Purdue Trip 2011 Year #8 9/15/2011 It’s always something. This year, we neglected to bring a camera, so all of the photos below are from my iPhone. That’s not really a huge deal… but my iPhone camera was partially cracked and so every picture has a weird blurry spot. None the less (or maybe ironically) some of the best photos (and best times) were this year.
Accessibility of mobile has its advantages. This is the never documented journey out.
Game face on the ride to Logan.			I-93
Bob and Terry prepping for the trip. Game face.
A little trick we call “making the flight disappear”
And we’re back! This is the back porch of the condo we rented in Chicago.
Out on the town heading out for dinner.
Historically, I’m underdressed. No exception at this restaurant.
You know it’s fancy when they have frog legs.
Terry has a history of poor food decisions on this trip. We all remember the taco salad incident.
We discuss how last year was a little status-quo. This year was not.
Back out…
Good of place as any...
Change of venue…
This photo was taken right before a young man came up to Terry and asked him if he was a cop. He then stared at Terry for the rest of our stay.
And hell I guess we look a little coppy.
Change of venue again
And one final change of venue… heading back to the Weiner Circle. Bob wonders if his girl will be here.
You remember 2009 when the woman working told Bob she would she would “stamp” his “dick in the dirt”.
Well she’s there.
And she is happy to see Bob. Don’t get your hopes up of making friends. This picture was taken after she called Bob “Retarded O.J. Simpson” Don’t believe me? Well here is the video: VIDEO BONUS
All business in the morning. Back at the Salt & Pepper diner. Prep for the drive south to Purdue.
This photo almost didn’t make the cut because it seems to be just another photo of Oke unimpressed by something. But we were making butt crack jokes.
Heading To Purdue
Chicago		Oke
Indiana	Our room at Hilton
Since we’re at the Hilton this year there is plenty of time to take a stroll around campus.
Nate and I grilling for a party. Oke, Me, Matt dressed up for Halloween on that porch
After the stroll down memory lane… Scotty’s Brewhouse for a couple.
The night is young. Everyone needs a break. Hell when did Goose show up?
I’m stuck with the hot-tub seat.
Back at Harry’s!
This is probably one of the best pictures I’ve ever taken. Too bad it’s on my stupid iPhone.
Oke is Happy.
Goose’s friends come out.
Oke smirking at Goose.
The bartender smirking at Goose.
Bo’ Blaze getting the night on rails.
The empties build.
I look really coppy.
Speaking of cops. It almost looks like this guy is arresting the Goose man.
Triple-XXX late night. If you think the guy on the right of this picture couldn’t get any more Indiana…
Look at the guy in the middle!
Morning arrives. I awake on a couch.
On our way to the tailgate. Nervous laughter because we can not afford to have another tailgate nightmare like last year. This year is already interesting… Goose is driving us. But last year’s blowout weighs heavy on us.
We approach the tailgate area.
And here we are at our tailgate. It seems eerily similar to last year.
But it’s not! Dustin is in town and we’re back with his boys.
Everyone listens intently to Dustin
Bags
This tailgate may not be our best ever. But it’s 100x better than last year.
Terry happy.
Goose and Bob happy.
Oke unimpressed.
Towards the end of the game we head out. Normally, we may shy away from getting a ride home from Goose.
But I mean what could go wrong? Bo’ Blaze is riding shotgun…
…And we end up way out in Lafayette at a bar so hick you could still smoke inside.
But the place is fine… and we have a great time.
Until this guy started talking to his Bart Simpson doll and putting cigarettes in his mouth.
And then bikers show up.
Oke is happy about something.
Could it be the smoking Bart Simpson?
Or maybe it’s because Jeff Oke is officially the GUEST OF THE DAY back at the Hilton!
The guest of the day and the rest of us take a break while we process our day thus far: Tailgate, Hick Bar, Award Ceremony…
And we’re back out at Harry’s.
This dude had a long day. He was still rolling from breakfast club, likely a 6am rise.
Quick snapshot of my initials on the bathroom door.
And the night goes on…
This bartender did not like us.
But these girls did like us and invited us to a party at their friend’s place.
Terry tries to decide if we can handle a college party.
Yes we can. The party was pretty bunk.
But I got my dance on anyway.
And made new friends. Per usual… Saturday night ends abruptly.
And the next day… a little worse for the wear… we head out.
Overcast with 100% chance of a hangover.
