The Cheaps Fartyyyy - July 09 2004

Mr Arun Kishan, kuxx meister and self-proclaimed lady-killer, turned 24 on the 8th of July. Hi, Hey, Please, Cheap!. We went to Buca Di Beppo on Thursday night (it was supposed to be a surprise but he found out thanks to Bizo) and got him totally wasted - many kudos to Syed, D and co for a bang-up job. Arun thought that the festivities for his birthday were done for - why wouldn't he, the entire day was real action-packed. Arun threw a fit about the fact that he wasn't gonna get a surprise, he watched Dodgeball (funny itself), the veggie food had beef in it and finally we only got charged for wine at Buca - total bill for 14 people == $65!!

So it was no surprise that said Arun was completely clueless about the party Bizo and I had planned for the night of the 9th of July - come on, how could he have a clue, I mean! And when he arrived to an apartment flashing with lights and bursting with people, he was totally surprised and maybe a tad overwhelmed. Around 35 people showed up and drank a whole lot of alcohol - 9 bottles of hard liquor and maybe 60 bottles of assorted beers and wine coolers. And they were all packed like sardines in my tiny 1 bedroom apartment, so you can imagine how little space there was to move :) And then at 11:40, the cops arrived - 'nuff said...

Fun facts from last night:
- Most guys were trashed, me included. I was so drunk that I walked over to Vijay's at 3am, barely ate 1/2 a bagel, returned home and tried to watch Finding Nemo before crashing off.
- Karand was drunk even this morning - apparently drinking the better part of a bottle of Bacardi doesn't do much for balance and motor control:)
- Ashley was ...
- Twenty people left my place around 1:15 to go to Fenix Underground - no one made it to Fenix :) Better still, they left the four most drunk people to fend for themselves :)

I'll depart with an anecdote that will give you a measure of how drunk we all were; Karand tried to jump onto a car's boot three times, without success I might add, after which the two of us just sat on the tarmac and laughed. The big question is, why are Manoj Mehta parties Outta Control ;)
