STREETS OF LONDON, PT. 3

03/07/06

Aaron came into town from Seattle to visit. Sounded like a good excuse to initiate him into the Streets of London tradition. Let the pinting begin!

	It's a tale of two Aarons! Or it's a tale told TO one Aaron from another (A.T.). In the usual A.T. style
	And there's Chris working his way through his FIRST pitcher...
	Los Chicos reunited! The long-awaited reunion of the five roomates of La Casa de los Chicos Blancos! For those not hip to the legend, that's Tim, Aaron, Rich, A.T. and me
	And you wonder why I moved out... Of course, I was the LAST to move out. Hope that doesn't mean anything...
	Darcy looks thoughtful. Chris looks drunk. All's right with the world.
	Darcy, Chris and Stephanie...with Chris managing to pull off his scariest face EVER. Well done, young man.
	And Jon made the scene, and is kicking it here with James and Darcy
	Chris and Stephanie. Did you know you can watch the Soccer World Cup Series THERE?
	What am I going to do with these guys? Seriously.
	A.T....the mountain that walked like a man! Ah, everybody's tell to me...
	A.T., Kristen, Jon and Ken, getting festive. Yeah, Ken just OOZES festive there, doesn't he?
	A.T., James and happy Darcy.
	Aaron and Rich, straight outta...Seattle and Galt. Big music scene in Galt, too. Really.
	Yeah. That's my people back there.
	More pitchers go down in the line of duty.
	Darcy TRIES to listen to what Tim's saying, but something shiny above him distracts her. Chris? Just drunker.
	And there's the whole London gang. Except for Rich, who's taking the picture.
	Hey, look! I can stand! And I'm taller! And... Oh, wait, that's just Rich taking my place. Rats.
	There are moments when the annoying pause in digital cameras can work magic. Like when a simple good-bye hug, captured just right, can turn into a scene of pure, true man love
	Afraid I can't tell you what the three fingers stands for. It's a Chicos secret. I could tell you, but then...you'd have to move in with us, and really, you don't want that to happen. Count your blessings.
	Chris. A.K.A., Daddy WarBangs. Just livin' the life.
	Kind of looks like Darcy's telling Jon he's got some schmutz on his face
	Darcy, Chris and Stephanie as the night rolls on
	Kristen pulls kind of a 1950s horror movie "My God, doctor, what is it?" look...
	And the girls laugh about Tim's love life. He makes it too easy, really...
	A.T. and Kristen, knockin' 'em back.
	Jon, James and Ken (Ken's back there, I swear), kickin' it.
	I don't know the girl in the background. I just like that expression.
	A.T. sticks his thumb up his nose. I have nothing to add to that.
	To end Tim's girl problems once and for all, Darcy begins to explain the secret of women
	The old San Diego roommates, together again
	And again. Not quite as dramatic the second time.
	Darcy continues her explanation, citing the "itsy bitsy spider" paradigm
	And follows it up with the plane crash metaphor
	And finally, Tim knows it all. And Chris is still drunk.
	Kristen and Jon, hanging with James
	Kristen found out long ago that the secret to keeping Jon from turning into the giant green monster that levels whole metropolitan areas is the soothing temple rub
	Don't know what point Darcy is making, but she believes it, damnit.
	You know, Adam Sandler actually stole that song from Jon's earlier but unheralded "Yellow Hooded Sweat Shirt"
	Jon, Darcy and Kristen saying their good-byes.
	A.T., Stephanie and Chris call it a night as well. And Chris gifts us with a look right up his nose.
	While Ken and James SHOULD be leaving, they continue talking about Chinese cinema. No surprise there.
	And as Tim and Aaron say good night, Tim ends things with the "You're still taking pictures? It's OVER. Go home!"
