A New Stowe

Sunday night, The Sleigh House hosted the residents of the satellite house for an evening of supper, song, and sport, Sleigh Style. The evening began with cocktails and fresh salad, and continued with yummy pizza from a local 'ria. Also on hand was a dessert bar, complete with sundae fixings that were a meal unto themselves.* Below, photographs from the evening...

*Can you tell that I'm actually writing this while listening to Red Carpet Oscar interviews? I'm really full of it.

Mette + MET

Here Mette and I flank Smitha, all bundled up, ready for some Beer Pong action.

White-eyed Missy takes a break from random urination to pose for a pic with friends Natty and Mia.

Weir and Nicole observe Beer Pong from the sidelines.

The members of the two houses came together for the love of the game, participating in an organized Beer Pong competition, complete with brackets and (most importantly) a follow-up Losers' Brigade competition. Here we see Team Camitha (pronounced "come hither") - Cammy and Smitha.



Amanda and Mette, not to be encumbered by unnecessary layers, immediately stripped down to the bare essentials - a move that served them very well, as they advanced impressively far in the tournament. Tourney, as I like to say. Here we see Amanda "bringing it," much to the delight of Joel. Or perhaps Joel is laughing at something else.

Cammy begins to realize that the tank tops are going to be serious competition, and steps up her game...

At this point, the tension began to rise between Alex and Greg, as both knew that only one man's girlfriend would advance to the next round - would their friendship survive?






Oblivious to the palpable tension between Alex and Greg, Amanda and Mette prepare to destroy the competition.




Smitha downs another Solo while Stacy clutches a Poland Spring midgee in terror of the knowledge that her own Beer Pong reputation would soon be on the block.


Regardless of Camitha's efforts, Mettanda emerged victorious.

Mette wants to dip her BALLS in it.

While Stacy prepares for a successful pairing with Evan, Jesse explains the effects of RNA structure on Beer Pong ability to Suhas (seen on the right, in this rare photographic evidence of Su with OPEN EYES!).

Bubbe and Golinko next took the stage, ready to demolish the competition.

2007 Ski Trip: STOWE PART V

Stowe vs. Predator

This weekend, the Welo group (+ friends) went on our 5th Annual ski trip to Stowe, Vermont. Every year our friend Alex gets the same house, which technically sleeps 12, but every year, we push the envelope a little further - this year packing an impressive 23, plus the occasional overnight guest or four. This year there were so many people on the trip that our friend JC got a separate house entirely, and 12 people stayed there. The following series of pictures is from the trip...I have a million pictures, so I'll probably add a few every day...check back later for more!

Here's Golinko on Saturday night after we returned from visiting JC's house. They made us yummy dinner that was delicious, and once we stuffed our faces, we headed home to continue the craziness. Golinko stokes the fire while Mia plays with Weir's dog, Missy, in the background...

Here Joel rizocks the hizouse with his rendition of some Freedom Rock masterpiece...

While Pasky & Smitha get their Pong skills going with a little Ping (their appetizer for the real competition of the weekend: Beer Pong, or, to be more accurate, our version of Beirut).


While we waited for more friends to come back from the JC house, I convinced Joel to sing karaoke duets with me. Our rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart is, shall we say, unique...


Once Pasky and Smitha finished their Ping Pong game, Natty and I subverted all tactics intended to continue the Ping Pong (or as Alex might say, Pink Ponk) tradition, by hijacking the table and throwing down the Beer Pong gauntlet. Here we see Natty declaring all resistance to be futile.


Then, Natty and I set up to face off with Joel and Pasky.


Somehow Alex and Suhas jumped us in line. Or else Natty and I lost. Either way.

Golinko exhibits the standard response to watching Pasky and Joel do pretty much anything...

Natalie attempts to burn a hole in the table with her eyeballs...

While Alex and Suhas exact their fierce Beer Pong vengeance...

Suhas sees the light at the end of the tunnel...

While Pasky and Joel see the beginning of the end...

Meanwhile, Bubbe busts out with karaoke moves...

I'm betting Cathy and Mia will make me delete this picture...but I think it's fun.

This is from my trip to Alcatraz this summer!
