BEERS AND BOOBS


(the rugby team I play on... Duh!)
is hosting a  
#BreastCancer fundraiser 
@AlexandersFells (our team bar)
 this Friday 10/21 from 7-10pm!

This means if you are in Baltimore you should come out and donate/support the cause!

One of our teammates was diagnosed a little while ago, so this fundraiser is specifically for her, but also for those of us who know victims, survivors, or are friends of friends who have come in contact with that Bitch called Breast Cancer.

I hope to see some of you there!!!

Cheers!

WHAT HAPPENS IN PHILLY...

Ends up on my blog :)

Philly ain't Vegas, gurl, get wit it.

Over the weekend the roommates and a friend drove from Baltimore to Philly  (a little under 2 hours--we got stuck in traffic) to celebrate roommate G's birthday! 

We booked a room at the Omni and did what normal 20's somethings do when single and looking for a good time in a strange city:
We ate, drank, laughed, cried (included with the laughing--only good tears), danced and conquered #OldCity Philly.

Hey, what can I say, it's what we do, and we do it well :)


Saturday:


The view from our hotel.


Pizza from Revolution House: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!


Roommate G and I in 'getting ready' mode.
This is her new called ID photo.
That's roommate love.


We go big or go home for birthday's in our house.
Next one is for Roommate M--we're going to the BIG EASY!!!!
And I'm packing a bottle for the ride!


Our friend S came along too!
She was Dolly Parton's assistant for the evening.
Blonde, Big Hair, was the trend for the evening.

Philly wasn't ready for us...


Don't believe me?!


Roommate Love!


You believe me now... I know you do.

Sunday:


In the morning we pulled ourselves out of bed (and off the couch) and wandered into Farmicia.
Once again... HOLY DELICIOUS!
I snagged the menu. I have intentions of recreating the above pictured breakfast and many other items I found appealing. I know you're as excited as I am about this--it's you who gets to see the end result--I (and the roommates) luckily get to enjoy them :)


The plan is to go back to Philly again.
Not anytime soon, but definitely in the next couple of months.
We love Baltimore, but a night of debauchery in a foreign city is always fun ;)
OH! I almost forgot!
I almost met up with fellow blogger Erin of Everything According to Erin (GO CHECK OUT HER BLOG!!!!), but unfortunaley our paths didn't cross!
She did however lead my roomies and I to EXCELLENT bar recommendations AND gave us a heads up on the appropriate Old City/Philly attire!

Thanks girl!!!
Hopefully next time I'm in town we can meet up!!

VIRGIN FREE FEST 2011 RECAP!

Exactly one week ago today was the Virgin Mobile Free Fest!


I was lucky enough to win tickets in the 30 seconds that they SOLD OUT this summer--but next year, if I'm not as lucky I'll spend the $50 bucks for a ticket...

I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

My rugby twin, @nashbash2, was my +1 for the day.


Our day started here...

Then of course went here...


We took a break around here...


And ended the night with one of my favorite bands: Empire of the Sun
(and the headliners: The Black Keys)!!!




(That RT from the band pretty much MADE my day/night/year FYI)


Nash and I had a BLAST!!! She and I RAGED all day and night long.
We danced out asses off!!!

Most definitely going back next year!!!

Now I'll leave you a little bit of Empire of the Sun:


I have to thank my ex for getting me hooked on their music. I credit most of the music I listen to now to his influence. This band definitely holds a soft spot for me for/because of him, but now it makes me glad to listen to them and know that he and I are cool now.
I would even say friends. I think he could say the same.
I like that.
I also think he would agree.
Okay, I'm done now.

Enjoy the music!!!!

WHAT I'M TUNING INTO: "CALIFORNIA SOUL (DIPLO REMIX)" MARLENA SHAW

I finally decided to pay attention to the Fall 2011 Target add on tv today, instead of just muting the commercials. 
GOOD IDEA!
I discovered a new song (technically an old song), that I absolutely DIG!


(I also love the concept of the video--bocce ball!
I really want to try and play, but of course I have to find time...
When I was in Georgia last year it started to get BIG in Atlanta, and I never got a chance to go and check it out :( Hopefully I can talk the roomies into it. I think we'd all have a good time with it!)

With a little internet sleuthing I was able to track down the artist and the remix
(which is what I'm featuring here today).

Check it:




Oh, and if you're in the Brawl-timore area and want to check out a little Bocce Ball yourself check out one of these sites:


and this article, which was pretty cool:
