Christine and Brian's Birthday~ Fam time and the end of Sobriety^^*!~

This past weekend was a celebration of growth...through numerics of course.
As we are always growing being, I needn't move over into philosophy. Saturday began with a wander over to 뚝섬유원지역 along the Han river for some chilling, drinking, and boating. I played it sober and didn't catch any pics...except of this!!~

I wandered over to kick it with my cousin (her birthday as well) and got her a sweet kite and some nail polish...she was in fairy gear when I met up with her and the family.

After family time I met with the crew over in 신천 and went to the bar of choice...ahhh but before I get to that...Todde, Jaxs, Patrish and I made some lost discoveries. 

"What?" it was a private club/pool hall/coffee shop/Italian bistro themed cellar...(photo taken by VeganBeats)

 Ahhhh Gold Bar III~It's been a while...I missed you ^^*!~

 Brian was in tip top shape..backstory:
     For years now Brian has taken a journey of sobriety...from the beginning of the year until his birthday. So not only was he celebrating embarking on a new number, he was allowing alcohol and everything else to re-enter his life. So...the entire day was filled with drinking and...well...captured~!

drunken dancing...the only dancing (photo taken by VeganBeats)

 Gold bar III is great..good crowd, LARGE tv's blaring random snap shots (ear shaking guinea pigs) and music videos, a dart board, pool table...alright so it sounds like a LOT of bars...but I'm bias. I was introduced to this bar by a wonderful person and the staff there is so fun and...true individuals~ always loved, appreciated, respected, and well..more Beautiful Seouls right!!

After too many drinks...노레방 was hit up and slovenly murmured extremely passionate singing took place....fizzling away~ 

Well...end all~ got home either REALLY late or super early...

Happy Belated!~

FABulous Fiona. Part four, Sunday...tandem biking, Indian Noms....

     Apologies in advance for taking so long...
Sunday following our very active Saturday everning was a bit rough...But tandem biking was well under order and suggested earlier in the week...there was noo backing out. Fiona and I were late, along with everyone else but Alan. The crew was smaller than originally planned but amounted to another wonderful time.

 After an hour of biking around, sucking down cigs, laughing, and straight kicking it...parting ways became the inevitable..

 Some of us wandered over to Club GS near Seoul University and Jaxs met up with us...more beer, more laughing, more chilling...then Indian noms.

thoughts~~~(photo taken by VeganBeats)

A VERY relaxing Sunday...and very special and enjoyable. The tandem biking was great, I am so glad Fiona suggested it.
As much fun as we were having, I will be honest, I couldn't help but wish the days would slow down, that hours wouldn't pass. I enjoyed every second with Fiona, but every second spent only meant seconds closer to her departure...A couple more days were left, the days we very recently shared were monumental...

FABulous Fiona. Part three, Saturday night...French Horn Rebellion and 고고스

     Saturday marked the final Saturday in Seoul with the lovely Fiona...and it was going to be a fabulously wonderous evening. The plan included French Horn Rebellion, dancing, drinking, and kicking it with the crew. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but exactly what would respect the group and time with Fiona. We all met up around the 홍대 area, 소주 in hand and laughter fully anticipated. The group united with hugs and joy and positivity...raiding a nearby GS25 we stocked up and within minutes, an icing occurred.

Fiona's final icing, and Kyle's first! (photo taken by VeganBeats)

 Wandering for some time, trying to find Rolling Hall...we approached a massive line of waygooks...we were at the right place. The first band to come up was The Koxx! Full of energy, lots of fun...good spirits, the night already began well and the expectation for a fun and active show was well underway.

 After lots of dancing and flailing around, The French Horn Rebellion came on, and everyone smashed forward...tiny dance spaces led to quite an intimate event...

 Takinga breath of fresh air was more than necessary after the show...found some sick car and of course...forced modeling session was in order.

Check out ma car! (photo taken by VeganBeats)

 After the show...to 홍대 we wandered...and to 고고스 we entered...copious drinking, dancing...and more laughter.

Fiona is darling (photo taken by VeganBeats)

I've never seen Fiona dance so hard...and she did a flip too!! It was more than joyous and a wonderful inebriated night of shaking our legs and connecting...the next day...Sunday, was tandem biking....ai ai ai

FABulous Fiona. Part two section A: Friday night~신촌, 홍대, 고고스

   Friday night brought about a lot of excitement, Fiona's final Friday in good ol'Seoul. I'm telling you, as the days appraoch and the reality is just barely sinking in that this wonderful person will soon not be here...hearts undoubtabley are growing heavier. As Fiona has said..."Not now, not now." And it is true, we must celebrate and enjoy...tears are not yet needed.
     Anyways, come this past Friday, the evening's plans were essentially up in the air, one thing was for certain though, Fiona would be and must be involved. Throughout the day facebook was riddled with "what's going on?" "노래방?" etc etc etc...Fiona put Phil in charge and Mike's Cabin was the beginning...followed by an exciting night, drama, dancing, and Gogo's (고고스.) Another series of photos...this is only part of the au revoir.

 We met up with Dane and Dan near Papas (second home of mine ugh) and well..a little excitment happened...a fight, threats, broken beer bottles, slaps int he face (TWICE)...scurrying away..losing half the crew, retrieving the crew....bumping into~
