"Yah, me too, mellow for a while"
"At least a couple of days... Soooo hungover"
This is the end of the conversation Rawdawg and I were having about 20 min before Eric came down to the shop.
"What's the plans for tomorrow (friday)?" Eric asks.
"Not sure, probably keep it mellow" one of us reply
"There is a party in Chinatown with open bar Brook can get us into"
"What! open bar lets do this!"
"Ill drive one way"
"We should just get a hotel"
Just like that we were back into it. Party time. Cash was getting slim again so Friday morning was polishing out a new Midrange for Surf Garage. We got in the van by 1:30 and headed for Nordstroms.
They had a few mannequins for sale and our shop really needed them. Well not really but they are pretty funny to have around.
The three of us land at the Ala Moana mall. Not the most comfortable place for three surfer guys. We all somehow manage to loose each other in the first 3 sec of getting out of the van. Tina the mannequin seller spots us walking into the store right away and somehow knows we are here for the plastic people. We tried working a deal and ended up walking out of there with 3. Two guys and a sitting girl. Score. We load up the van and head for Surf Garage then the hotel before a surf out in Waikiki. The night has just begun.
Buffing out a nice one for Surf Garage
"Hi my name is Nick, nice to meet you..."
"Get in the van!"
It looked like we were a group of Jeffrey Dahmer apprentices. There were body parts everywhere. Needless to say we got a lot of funny looks driving around town. Here is Eric getting wired while matt moves some body parts to find a place to sit.
Made it to the hotel. Right across the street from Queens.
A little sailors jerry for the kids...
Free Drinks! Nothing more fun than that. Here Matt and Eric drinking some Chimey. 9$ a bottle. Kinda bubbly. We soon went back to everything else. The G-shock party was going off with food and drinks. It was a smorgasbord of drinks, luckly were pretty good at drinking. The night was just starting. Sometimes it's best to keep the cameras turned off.
The aftermath
We managed a little surf out at a secret spot Eric has been talking about the entire time. Perfect hangover cure and we were back on the road heading to home base at the Sugar Mill. Eric thought this was a good idea to lock his keys in the car so we could all hang out a bit longer.

The mannequins made it home into the glassing room. She looks pretty comfortable up on that resin drum.
It wasnt long before the spray paint came out
Fry stopped by and had to get in on the action.
A pretty crazy 24 hours. A couple of incriminating pictures left out, but you can only imagine.
