BHO Blogger Exploits

You people have been busy! John Lohn, Dana Cara, Heather and Lynea had a BHO Retreat in Manayunk Friday night, Crackinup spent 10 days in Tokyo, and Kate swam a mile in Ryan Lochte's swimcap....

First up: BHO Meet-up in Manayunk...
by Lynea, Dana Cara and Heather

Our first impression upon seeing J. Lohn walk in - adorable. His friend Matt- also adorable. Brew Pub was good times; entertainment for the evening provided by drunk moms dancing to Tupac, techno, and Jock Jams. They began dancing at 9:15 sharp, and continued til ?? Def Leppard was requested, but not played. John has good dance moves....we formed a circle around him as he busted out some breakdancing to LLCool J's "Doin It". He and Matt had a dance off. Ok, that didnt happen... but Matt did join Heather and Dana for some shakin' to "Baby Got Back."

Unfortunately, even though a certain Olympic swimmer (whose heavenly abs have so frequently graced the recent threads) was in town, he couldnt make it, and we were of course disappointed that Aunt K and Mrs H, and the rest of the fam couldnt make it either; but for good reason, as they were cheering on the Phillies. You were all missed. :)

It was determined that we would head back to JL's for a beer pong match, whereupon he lost. Twice. There was no dolphin kicking involved. He has filed a protest to the judges under the name A. Peirsol, to no avail, because he failed to fully complete the protest card in FINA-approved pig latin. It may have been the longest match in beer pong history though, so no WR's were broken.

There also was no Cathedral of Brendan. But JL is a Yankees fan. Hallelujah!

John/Dana browsed thru pics, as Lynea and Heather proceed to play every game in JL's house. Winner: Dead Tie. Loser: Coors Lite. At some point, Heather took pictures of herself with SI covers featuring the Sox, in honor of another famous Johnny: Damon. She needed someone to hang out with, as everyone else was looking at Yankees memorablia. We drank the boy dry.

Dana, Lynea and John post on BHO at 3am. See blog. See also picture of us posting on said blog. We are collectively proud of our post's PG rating, especially because it was written after the Brut got opened and you know how those little champagne bubbles can pickle one's inhibitions.

Group returns upstairs for more games. Heather builds a fortress under the beer pong table. Please make sure to ask Heather to describe the fortress in detail, because she doesn't remember anthing about it. Lynea does remember that she looked very comfy under there, and Dana remembers offering to pass her cans and cups so she could build a sculptural piece.

Dave Chappelle? Somehow I remember him making an appearance.... John gives us all blankies and pillows, girls pass out. We wake and survey the damage. John is no where to be found. He did leave a post-it saying "Please for the love of God don't post any of this on the blog." kidding.

All in all, awesome night...Montreal, here we come.

More pictures available upon request.
