Pub Crawl Roundup

2006-04-29T14:48:00.000-04:00

Well all the reciepts have come in and we raised $175 for charity for the NH Food Bank! Thanks so much to everyone that came out. I had a great time (I think) and we are looking to do this again!

In the next few months pay attention for info for the next pub-crawl. Bigger better and less sobriety! Possible ideas include:

Chug for the Children
Partying for Pandas
Booze for Babies

I will also be sending out a letter to the Union Leader, the Hippo Press and other local papers thanking the bars that helped us out.

In case you forgot, mad props to:
Jillian's
J.W. Hills
The Strangebrew Tavern
Fed Ex Kinkos
The Wild Irish Rover
and even though McGarveys didnt give us a special price, they already have wicked cheap beer that helped us raise loot!

I kind of maybe broke my camera at some point on the crawl or else I would have some pics for yall. But Im going to get it fixed/get a new one so Ill get some pics up soon!

Love,
Viva

Mikey Is Smooth

2006-04-22T11:51:00.000-04:00

Ok,
So Mikey was hating in the last comments that I only make fun of other people and not myself. Blatantly untrue, but just to drive his point home, Here is a great call from Mikey to his XXXXXXX!

NOTE: Like everything else on VivaManchVegas.com this is NOT Family Appropriate.

With No further ado Mikey's 2AM Call to Shelly!

Additionally, for those of you out of Manchester, Mount Unkanoonick or whatever are some mountains outside of town here. I think by that he means "boobs" but I could be wrong. You never know with mikey!

NOTE: Nevermind! The origionally Hilarity is now Mikey Approved!!!

Test!

2006-04-17T10:52:00.000-04:00

Working on some new programs, this is a test pic of mikey and cross after they exchanged clothes with brooke and nicki!

The Internet

2006-04-11T20:03:00.000-04:00

Is anyone else paying attention to You Tube?

Is it just me or is it turning into the sketchiest 16+ Nightclub in the world. Seriously! Someone should call the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Come on!

A quick look at the "Most Viewed" videos on YouTube reveals, shockingly, all the sketchy guys that lurk on the internet like to watch young hot girls do anything!

Want to see a HUG dance badly? Here!

How about HUGs in the bathroom? Here!

What is this? I mean Im not complaining, but the mall is going to go out of business if guys dont have to go there anymore to check out HUGs. Im just sayin.

Dear Jamie Cullum,
I have tried so hard to like you. The idea of your smooth jazz/funk versions of great songs seems like such a good idea right now. But in the end, you end up making me feel like im listening to the bastard (and biologically impossible) child of Harry Conick Jr. and Pee Wee Herman.

Viva.

(PS I got tired of the Mikey GF Shenanagins.)

Help with the Pub Crawl!

2006-03-30T13:42:00.000-05:00

Hey guys, I need a little help from you schmos.

As some of you may know, we may or may not be having a certain pub crawl to help us drink beer (read: help people). I need help with:

Before:
Postering - I have the posters made. I can give you posters to hang up at cool places!

Talk it up - Tell your friends (if they are worth talking to), the people you are arresting for public drunkedness (fleming), or your many many many girlfriends (mikey).

During:
Check In - I need someone responsible to help out at the check-in table to collect money and hand out tickets for drinks (note: mikey, this is a great place to meet womens!)

Ok so thats all I think I need help with. The more people you guys promote it to the more people we will be able to help (both party and eat so its a win win!)

Remember, the date is April 22nd!

Hanging out with Mikey

2006-03-03T17:32:00.000-05:00

Just in case you have never chilled with Mikey, this is how I expect my night to go tonight:

5PM - Mikey gets out of work.
9PM - Mikey wakes up from his nap.
9:10PM - While on the pooper Mikey realize he is hungry.
9:11PM - Mikey does something that takes forever.
11PM - Mikey finishes eating pizza.
11:01PM - Mikey starts playing beruit with random gross chicks he met in the past week.
12PM - Drunk Mikey goes to the bar and makes out with his mom's friends.
12:30PM - Mikey invites me into the bathroom for a peeing contest.
1AM - Mikey confesses to Brooke that he loves her, and that She probably doesnt know what his "rear differential" is.
2AM - Mikey poops again. But this time opens his phone and starts calling ex-girlfriends and co-workers, very often confusing the two. Sample conversations

Mikey: I cant come on Monday till about 10AM.
Mikeys Ex-GF: Pssht, Id give you about 3 seconds pinky weiner.

or

Mikey: I love your boobs.
Mikey's boss's secretary's husband: Im going to kill you!

3AM - Mikey passes out. Meanwhile.......
4AM - Cross comes into mikeys room and does one of mikeys old gfs in his bed with mikey there asleep.
8AM - Mikey wakes up with one ex-gf in his bed, one knocking on his door, and another one calling him.

Its always an adventure!

1. Pub Crawl. Mark your Calendars for April 22nd! The return of Pub Crawls to Manchester, NH. We promise a scenic tour through all the beer serving establishments of our fine city, all to benefit charity. We are still working out the details with the charity, and will officially announce the name, sponsorships and more in the coming weeks.

Sorry all for the Hiatus. Its been tough being Viva.

Wine party was a sucess (as well as we remember, ill be changing the icon tonight i think).

Camera was stolen. Im wicked pissed and still trying to figure out what to do. Im 99.999% sure I know who stole it.

More later.

The pub crawl is going to be awesome!

Alcohol Appreciation Month

2005-11-18T16:13:00.000-05:00

With the overwhelming success of FtheB2005, we are proud to announce:

December is Alcohol Appreciation Month

FAQ:

Q: Why December?
A: Why not? This is the month where more people make asses out of themselves in front of co-workers and at holiday parties than any other! New Years eve always makes for a good time to learn about alcohols effects on womens libidos. (It also, may or may not have something to do with the fact that I came up with this idea right before December)

Q: How do we celebrate?
A: You, my friend, are an idiot.

Q: Will there be any festivities?
A: You bet your ass! There will be a great party at Carey's and at some other places along the way! We will also be planning the:

Stumble to Stomp Out Hunger Pub Crawl 2006!

Ive had enough of my friends in Boston going on pub crawl after pub crawl, while I sit in New Hampshire sitting at the same damn bar all night. Its time we elevate out game. Its time we make this city know that we are socially aware drinkers! Its time we stand up and be counted (before we fall over in a drunken stupor)!

Sometime in January or February we will be throwing a pub crawl through Manchester to raise money for the New Hampshire Food Bank!

Here is the FAQ:

Q: Stumble to Stomp Out Hunger... What?
A: Yes. We will be raising money through drinking copious amounts of alcohol and having a great time.

Q: What is a pub crawl?
A: Its when a bunch of people get together and pay a fee to go from bar to bar all together and have beers at a few different places all over the city!

Q: What if it snows?
A: You live in New Hampshire. You shouldnt be afraid of the snow.

Q: Wait, isnt this a FAQ inside of another FAQ?
A: Ummm... yeah, good point. Just play along.

Anyways, Im def going to need some help with this. So if you want to help toss me an email at tedwalkerband @ hotmail dot com.

Also, like an idiot, I left my camera in Boston so Ill have pics from the last two weeks sometime after this weekend.

One love!

Doing Girls - The Soundtrack

2005-11-03T17:57:00.000-05:00

The other month I had the opportunity to take an amazing girl to bed. And not one of those get her drunk, toss game at her and see how far she will let you go. This girl was cool and chill and confident, and was not subtle in her approach to going to my room.

So we get to my room, and theres none of the "So you wanna watch a movie?" crap. She hops into my bed laughs that the lights are still on and invites me in. But before she does she asks me:

"Hey, I know you love music, why dont you put something on?"

Wham. Frozen in my tracks. Now dont get me wrong, I've hooked up to music before, but never with a direct request to DJ. Totally caught off guard.

So my mind starts running through my music collection (over 20,000 songs and 40gigs). I start freaking out. I try not to hide my panic as she is in my bed waiting in anticipation for my music choice (and hopefully something else too...)

Anyways, I blew it. I mean, she didnt say anything and the rest of the night went great, but my choice was wrong. So this got me to thinking. Theres a time and a place for all music, but there are special times for some music, for some girls and some situations. So I decided I would collect my thoughts here and share them with you in case you ever (hopefully) find yourself in the same situation. Im now prooud to give you:

The Official VivaManchVegas Guide to HookUp Music

The Rules:
1. All music must be by album - There is nothing tackier than having a HookUp mix, especially if it progresses to some fevered pitch or other fruity crap like that. I havent read about it in cosmo (come on you read it too), but if you do have some mix you think she'll think is random, I gaurantee girls are making fun of you behind your back.

2. Nothing Cliche - Barry White, while acceptable with your long term GF as you act out your "Shaft" fantasy (keep dreaming bro), is not acceptable for a girl whos name you are trying to remember.

3. No Dave Matthews - You arent in college anymore. If you havent seen 30 sets of boobs while listening to "Under the Table and Dreaming" you missed your chance. Sorry. (exception: if you are hooking up with dumb college chicks).

4. Nothing Uber Popular - The LAST thing you want to do is put on her exboyfriends favorite CD. Youve probably already spent all night hearing about what a ____ he is. DONT share your bedtime.

Now on to the tunes!

Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlantisicm - While I really really really hate the name of this band (I actually boycotted them for 2 years I hate it so much), either she wont know what band it is, or if she knows she probably wont hold it against you. This is perfect for going back to your place after the party. Great for its ups and downs and overall mood of romance but not love.

Interpol - Antics - If she's got a touch of crazy, the slow droning of the opening song will def set up your game well. Once the rest of the CD kicks in, the steady hammering of the band coupled with Paul Banks' deep voice creates a dark picture perfect for the self-conscious imperfect girl.

Thievery Corportation - Richest Man in Babylon - Definetly the most blatantly porn music on my list, but if you have a decent stereo, the hokieness will be lost in hotness. Any mix from these guys is good, but this one is great. This is perfect for semi-cultured girls.

The Notwist - Neon Golden - For girls that wear black, have black glasses, black hair and light skin. Melencholly and beautiful this is another disk that takes its time and gives you added sensitive cred with enough of a beat to get freaky.

John Scofield - A Go Go - Im not sure if I just really like this album for its simple production and straightforward approach, or because it is subtly sexual. Regardless, if she is still around in the morning and you are gonna make another run at it, show some class with this funky jazz.

Radiohead - Kid A - If its 5 in the morning and you havent realized the sun is coming up and you are still going strong. Take these this to bed with you. Nothing good happens after 3AM, except for sex to radiohead... Thats great.

Dangermouse/JayZ/The Beatles - The Gray Album - If you've been out at the club all night and want some hip hop, but feel awkward about bedding someone to "BITCHES!" "HOES!" "TRICKS!" (cross somehow has no problem with this...) but dont want to lose the progress you made grinding all night, this classy tale of struggle laced with classic grooves is untouchable.

Well there you have it. This list by no mean tries to cover all possible good choices, but will hopefully get you thinking so if you are ever in this situation you at least have some idea of where to or what road to go down. Good game to you and yours!

Fuck the Bar Month 2005!

2005-10-12T13:16:00.000-04:00

Join us for the first annual "Fuck the Bar Month"!!!

Sick of spending too much money at the bar? Met every sleazy girl in manchester? Tired of waking up in the morning smelling like you were living in Fidel Castro's mouth? Then Fuck the Bar Month is for you!

FAQ:

Q: What is "Fuck the Bar Month?"
A: A month of house parties, park parties and other assorted parties that dont happen at the bar!

Q: What about meeting girls?
A: Good point. We are working on this small detail right now and will answer soonly.

Q: What if I want to go to the bar?
A: Remain strong. Yes the bar has given us some great memories, but it mostly gives us empty wallets and full bladders.

Q: Should I sweet talk the bar at all first?
A: Yes, but during the actual month, no caressing or heavy petting... just good old fashioned humping (Nothing that could be mistaken for love-making).

Q: Is the bar old enough?
A: In canada.

Q: Are there any exceptions?
A: Yes. The bar is officially on limits on Tuesday nights at Strangebrew. Other than that, Fuck the Bar!

Q: Is there a ribbon or anything for this cause?
A: I do have a few DrinkStrong Bracelets. Post if you want one.

Q: Should I wear a condom?
A: If it has anything to do with Cross: Yes.

Halloween Party is Cancelled!

2005-10-06T09:53:00.000-04:00

Stupid work and plans and other parties!

Give that there is already going to be one big rager in Candia (Jim's) and another in Dover (Evan's) and both of these are annual events that would be going on the same night we have decided to cancel the party. (It also didnt help I am going to be out of town the entire week beore and only get home that morning) But alas! Everyone is invited to these other parties, let me know if you want directions etc.

But soon we will have a date for our Christmas party! With eggnog, mistletoe belt-buckles and maybe even a midget!

Halloween Party!

2005-09-19T18:14:00.000-04:00

Thats right!

Halloween Party at my place (Smitty's too). Shoot me an Email or Call me for directions. Everyone is invited.

The only rule other than costumes: No Stilletto Heels. As much as we all love them the newly refinished hardwood pine gets spiked by them. So if you are dressing up as a stripper (encouraged! (no not you mikey)) wear block heels, not stilletos!

See you there!

(Sorry about the image being on top, but it wouldnt fit in the body of the blog!)

Problems at the Bar Part 2.

2005-09-16T10:56:00.000-04:00

So we went to Al-Stock.

Al got married so we went. We had a great time. We met some sexy ladies, we had some stuff to drink. Did I say we had a lot to drink? Oh wait, I forgot to mention Seth got me in to a VIP open bar thing at an airshow and since he couldnt drink (he was working) wanted to make sure I drank his due as well.

Ok well I was boozed. Bring in Josh "I chug beers at the bar" Smitty. We go to margaritas and drink 4 Large beers in an hour. Then we head out to the brimmer. I met a sexy girl from montreal. She would not take me home with her. Ill play it off to the fact her brother was right there...

Anyways, this is where things start getting hazy.

Somewhere around last call, we start to head home. Seth tells me after the fact I told him how bad I had to go to the bathroom. I dont remember this.

Next thing I remember I walk in the door to the apartment and Smitty and Seth are laughing wicked wicked hard. Ummmm???

"OMFG DUDE! YOU PISSED YOURSELF!!!" "HAHAHAHA"

I look down and notice this:

Hmmmm... I dont remember pissing myself. I remember walking home, I remember being at home, but....

So they keep laughing and smitty gets his camera. And takes these shots:

I just sit down and have a beer.

Later that night I took off my pants and they didnt smell like pee. I dont think it was pee. I think I spilled booze on myself at the bar. Ive never done either of the things we think it could be before.

Seth offered this explanation: maybe you had to go really bad, and like pulled it out, but started a little early.

I offer this explanation: I didnt piss myself.

But on the bright site, Mikey calls me the next morning and files this report.

Yo E Its Mikey!

Dude What are you doing? Yeah Im just in bed.

Yeah I know its 2PM.

Wow, it smells like piss in my room.

OH MAN!

Holy shit did I really do that?

OMG Sted, I was wasted last night and saw a shirt on my floor and I pissed on the shirt figuring it would soak up the piss! HAHAH! I mean, youd just clean it up with a towel anyway right? So whynot piss on the shirt?

So if I did tinkle myself, I am in good company.

BTW Cross is in the club too, but its never funny and its relatively frequent.

Old Pics Redux

2005-09-12T20:34:00.000-04:00

Mikey has had enough of me not having a camera. So instead of doing what a normal person would do and buying me a camera, he took the pics of the fridge and scanned them in.

haha.

Cross and Nicki Trading shirts...

Mikey and Brooke get in on the action!

The next day cross couldnt figure out why his hands were green...

The gayest high 5 in the world

Wait, apparently there was some weird posing competition...

Mikey and I dancing...

Cross and Mikey going to play ball.

This is from mikeys birthday. He looks like 70 in this pic.

Problems at the Bar Part 1.

2005-09-12T14:56:00.000-04:00

Ryan was having a little problem with staying awake at the bar last week.

Im not sure if we werent entertaining enough or if he just had partied too hard, but here he is being very unpirate like.

Some people have pointed out that I dont really make fun of myself enough on the site... well baloney Im just not as crazy as you people AND im usually the one holding the camera.

Well dont worry, as soon as I get the pics from Smitty, one of the worst pics in Viva history will be coming online of yours truly!

Enjoy!

So Im at the DMV

2005-09-08T19:04:00.000-04:00

The DMV is where all the dregs (sp?) to society hang out. You know what I mean.

Its where the out of work strippers go on their day off, where the local female weightlifters spend their freetime. Well today was no exception. But besides the usual bearded woman their was a bit of unexpected humor.

So I go in to get my pic taken for a new liscense and on the wall is the next weeks work schedule. It read as follows.

Mary 9-4 m-w
Helga 11-2 m,w,th
Dick's out all week.

Hahahahahaha.

Dont Worry

My friends suck.

Why do they suck? Because they are lame? no. Because they never go out and party? no. Because they are fat and ugly and scare girls away? no. They are none of those things. But Ill tell you what they are:

They are a bunch of Morons who cant get a goddam camera!

Last weekend cross boned a stripper and what do we get out of it? Nothing. A story? Come on! He didnt even have to pay.

Lame lame lame.

Mikey Goes Down!

2005-08-12T10:33:00.000-04:00

MANCHESTER NH (Associate Press) - In the ongoing saga of Mikey Vs. Eddie score the mother of all races for the E Money.

After making a bet 6 months ago of "Twenty bucks and all the pride in the world" young Mike "I-dont-have-a-girlfriend" Young arrived at the starting line with a plan to duel heavily favored Eddie "Mikeys-not-in-the-not-have-a-girlfriend-club-anymore" Alen to the death or the finish, whichever came first.

Weather was as warm as Nicki's ass after sitting on an un-airconditioned bus in africa for 9 hours with temps in the mid 30s (celcius). No wind and exceptional humidy again shifted the odds even more in favor of Eddie, a voratious, tenatious and loquacious competitor and ex-roomate.

Over four-thousand people came to watch the race first hand, and actually run it with the competitors with another grand watching from the side streets. WMUR was on hand to document the start on live TV for all those watching at home.

What viewers on TV didnt see was the virtual guyser of excuses Mikey started to throw out on the starting line.

"I have to pee."
"My leg hurts."
"Im going to be wieghed down by the ring im carrying in my pocket to give to Erin."

Eddie was a true sportsman and reminded mikey to be glad he didnt take the revised bet offered in June when victory was almost certainly assured due to Mikeys penchant for cuddle time over traning: drop the $20 bet and switch it to loser gets their belly button peirced.

Example:

Before Mikey could respond the gun sounded and the race was off! Eddie went out like a bat out of hell, hoping to take the less experinced but full of hubris Mikey with him. The plan worked and after a 6:20-6:25 first mile victory was all but assured for Eddie as Mikey was reduced to letting hot girls pass him for the rest of the race.

But little did Mikey know Eddie was having problems of his own.

Plauged by over training and still sore from some sleepless nights with randoms, Eddie dropped major pace from his planned sub 20, to 7 minute miles. "I felt like my legs were made of broken glass. Then run over. Then set on fire. Then put through a meat grinder. Defeat was assured, and to make matters worse, I missed the 2 mile mark. This made me think i had dropped pace somewhere into the 8s which even that fat slob Mikey could run."

Mikey also played a dastardly mind trick in an effort to assuage his underdog status. "He wore the exact same shirt as everyone else! I thought that everyone that passed me was him!" This kept Eddie motivated enough to actually hammer down an average mile time of 6:47.

Mikey in the meantime was having problems of his own. "I knew after the first mile I'd been hoodwinked and boonswaggled. So I decided if I was going to pay $20 [editors note: AND ALL THE PRIDE IN THE WORLD] I might as well sit back and enjoy the scenery... the only problem was I couldnt keep up! Sports bras and pony tails just kept running by and I couldnt keep up. I cant even tell you the ba-donk-a-donk I let get away."

As Eddie made the final turn he was confident, but still hesitant in declaring victory. "There were so many people with that damn shirt on!" state a mouth frothing Eddie moments after he crossed the finish line. "I cant imagine that schmo kept up, but so many people have that damn shirt on!" But victory was assured when he finally spotted a tired and near death Mikey limping around the finishers area.

"We were folling him out of interest for his health" State Genine Smith, EMT for Granite State EMT services. "He looked as if he had just ran a marathon... fast. I mean its hot out here, but this guy looked like he was inches from taking the great gravy boat to the sky if you know what I mean."

Eddie on the other hand was busy asking girls if they wanted "His number" then handing them the lucky #930 (his jersey #). "I actually shamlessly stole this trick from Kevin Thibideau, but he's got no game anyways, so I figured none of the cute girls had ever heard it before." The rouse was a bust for Eddie as well though with most girls responding with a definitive "No." before the bib could even be whipped out.

In the end the two friends met up and Mikey quickly fessed up (between coughing fits) that he had "been beaten. badly" in a weak wheezy voice. Eddie told him to fork over the money and Mikey stated he needed to go the ATM.

(This reminded Eddie of the time Mikey admitted to doing ATM, but actually having a flawed definition of the actual act. Cross and Eddie laughed about that one for a long long long time.)

The two went to the bar with some other friends instead of the cash machine and enjoyed a nice evening together.

Mikey did throw out no sign of a rematch in the making but did offer to wrestle. Eddie quickly replied "Well maybe youll be in a different weight class now you sally, now that I own your sack!!!"

Final official times:
Eddie 21:04 Pace: 6:47
Mikey 23:24 Pace: 7:32

Still no Camera

2005-08-06T09:16:00.000-04:00

Boo on me for no camera.

But.

Theres still tons of partying going on in vegas (or as some like to call it Mikechester):

1. Shout out to Chrystal Brennan (I hope thats how you spell it. If it isnt, give me a break its 9:24AM and im still drunk)

2. Last night cross was trying to bone this girl and her friend asked me if Cross (!!!) was a "player". My response: "A nice guy meets a girl he likes and all of a sudden hes a player? You girls need to stop being so defensive." If you cant convert on a recco like that buddy youve got problems.

3. Last weekend there was one of those speed traps in the road that has the big sign and your blinking speed... well it just happened to be directly between my apartment and the bar we were returning from. If you wondered: they can pick up people. After about 30 solid minutes of sprinting none of us can get over 17mph (thats ryan and I). I figure we were also running about 1mpg (of beer). Smitty ran a solid 15mph. A girl in sandals came by and gave it a try and peaked at 12mph. Luke was too cool to try.

4. Billy Jean is not my lover, shes just a girl who thinks that I am the one.

5. About a month after this site started getting big someone came out with shirts that basically look just like our logo without the ".com". Since then people have been getting in touch with me to see if I would carry them and sell them on the site. Im not down with that kind of capitalism just yet. If you want one, email me and we can figure something out.

6. I didnt realize it but everyone doesnt know how to play Ace of Hearts. Here's a quick description of how to play.

Take a standard deck of cards, a full beer and your players.

Sit in a circle.

Place the cards and beer in the center of the circle and mix the cards all up.

Every player (or playa) takes turns pulling cards until someone picks the ace of hearts.

Person with the Ace of Hearts gets to drink the beer! (ok well has to drink the beer but you know what I mean) (also, this person is refered to as the winner not the loser of the game).

8. Girls are so hot.

Ok I think thats all the official business for now. Does someone want to lend me their camera in the meantime? At least mine went down in a blase of glory!

Viva Out.

Banner Weekend.

2005-07-25T19:09:00.000-04:00

So good that the camera has been lost to the great gods of butterscotch pudding wrestling.

No really.

Anyways I cant get into specific details but after winning 5 games of beruit in a row, taking 5 shots and seeing boobs all before noon on saturday the evening ended 16 hours later with me getting so excited to wrestle a hot girl who promised BJs to any guy that beat her (booo) I forgot to take the camera out of my pocket.

Im now taking donations for a new camera via paypal @ sales@edwardaten.com . Help a brother out? How much is this site worth to you?

Ted Strikes Again!

2005-07-19T11:24:00.000-04:00

Some of you may know about Ted, one of my alter egos.

Ted takes pleasure in complaining about rediculous things to companies.

Here's the one I sent out today:

Hello,
I just ate one of your stringsters and I have found a sexist comment in one of your answers.

The question is "How did the chicken keep the beat" and the answer is "With his drumsticks".

This is not congruent with the standard american english usage of Rooster denoting a male and chicken meaning female.

I normally would reserve such trivial matters to personal tirades to friends and family, but I feel since string cheese is primarily marketed to children we cannot have our youth indoctrinated with such subliminal misogyny.

If perhaps this chicken has a gender issue (as sex is separate from gender) this should be explained. Society should be tolerant and accepting of all peoples, but there are no documented cases of animal gender/sex issues.

I again emphisize, I am not one to usually take issue, but given the nature of the intended audience of this riddle I believe it is important to proceed with great care to all members of society.

I urge you to take all steps necessary to prevent this from happening again.

Thank you,
Ted

Good luck ted!

Ill let you all know how this goes.

Official Beer of VivaManchVegas.com

Drink Up!!!
PBR Summer, Drink of champions, lovers, and guys pretending theyve got game!

Less Thinking/More Drinking

2005-07-13T12:28:00.000-04:00

So we went out a little bit ago and I decided I was going to get all artistick with the camera and take awesome long exposure shots. This is what I ended up with:

Mikey, showing why he owns the city.

Cross, showing what he looks like when he isnt humping his dad and making him crash the brand new boat into the dock on the 4th of July.

Myself, after youve taken way to many drugs.

So throughout this whole thing I'm doing what any moron would do, using my full pint glass of beer as a tripod. Can anyone guess what the next picture is?

Here is a delayed exposure picture from inside a full pint glass of beer on Jillian's Deck.

So a few days later we went out and raged. I came home at 2AM expecting everyone to be asleep... nope!

Lisa and I

Erin, celebrating victory after finding Mikey's "DVD Collection" (BTW I was the only one that actually understood what she meant by that, and had to explain to Mikey he was busted).

Mikey, showing Nicki how he used to pay his bills in his HS days

Theres some other great video from this night, but I have to figure out how to get it off my camera.

So then the next night we raged in portsmouth with Neef and Sam:

Lisa is from the "NORTH SIDE!!!"

Neef and Sam Maxin and Relaxin

Sat after we moved me into the new place we had a great night.

Neef, showing us the finer points of the South Beach Diet

Ryan and Seth elbow fighting to the death on my entry way step.

Girls were there. Rumor is they have boobs!

Seth and I showing the ladies our game.

Ed is thinking: Stella and Jack... a match made in heaven.
Neef is thinking: Oh look, theres a mirror over there.
Seth is thinking: Pose for a pic or take a shot? Get your priorities straight fellas!
Evan is thinking: Wow, these girls look really old after teaching HUGs about Lolita for 3 weeks.
Ryan at this point hasnt realized I bought a shot for him too.

Xander avec Lisa

the Domes of Appleton Street!

Jason Greenblatt pimp extrodinairre made a classic, late to arrive early to leave appearance.

Shining Happy People

I really really really wish I knew what I was saying here.

Nice Shot

Im a retired Pirate

On Sunday we went to a sick RB Party in Loudon with Seth and a kickass Biker bar!

You have to take a pic when the DD is DF (Designated Driver and Double Fisting respectively).

Jeremy won his way on to the site with this sick shirt. On the Left is Harry, seths sister.

After that we went to the Derryfield Deck, but no pics survive.

After that we went to the Deck at Jillians, heres what made it.

Cross' second pimp pick on the Jill's deck this post!

The Lovebirds.

Lets take a shot to Canada Eh?!

She is sackier than I am.
C-Eh-N-Eh-D-Eh

Oh man, then we went out last night.

Nothing that rediculous...

...except for this girl and Mikey.

Shes a fan of Vivamanchvegas.com and wanted to get on the site.

So we told her to do something cool. This is what she came up with:

to which mikey responded

Now for me the comedy is here. Mikey is looking way, probably because he knows Erin is going to see this site... but what he doesnt realize is that even though the kid was legit all night, for some reason he has his arm around the girl! WTF mate?!

She does it a few more times:

I told her she should go to the site and see our standards and maybe try again sometime.

I feel a little like Larry Flint (except I can walk).

Alright thats all I got.

Until next time:
keep your beers full,
game on,
and ladies at a safe emotional distance.

:)

Noah Comes to Town!

2005-07-07T11:05:00.000-04:00

Noah was in town last week. He's ripping up law school at Tulane.

We missed him so we all gave him the finger!

Viva!

2005-07-05T12:23:00.000-04:00

Its about damn time!

Rock is the Best Hangover Cure!

2005-06-25T11:35:00.000-04:00

Rock happens.

Nicki's Birthday.

I spilled beer on my self (gratuitous crotch shot!)

Mikey, Nicki, Myself

Father of The Year Award goes to this kids Dad! (I wonder how long until he teaches him the shocker)

Ellie and Nicki Drinking Beer out of Straws

Since the little guy knew the international sign for metal, I gave him the fly ball that i caught.

Mikey is so F*cking Smooth. Jesus. Look out Geraldo.

Nicki has a strange # in her phone and this picture is the only memory she has of this fellow.

Nicki after servicing some smurfs (apparently)

Nicki was getting pie faced so we decided it was time to take her home... Sorry Dude!

So details of what happened next are in debate. But I will present these picture in the order they were on my camera.

Nicki, throwing up in the appropriate bucket.

Now, AFTER her booting, Mikey gets his game on with Nicki!

A little lower...

Nicki the next morning... Still Drunk.

Ok so then a few days later we went to Drrty Drrty Dover.

Neefus with another awesome shirt

Some dude left his Checkbook out. Now he has a check made out to "Check Yourself" and signed by "Before you Wreck Yourself" for $1million.

I dont know who she is, but this girl is cool. Wicked cool.

Have you ever been to a bad party with sombrero's? I dont think so.

Everyone Hitting on Alex's Girlfriend.

Seth was cropped to better bring out these hot chili decorations. This is high art.

Boyfriends are good for: Money, Cars, carrying you home if you are totally passed out on the floor of the random apartment next door to the actual apartment where the party is.

Dover has a jungle.

After this we went to the bar, and there Seth entered me into a Little John "Yeah!" impersonation contest. I lost. Badly. Im better with "Skeet! Skeet! Skeet!" The life lesson from this: Dont get into Little John impersonation contests in Dover. You will lost every time.

Now we have come to the famous Mohan section of the post.

Mohan is the man. He eats pancakes with his fingers and passes out on speakers blaring 70s rock.

Going...

Going...

Gone.

A kicked keg held be Evan the Great

Seth with his Wake Up call... Double RB over water venti!

Last Night we went to fratellos and drank Espresso Martini's from a hot waitress with her collar popped.

Out to portland tonight... then reggae cruise on sunday. Call if you want to join.

Back to Vegas!

2005-06-13T16:34:00.000-04:00

So I went to St. Louis and Seattle. It was pretty dope. I can post pics if yall want, but the night I got back I went to Cross' Party. Here's the run down:

Mike and Nicki Love eachother.

Bob Played Beruit with some ladies.

Mikey Humped Murph's Lady (Cause Murph is far away)

I played (and won many games of) beruit.

These two in particular lost to Mikey and I.

They lost too (but were more unhappy about it).

Mikey Kept on Pimping.

Bob lost his sack (it is still missing).

Then the Real Fun Began!!!

Some ladies from Carabbas showed up and I guess wanted some desert....

"Ohh that looks tasty... maybe I should try some"

Step 1. Pull down shirt (for someone else of course!)

Step 2. Apply Whipped Cream!

Step 3. Find a Hot Teenager to Lick it off!

Make sure to clean your "plate"!

This is the Girl that started the whole thing. I dont know why this guy let her do this to him but hey whatever.

Come and Get it!

Melts in your mouth...

Just when hogan felt left out...

Along came mikey!

(Authors note: Mikey didnt actually do this. But it would be a lot funnier if he had!)

This is an adult version of the guess your wieght/age thing at fairs. "Guess the cup size - Stevie Wonder version!"

Expos fans have all the fun

Arent we a little old for whipp-it's?

This was all apparently too much fun for Ryan, who called his wife to get the heck out of dodge!

Jim Hit on Mikey's Ex without Shame!

Hey Wait! I still have all the whipped cream on my head! Arent you going to lick it off?

There are 4 people in this bed.

None of them got any loving (at least from eachother).

In other news, mikey lost his sandal near a lake that turned out to be a football field and protected himself against bums in the park with a sharpened stick. Funny, seeing as how I would figure people in the park should be protecting their bums from your stick PoopDaddy!

Just another Night in ManchVegas!

This Weekend

2005-06-10T09:30:00.000-04:00

Friday - Flying back to the East Coast. If you konw of something going on, post it here.

Sat - I have baseball games all day, but if im not mistaken the party starts early at Cross'.

Sunday - Who knows.

Ozomatli FYI

2005-06-08T11:59:00.000-04:00

Even thought Im not in NH, the party doesnt stop.

This from Storm Trooper Rodney Marable:

Hello and happy Wednesday.

I'm still recovering from last weekend but I wanted to let you know that
Ozomatli is playing tonight at the Paradise starting at 8PM.

If you're still up for something to do after the show, I recommend hitting
the Enormous Room where Slade Anderson will be joining Brynmore for a night
of dub, lovers rock, dancehall, roots, and all things reggae. You could also
cross the street and hit the Pheonix Landing (I do not recall who is playing
tonight but I'm sure it'll be tasty).

Alternatively, you could work late, spend a quiet evening at home, and get
a good night's rest, but some people might call you soft.

Love and happiness,

Rodney Marable

Brynmore is an awesome DJ. So is Rodney. We will be down to see both of them soon.

Peace!
E

I'd Wager That...

2005-06-06T01:11:00.000-04:00

So Im in seattle. Im a little removed from NH. Ive talked to Seth twice, and Ryan once. Other than that I havent talked to anyone, but Id be willing to take the following bets:

1. Mikey Spent all Weekend with his Girlfriend.

2. Nicki got drunk 1 of the 2 nights, but this weekend did not play naked beruit.

3. Brooke went to bed early one night.

4. Cross pissed himself at least once. (probably on our couch)

5. Seth and Ryan were drunk 2 for 2, and played golf (ok I cheated on this one).

6. Jim did not park his car in manchester for more than 4 hours total this weekend.

7. Janelle did something with someones nose.

8. Jay has a new daughter.

9. Smitty did something sketchy we wont find out about for another 2 or 3 years.

10. I was in Seattle.

Ok so I also cheated on the last one.

Lets see how I did. Post comments and let me know.

PS... Dont lie, the others will hold you accountable.

Peace,
E

What we lack in moderation, we make up for in consistency.

2005-06-01T09:21:00.000-04:00

Oh man.

What a weekend.

Thursday we went to a party in Portsmouth at the Gas Light Upstairs. Some DJs, some dancing, some very attractive ladies!

Three Studs

She Smells Irish Spring Fresh!

B Boys

Late night we all went back to lennys room. He was wasted. I ran around and got food for us. We drank 3 minibars. We found out later seths employer wont pay for the minibar. Sorry bout that!

Sam and Janelle

Mike is so Metal

Lenny telling secrets (and my bad resizing)

Remeber this picture. It will be discussed again later

So that was thursday.

I called in friday to go surfing. So I went surfing. It was awesome, big clean and overhead (if you are short like I am).

Heres my car with the board. How sexy is that!

That night was Nyki's 25th birthday at element in manchester and the crew showed up and represented!

The taxi wouldnt come, so neefus put on a dance show!

Neef had a pimp Rocawear shirt. He Rocawore it two nights in a row. Hot.

Thong Competition in manch

More Thongs

During the competition someone put on a motorcycle video in the other room. Ryan was wasted and totally enthralled. He missed the competition.

Ladies from the front

We went back to Ryan and Nyki's after the party was over. Cross was in attendance, Mikey was MIA. Hey Nyki which side of manch do you live on?

This girl has a tatoo on her belly to remind herself to not get pregnant. WHAT?!?!

Beginner Drinking...

Advanced Drinking

I am accused of starting the ballsacking but I dont think it was me. Regardless Neef was the first hit:

Seth was next

We slept at some point after this.

Sat we chilled around vegas to get ready for the cocktail that night.

Neef and I stole seths truck and went and drank beers in it. Turns out seth was pissed he wasnt invited. Sorry dude. Here's a pic to rub it in.

Then we played bee at St. A's. Suns out = Guns out.

Then we had a wine cocktail at my place. So classy. We all had hot outfits. We drank 18 bottles of wine. Every guy at the place hit on Bence's date. Bence is a sport.

Seth rockin out.

MVP of the night Evan and I high-five brooke. Wow She is soooo happy.

Erin + Placenta = GROSS PICTURE!

Mike and "The Wife"

Classy fellows

A portrait of me... Faux-Hawk and all!

So the next night we went to portland.

These people were there.

This is ryans hand that looks just like balls.

Late night we went and played poker at Pete's.

Pete has endless energy. I did not. (Then again, Pete napped all the next day, I did not.)

A girl!

Know when to hold em.. know when...

I went to bed between 4 and 5. I got up at 6 when the game was over and walked to Denny's. On the way I got pulled over by a cop.

... Did I say I was walking?!?!?!

So Im walking along, and this cop pulls up and blue lights it and rolls down the window and says:
cop - "Hey"
me - "Yes officer"
cop - "Why are you so happy?"
me - "Because we are going to Denny's"
cop - Rolls up window and drives away.

I have now been pulled over on a car, bike, skateboard and feet. I need a rickshaw.

After that we went go carting.
Seths sick shoes matched his sick outfit. (I beat him btw)

That night (Which I think is now monday) we went to margaritas with all intentions of getting fajitas... and the party started then too.

We went to this bar that has a window to the other sex's bathroom.
From the men's side:

From the ladies side:

They also had swings. Janelle in a swing.

The place was packed!

This guy was our bartender at the next place. We talked about the gray album.

Remember that pic from before I told you to remember? What is Janelles deal with noses! (Not to mention that she also took pics of ears!)

More respectable version

Janelle is a vegetarian. Look at this freaking "food". WOW.

Classy fridge stocking! Just the essentials.. all set up Cribs style.

Seth, what do you think of 9 bean loaf?

I got back the next morning and drove to work.

All of this was immensly fun at the time. The problem is I spent a lot of money. Speaking in terms of Net, I spent 3 times as much on this weekends booze than I did on the whole freaking trip to tahoe. OUCH.

I have pics from Nicki's party for later. But this is tooo much. Will post more later.

Im going to seattle for the weekend tomorrow, then to STL next week. Ill be checkin in for sure!

Peace,
E

Weekend in full Swing!

2005-05-29T18:36:00.000-04:00

Pics etc to come.

Great weekend so far... pics etc on monday!

Off to portland now!

E

"I got your hairdresser's #"

2005-05-26T11:47:00.000-04:00

As some of you know, I have been on a hiatus from drinking.

I made some poor choices, and figured I should take a little break. Anways last night I ended the hiatus which brings me to this staggering conclusion:
I am not good at moderation.

Anyways.

The night started out with the roomies and dinner at margaritas. I had fajitas. They were good.

Heres the roomates:

We then met up with sam and the airforce... and things quickly went downhill:

Airforce + Bad Tequila =

Brian sacktapped Jay's beer so jay did what any logically thinking person would do... put is thumb over the top and sprayed it all over brian.

Seth met some ladies, but was unimpressed

He also talked on the phone.

Who the hell are these people?!?!

Smitty comes clean.

Here at VivaManchVegas.com we try to give you the best in multimedia. A little something new hopefully once a week, and we have a doozy this week.

In one fell swoop we find Cross, pie faced looking for Mikey, and Mikey sounding... shall we say a tad bit defensive. Wonder what has this ladies man on the run......

With No further ado Cross' Call to Mikey

Sunday

2005-05-22T21:32:00.000-04:00

Sundays are usually slow and boring.

Today they were slow, boring, rainy, and kinda fun.

Started off the day with some packing/organizing. Then moved straight to lunch at Manchesters finest sub shop, the new Quiznos. Why would you want to read about this???

Anway, skip to the partying.

Went to lukes this afternoon. Nothing really crazy except finding out that he cant throw a wiffle ball for shit. I mean really. I thought he was kidding. Ok close your eyes and picture this: A drunk Johnny Damon throwing Right handed. Its WORSE than that.

Anyways, his dad has a sweet little hidden wine cellar in the basement with turntables. We went down there and listened to interpol on vinyl. It was good.

Then Seth Ryan and I had pimp dinner at Piccolas. Gotta love it.

Then poker. Seth lost again. I tied for losing but came out even with loot people owed me.

Sometimes the team has to take one for you.

The list of acceptable reasons Seth could have used to not give us something rediculous is just like cross' weiner; Short, but Distinguished.

They Include:

1. Suddenly turning into Helen Keller

2. Dolphins Cheerleaders.

I think thats it.

In a shocking turn of events, Seth did have to bow out when his plans got too deep and the immediate surroundings too distracting. For this I give you

SETHS REASON FOR NOT GIVING US A CHALLENGE

I think we all find this acceptable.
As we speak he is with dolphins cheerleaders. Way to go man. We love you.

But a note: The gauntlet has been set, and the ideas are ruminating. You may get a call to plan an evening for us. The rules may change, but the idea remains. Prepare yourselves for some adventures.

We didnt know what to do... So we called Seth

So Ryan and I were sitting at Hooters having some wings and beer (well not me cause im on hiatus until next week)... and we didnt know what to do. Ryan got the itch to do someting rediculous but didnt know what.

I said "Lets come up with 3 rules, and call Seth. Then we give him the rules and we have to do whatever he comes up with".

So we did. The Rules:

1. We cant drive more than an hour

2. We cant get wet

3. We cant spend more than $100 each.

We are currently waiting for him to recieve a call back.

We shall see how this goes.

Running

2005-05-21T19:45:00.000-04:00

So today was the Bedford Memorial Road Race.

It was pretty sweet, fast flat course. Times for the day.

16 of 225 was me with a 20:49

Ryan was a bit back with a 24:10

Nicki and Ellie ran about a 26:00

It was a pretty dope day.

The point of this post is not to brag. It is to say one very very important thing. If you think you can beat me just because you are a twiggy little cuddling guy, who just happens to never run, who just happens to think they can eat me for breakfast cause I can drink you under the table and your name just happens to be Mikey... Youve got another thing coming. You are going to get it. You are going to come in limping to the finish line begging to give me your $20 that you lost on the worst bet of your life!!!

YOU ARE GOIN DOWN MIKEY!!!

Poor Nicklyn

I want to say congradulations to all the people that have made it into this first round of pics to be posted on vivamanchvegas.com. I salute you, your friends salute you, and the companies that sold all of the alcohol you consumed salute you as well.

Now onto our first round of pictures!

Sted, Cross and Mikey!

The Ladies LOVE Mikey (except for the one on the end that is practically doing the limbo to get away!)

Mikey and I on my birthday. Free shirts at the bar.

Melts in your mouth. Not in your hands.

Dont lose at Ace of Hearts! (How to play the game: Get a deck of cards, everyone pics a card until the ace of hearts is chosen! If you get the ace you win a beer!!!

Ryan Playing AirPiano!

These guys wanted to fight me. I dont know why. I took their picture. What a bunch of classy fellas.

Seth's real name is Jake. You can see him on Romp.com FooSeeeeezeee!

All of this can be yours.

My fridge is cheating on me with Mikey.

Be Glad this is a waist up shot.

Ok thats it for now!

This Weekend

2005-05-20T12:56:00.000-04:00

Part of this is going to be a roundup of the weekends festivities in advance. Here are the plans for this weekend:

Friday: Going to the FisherCats game with Ryan (VIP w/ free beer and food IM me if you want to come)
Ellie is coming up from Boston to visit Nicki. They have some hippy fundraiser thing to go to. Call her if you are in.
Who knows about Mikey and Brooke.

Sat: Bedford Memorial Road Race and the Amherst Little League Tigers vs. Milford.

Sunday: I have something planned but I cant remember what.

Hmm.

Ok also Im looking for somewhere to start playing in Manch. The only brilliant idea so far has been from Heather @ The Madd Hatter (great haircuts) which is to play at the rover.

What do y'all think?

See you out!

Welcome to the Site!

2005-05-20T12:52:00.000-04:00

Yo Everyone.

I know this has been a long time coming, but having lesiure time to spend documenting lesiure time is twice as hard to come by. Lets hope I never try to start a site about this blog... That would be a disaster.

Over the next few days Ill start uploading pics from parties past with brief descriptions of the situations.

Feel free to comment on them. Just remember Im not responsible for any views on this site other than my own. As such if you hooked up with an ugly girl and 1000 people call you out on it on this site, dont blame me (cross).

Anyways, welcome and goodluck! You should come over and do something post worthy in the mean time!

Eddie
