Hoboken Italian Festival



Something happens when boys are in competition. It could be the hormones...or it also could be the audience of ladies. i don't know. but a Rock Climbing Contest ensued. Jon and DJ were in good spirits. Steve was out for blood.
As soon as Dan Johnny and me yelled "Go!", those kids flew up. and i mean FLEW.

My "deeayum" face.


Needless to say, the victor was Steve. His prize? He got his cigarettes. Congrats good boy congrats.

Then some guy just started talking to us. He offered some animals but Danielle preferred a crown. I was going to get a picture of the balloon being fitted to her head but I didn't whip it out on time. The guy did give me a free "Love Wand". :-)

Behold. The Magical Powers of VD. Dan's crown was for good. I used my "Love Wand" for evil.

UMPH! UMPH! UMPH! LOVE WAND.

Dan bought me some glasses to replace the ones I gave her. They're spiffy. And they make Steve look old.
Jon claimed them to be "Pi-ump" glasses. This is how you're supposed to pose while wearing them.
My brother being torn between good and evil. I asked for drama and I got this face.
The DJ guy on stage was playing "Boys" by Britney Spears. I decided to use Love Wand as a microphone and perform for the boys. Steve loved it. mm-hmm. This is my "Get Nasty" face. I'd flinch.
DIAPETEY! We didn't know where the hell he came from. I guess Colombians make awesome Italian Ices. He was working the booth with his parents and amazingly adorable little brother, Vincent.

The Cover Stage. It was like a greedy-man's kareoke. They played stuff from George Michael, Pearl Jam, The Cure, Bon Jovi, and a bunch more. My brother and I took quotes from Coming to America to describe the singer's voice.
"That Boy's Good!"

BAM! 12-string acoustic.

Then followed the Hoboken Police vs. Fire Department GRAPE STOMPING contest. It was hilarious.

The Police won thanks to some dude with a size 16 shoe. SICK

Steve took some of what I call..."Victory Juice." We kicked it to some old lady and walked away. Thats how scumbaggy Hudson County teens do, yo. DJ picked it out and threw it away. We're not all THAT bad.

Good Music, Good Weather, Good food, Great Friends. Thats what Polariods of Big Couches with Oversized Bottles of Liquor is all about.

This was definitely a highlight of the year.
