sara s rib party

Even though Sara told me that I didn't have to bring anything, M told me that I should anyway. I stopped by Bottle King to pick up a 6 pack of Bicardi Silver. I was debating whether I wanted to get the Smirnoff Ice, but favored the Bicardi instead.

I was the first to arrive at Sara's place. I offered my services and help her set up as much as I could. I put out the liquor bottles and rinsed out some shot glasses for later. As the doorbell rang, I would welcome people to Sara's home.

There was so much food. 4 different kinds of ribs, baked beans which were really more like bean flavored meat because it had pieces of slab bacon and beef in it, corn with peas, and cole slaw. All of which was excellent.

7:30 PM EST rolled around, and those that had arrived were already hungry, so Sara opened up the table and let us dig in. It was so good. All you can eat meat and all of it was so tasty. Even the beans, which is already a meaty legume, had meat in it!

After I had a bit of food in me, we started doing some shots. Started with vodka, then moved on to cosmos. I did one with gin. For some reason, none of it was affecting me. Either I ate too much, so the alcohol wasn't getting to me, or my tolerance had gone up.

Phil and I talked about the church budget a bit. Nothing explicit, but he did talk about some new sound equipment. We also talked about the IT budget. They were asking for like $15K for IT stuff. Completely unnecessary.

I was talking to Sara's cousin Chris. He hadn't seen William Hung or the Star Wars Kid. I had a good time catching him up on all the latest internet fads.

Around 10 PM EST, M showed up. She got dropped off by her parents to have some dessert. We had key lime pie, tiramasu, chocolate covered fruit, and red bean soup.

Tony had left earlier with Simone to a prayer meeting. I was waiting for him to get back so we could do shots together. But by the time he showed up, it was around 11 PM EST. We did 1 shot because I didn't want to drink too much and impair my driving. Too bad I wasn't even close to being impared.

Ben came over too and told me about how he got some bad beats in Hold'em with Brian and his frat friends.

We were at Sara's till around 2:25 AM EST. We all had an excellent time.
