This year was far better than last. It was awesome, for the most part. A friend of mine has a huge farm, and we camped out in the back fields (a good twenty minute walk from the road). We bought two 20L kegs... that's right, I said TWO KEGS. And we pretty much finished them both (there was maybe a cup of two left in the last one). It was awesome.
The first night was alright. There were a couple people there I had never met before, and other people I hadn't seen for a long time. Unfortunately, the friend who was hosting the party was forced to bring his brother and his little friends. Fucking brats, in my opinion. Anyways, it started to rain, and my friend Wes lives right next door, so we went over to his place to get food and stuff. By the time we were going to head back, it was pouring rain, so we just chilled out at his place and went to sleep. I didn't have a whole lot to drink, but it was still pretty good.
The second day is where it got interesting. I wandered back over around 2, and apparently a couple of my friends headed home to get clothes, food, and other various supplies. When they got back, we started drinking. I was quite drunk before the next group of people showed up and the party started. In fact, we polished off the first keg around 4. We cut down some trees (very scary when intoxicated), found a coyote skeleton (I snagged the femur), got a fuck-ton of wood in preparation for the cold night ahead (as we were not very prepared the previous evening), and played some manhunt. Eventually we got a wicked fire going, and hung out for a couple hours (still drinking, of course).
Around 8 more people started showing up, and the party got going. Unfortunately with the introduction of more people there was more booze, and we had some puking (not by me, thankfully). I met some cool new people, and reunited with old friends. It was a good night. It got a little chilly, but we huddled together and had a good ol' time. And with everyone's help, the cleanup went pretty fast. It was an awesome weekend, and I'm hoping to do the same sort of thing at my place next weekend.
