You said it, Kevin McCallister.

My backpack is loaded with the essentials:
  • A clean shirt for Saturday morning
  • A 3/4 bottle of Maker's Mark (to calm the nerves)
  • A stick of deodorant
  • Two packets of tangerine flavored Emergen-C for the inevitable hangover drive back to Los Angeles (the only working hangover cure in existence besides pho)
  • Two bottles of Vitamin Water (again, for the hangover)
I pick up Jack in a few hours and we're taking the 101 straight West.


Here we go.

I know I have used this before, but it's too perfect. Besides, it was written in 2007. No one remembers that.

Bella@That damn expat said...

Woo hoo! I'm excited for you!

God, I'm lame.

deutlich said...

emergen-c works?!

dude, I'm gonna need to stock pile on that for the big meet up in June

Princess Extraordinaire said...

Don't do anything you wouldn't do sober...yeah right...

*Jac* said...

Pho so does not cure hangovers. At least not mine. The Emergen-C is a good idea. I might have to look into that one. Have a fun weekend!

Cheryl said...

Don't do anything I wouldn't do!
.. which pretty much is nothing.
Have fun!

Essentially Me said...

Have a good time!

pj said...

Everyone know the hangover cure is pickle juice. Have fun out there!

Bird* said...

good luck.

Coconut said...

Jump up and get ya some.

Matt said...

you should take some rubbers too.

you know, just in case.

e said...

good luck!

Kris said...

Good luck!

Can't wait to hear the details...

Joel said...

I will second pickle juice (saltwater in general, really). Drink a glass while you're drinking, a glass before bed, and a glass in the morning. No hangover.

Jossie Posie said...

Have a great time and good luck, as if you'd need it you saucy minx.

Just Playing Pretend said...

Is one stick of deoderant going to be enough? Think about it.
You can do it.
What?
I don't know I just felt like that was the appropriate thing to say.

Britt said...

don't forget a change of underwear! Nothing says turn off like old underwear...

Have a great time!

Marie said...

Seriously, emergen-c has those great powers? How did I not know of this?

Have a great time!

Narm said...

Good luck and god speed.

MelBee said...

What if you get invited to stay?

What if Jack hooks up?

Toothbrush and toothpaste. NEVER go anywhere without it.

Pillows and blankets in the car just in case you have to pass out in it.

I'm old and experienced, listen to me.

GOOOOOOOOD LUCK!

The Brooklyn Boy said...

Dude, the first rule of Emergen-C is that you DO NOT TALK ABOUT EMERGEN-C. The effin price will go up and everyone in on it will be screwed. That stuff is frakkin phenomenal.

Sassy Britches said...

Accccck! I'm freaking out about the hangover cures taking up the most room in your backpack. BE CAREFUL with the boozing...you wanna leave a good impression, and you wanna REMEMBER the night!

Sassy Britches said...

Oh, yes, and good luck!!!!!!!

Little Fish said...

Have a great time and a safe trip!

Belle Ecrivaine said...

You better have one hell of a weekend! Although I have no doubts about that.

Anonymous said...

Hope the weather improves, otherwise the zoo option is out. Good idea on the packing items, always thinking ahead. But don't overthink it, Grasshopper...
Good luck!

MarvelousMOM said...

Good luck! So exciting. Can't wait to hear about it!!

Dugout Daisy said...

Best of wishes! And if it doesn't turn out well, I live in LA if you need someone to vent to.
Have a safe trip!

the frog princess said...

Good luck!

Just don't drink all that Maker's by yourself. If there's one thing that Grey's Anatomy has taught us, it's that showing up wasted to meet a girl you like is not a good idea :)

Can't wait to hear all about it!

bethis said...

Have fun! I love that half your preparations are for the hangover. Priceless.

Next time you have to bring a backpack a la Seth Green/"Kenny" from Can't Hardly Wait. Now that is smoooooth.

A Martini Always Helps said...

Wait, why are you bringing a third wheel? Things not conducive to sex include....

Ok, sorry, GO GET 'EM CHAMP.

Fizzgig said...

i quite like alka seltzer "morning relief" for a hangover.

That...or a mcdonalds sausage biscuit and coke.

have fun!!!

Trixie Firecracker said...

Good luck!

brookem said...

hope you have a blast. want to have a few of the 30 condoms i was gifted?

Riff Dog said...

Like I said before, I'm giggly as a schoolgirl over this!

Lauren said...

Yes! Good luck!

(I heart Emergen-C)

meave said...

The 101 is a north-west-north route from LA to Santa Barbara!

It's also fucking beautiful, when it meets up with the 1 and becomes El Camino Real (north of Ventura). The Central Coast is the loveliest part of the state. Drive safely!

Maxie said...

have fun.

that's all you have to worry about :-)

Dolce said...

I hope you have a blast tonight!!!

Katelin said...

oooh have fun. hope it doesn't take you 2193890583 hours to get there because of the rain either, woo.

it's not a gravy train said...

Good luck you crazy kids!

Karen said...

Have FUN!!! :-)

Sassy Britches said...

Are you okay? Why am I getting grumbled at? And why are you in LA and not where you should be?

Blaez said...

yay for drunken debauchery and fun!!!

Emma ContraryWise said...

GOOD LUCK!!!! :) I hope you have a blast! :)

heatherdc said...

You might appreciate this:
One of my roomies from College is now driving the Weinermobile around the country for KRAFT. Aaaand, she just stopped in Chicago and went to visit the McCallister house! Yup, it's a real house. And the ppl who live there now, lived there when they filmed the movie. Well, ya know, not While they filmed the movie. But, they let them film it there. Yup.

gooood luck this weekend!

Babs said...
