Four Days Of Alcohol, Pornography, and Rock 'n' Roll

It was cold. There was snow on the ground and a hard wind. But we went anyway. We had to go; had to fly or drive there; had to walk out of warm hotels, blinking in the winter sunlight; we had to join the others there and allow them to beat the hell out of us; we had to drink our weight in liquor.

And we had to watch Iron Chef for ten straight hours.

HeadPorn 2000. It's over now and all that remains are a few regrets, a broken pair of glasses, and new friendships that won't be so fleeting as a New Year's Eve concert.

Okay, no more cheese. We had fun, we drank too much, we smoked too much and now Bento has bronchitis, happy? Would we do it again? I can't speak for anyone but myself, but yeah, I'd go in a heartbeat.

 

To the best of my knowledge, all photographs taken by kidsparrow, Suave, and Bento over New Year's Eve weekend, 2000-2001, with the exception of hughinbuffalo.jpg, taken in Buffalo, duh, December 15, 2000.
