So as I already mentioned, part of my bachelor party in NYC consisted of geocaching. Steve had told me prior to the trip to pack my GPS, so I assumed that was the plan, but I didn’t know where we were going. When we got to the city, he revealed that he had printed out a few geocache locations from the site. So on Sunday afternoon, when we had some down time, we headed to Central Park to see what we could find.
I still need work judging distance on my GPS, because I kept thinking it was closer, but kept forgetting that the screen was zoomed out, so everytime it looked like we were right on top of it, I had to remember to zoom in to reveal that it was actually further away. We ended up crossing the entire park since we got there via the wrong entrance. We eventually stumbled across it on a hill, in some grass. It was in an out of the way portion of the park, so there weren’t too many people around.

I had a blast this weekend at my bachelor party. As I said, I went into it not having any idea what we were up to. We ended up heading down to NYC for the weekend. We had a blast with plenty of good food, drinks, and friends. I headed down on Saturday with Steve and my cousin, then we met up with my brother-in-law for some afternoon drinks. Eventually we made it to an awesome BBQ place for dinner and met up with my high school friend. Later on my childhood friend from Long Island met up with us also, which was awesome.
One of the coolest things that happened was that we went to a comedy show at one point, and all of a sudden Jim Gaffigan comes on stage and starts doing stand-up. I turned to my friend and we’re both in shock, because it was this divey comedy place inside a childrens hospital or something, and he wasn’t even mentioned on the set list or anything. It was a hilarious surprise.
On Sunday Steve and I hit up some comic and video game stores, and then went and did a geocache in Central Park (I will post that separately.) After that, we headed home. It was a very fun weekend, and it was really nice outside (though I could say it was too hot for my taste.) I had a blast down there having drinks with my friends, and a good time was had by all.

The wedding is in pretty much a month, and things have been going crazy. We met with our priest last week to go over all the final details and what-not. We met up with the DJ today, who seems pretty cool. He promised plenty of inflatable guitars for all, so that will rock! The rsvp’s for the invitations are pretty much all in, with just a few stragglers we are waiting to hear from, but it looks like it’s going to be a pretty decent-sized party, though not as big as we anticipated.
This weekend is also gonna be jampacked with my bachelor party and Shell’s bachelorette party. Shell will be heading down to NYC with her bridesmaids and friends for a night on the town, and then crashing at my sister’s place. As for me…I don’t know. Apparently Steve has decided that it should be a surprise, so I am in the dark as to what he has planned for the weekend. I am driving down to his place Friday night, and then Saturday we are off to the mysterious destination of my bachelor party. I’m looking forward to it, and seeing some friends and family, though I don’t know who exactly is coming (aside from Steve and my bro-in-law Nick).
No need to worry…when I eventually return on Sunday, I will post up (non-incriminating) pics of the weekend festivities. After this weekend, we are into May, and that’s the WEDDING MONTH!!! It’s coming up pretty fast, and I’m excited…and probably a little nervous…but more excited than anything.

A few weeks ago, Steve had seen The Hangover and insisted I did the same. His exact words were “You have to see this movie. This is how you’re bachelor party is going to be.” I hadn’t intended on seeing it initially, but after him and hearing all the other buzz about it, I decided to go.
Shell and I went today to see it. Since she was off today, we got to go to a matinee, and it only cost $7.25 a person, as opposed to the usual $10.50. Plus I got a free soda!
Anywho, as for the movie itself. It was hilarious. One of those really silly, stupid movies where you are laughing the entire time. It is a really great comedy about four guys who head to Vegas for a bachelor party, and wake up the next day with a no recollection of the nights events, and find the groom missing. Thus, the three remaining guys get into all sorts of hijinxs across Vegas as they follow clues from their previous night in search of their lost friend.
Its really, really great. Theres a lot of really stupid comedy in it, which I love. Much like Old School, if you want to see a bunch of guys party and act retarded, this is the movie for you. Personally, I highly recommend it.
