Brent's 21st
Happy 21st Birthday Brent! That's right, Brent is finally 21 (well, as of August 4th). For his birthday, he had a bunch of his friends over to his house for a BBQ. Brent's mom is an amazing cook and spent the whole day preparing a delicious BBQ dinner for all of us and Brent's dad took him out and supplied more alcohol than you can even imagine. We all had a great time and watched Hot Fuzz and 300 (clearly this was a guy party). I had actually already seen both those movies with Brent and they really are pretty good.
Anyway, during the day, I gave Brent his present from me (a Sirius satellite radio) and Brent's parents gave him a very handsome watch and a few books. After spending the day playing golf with his dad, Brent picked out all the alcohol he wanted and then there was nothing left to do but wait for his friends to arrive. When they did, I was a little surprised to have people re-introduce themselves to me (I had met most of them at a poker tournament a couple years ago) with completely different names! I blame this entirely on Brent who tells me people's last names as if they're their first names. For example, Shea and Hanson are actually Matt and Alex. VERY confusing, but I think I have it all straight now. At least I don't just have the worst memory in the world. Anyway, here are the pictures.
Alberto, Billy, Hanson, and Eric in Brent's basement where most of the party was:

Everyone watching TV (I don't think there's any organized way to give names for this one):

Billy and Brent:
While we're talking about Billy... and I don't feel bad about making fun of him because he made fun of The Blonde Excuse, my favorite story about Billy is how I met him. The night I met Billy, he drank 17 beers and rapped something called 2 Skinnee J's on my bed with a tub of Tostitos Queso which he kindly poured on my brand new hand-embroidered duvet cover. It was a fantastic start to our continuing friendship (and I don't even mean that sarcastically, Billy is awesome).
Anyway, here's Me, Brent, Billy, and Brent's dad in the background at the VIP table (aka the overflow table) for only the coolest of cool kids:

I hope he made a good wish!
In the back, Matt, Hanson, and Brendan. In the front, Alex and his friend Alex (Hanson is also an Alex, it gets confusing), and Billy on the right:

That's all! I'm on my way to NYC now!
