something. GREAT COMMENT.

74 Kellie October 20, 2009 at 2:43 pm: Love the pics! You are one hot lady! Like I didn’t know that before.

75 blueviolet October 20, 2009 at 3:00 pm: Nobody knows how to party like you!
76 MinD October 20, 2009 at 3:04 pm: Monday is not the weekend, so it totally counts.
77 siovhan October 20, 2009 at 3:51 pm: it looks SPECTACULAR.

78 kym October 20, 2009 at 3:55 pm: i’d like to get a hold of this children’s pooping instructional book. hahahha! sounds like an epic weekend, lilu! ;P
79 Tabitha October 20, 2009 at 4:11 pm: Um…FRICK. I kind of HATE the West Coast right now. Or the fact that I am flat broke and there was no way in HADES I could’ve even pretended to consider the possibility of flying over there for this celebration. I NEED A FREAKING BLOGGER MEETUP ALREADY! How come YOU get all the great bloggy friends on your side of the country? And…and…and!!

Okay, I’m done whining. Wow, this looks like it was a total blast! Thanks for sharing!
80 Kate Coveny Hood October 20, 2009 at 4:55 pm: I miss weekends like that… Sounds like a great time and the pictures are adorable. Now I feel like my grandma… Except I did get really wasted at a rehearsal dinner this past weekend and woke up to a blood trail from my finger to a bag in the hotel bathroom holding my toothbrush, toothpaste and a razor. Hmmm – wonder what I was reaching for. So I guess I still have a story or two (tame ones – but better than nothing).
81 Jules October 20, 2009 at 4:58 pm: Yes, but you did yours TRUE VEGAS STYLE,Baby!!! Rock on, my Twinsie!!!!

Loved the recap!
82 katelin October 20, 2009 at 5:03 pm: love it all! glad the wedding was so fabulous. the pictures are amazing and the video, superb. basically i love it all.
83 kys October 20, 2009 at 5:47 pm: Sounds like fun! I’ve got “Just A Friend” stuck in my head now.
84 Adrienzgirl October 20, 2009 at 7:18 pm: Pure adult awesomeness right there!
85 Allison October 20, 2009 at 8:12 pm: your back up singers were awesome. I think I’m going to youtube the video of that song now.

87 Nikolett October 20, 2009 at 9:29 pm: That looks like the awesomest, most randomest partay ever, and I love it. And send that poncho my way, I could use it for Halloween haha. Glad you didn’t throw up ’til Monday morning, you are a CHAMP!
88 Nikolett October 20, 2009 at 9:30 pm: And my poncho, I mean sombrero. Wow, who is wasted now?

91 Meghan October 20, 2009 at 11:32 pm: That sounds like an amazing weekend, glad you had a great birthday/wedding #pbandtuna2010
92 Ali October 20, 2009 at 11:56 pm: Oh boy. I really don’t have a whole lotta words to put in this comment. I kinda just wish I was there to be absolutely ridiculous with all of you fab people. Sigh.
93 GingerMandy October 21, 2009 at 7:57 am: you girls are the most wicked bitchin’ married couple i know. i’m so glad i got to be there for the nups!

95 Suburban Sweetheart October 21, 2009 at 10:18 am: I miraculously made it into exactly ZERO wedding photos. I’m a genius. It’s like I WAS NEVER THERE.

Oh, except that I contracted #pbandtunaflu…. so I def was.
96 a!kO October 21, 2009 at 11:12 am: Awww, you guys look happy and adorable! Seems like a lot of fun. I am glad you had a great birthday weekend ^^
97 Michelle October 22, 2009 at 5:50 am: I really had a good time!!! Thanks for giving me an excuse to get out of the house. I drank more than I have in a long time. IT WAS AWESOME!!! I was SUPER tipsy by the time I got home… I owe you guys birthday drinks, so… next time we are in the same vicinity, count on something strong and delicious to come your way! That sounds funny…
