WrestleMania 28 was held on April 1st. And just as the WWE has a tradition of putting on it’s biggest pay per view of the year, Pip and I have started a bit of a tradition of our own… The Beeramid. And for the 7th time we set out last Sunday night to once again attempt the mighty feat.
I have to give HUGE props to my brother Marko for once again joining us for the event. Not only is the event itself Herculean in nature, but Mark and his wife had just 5 days prior welcomed their first… Continue reading
We’re a few days removed from the 2012 WWE Royal Rumble pay per view. As this is the official start to the Road To WrestleMania (and happens to be my favorite PPV of the year) this is one of the 2 shows per year I get (with Mania obviously being the other). There’s been quite a bit of bad press out there for this show and I really don’t get it. This was a very entertaining PPV from top to bottom.

I started doing a yearly recap last year. During the past year, I’ve found myself referring to that post quite a few times so I figured I’d do it again this year. Got something you want me to cover in 2012? Drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do!

#10 – Thoughts At 35 No matter how hard I try, I continue to get older. On this “milestone” birthday I decided to jot down a few musings.
Gettin ready for Pip's Power Hour
I recently made my yearly trek back to the Hoosier State to see brother Pip. As always the weekend went way to quick, but it was absolutely awesome to see Pip and Lauren again. I look forward to this trip every year and it had been a while since I’ve made the journey. Last year, instead of going to Indy for a weekend, we made the trip to Bloomington to be with Matt & Lauren on their wedding day.
I set out early on Friday mid-morning to get a jump on the traffic. … Continue reading
Pip's Living Room (Fishers, Indiana)
As you know I spent last weekend hanging out in Indianapolis with brother Pip. As luck would have it the Star Wars saga came out on Friday… the same day I showed up. It’s almost as if there a “crazy ancient religion” bringing this version of Beer Shots together…
The boys love Mr. Matt. They look forward to his trips here every year just about as much as I do. So, while they’re bummed that SuperDad isn’t going to be around this weekend, they’re super excited that Dad gets to hang out with his buddy. We were sitting around the dinner table last night and I mentioned to them that Mr. Matt wasn’t going to believe just how big they’d gotten and that I’d show pictures of them on my phone.
Naturally, that lead to the conversation of exactly WHAT pictures I was going to show Mr. Matt and… Continue reading
Pip sent me this video earlier today… I clicked and had absolutely no idea what to expect. I quite literally got goose bumps. THIS video is the essence the college experience at Indiana. These guys (who apparently have some fame in the Hoosier state) don’t know it, but they’ve completely channeled the 406 Northlane experience.
Please don’t take this to mean that life at IU was all about partying. There was certainly (more than) a fair share of that, but what this really evokes from my memory is the FUN that we had. I met some of my best friends… Continue reading
I’m not a huge fan of Rihanna but I have to once again give huge props to my wife for turning me on to an awesome song. Talk about a party anthem! Great lyrics and just an all around fun song!
“Cheers (Drink To That)” – Rihanna
Cheers to the freakin weekend I drink to that, yeah yeah Oh let the Jameson sink in I drink to that, yeah yeah Don’t let the bastards get ya down Turn it around with another round There’s a party at the bar everybody putcha glasses up and I drink to that I drink… Continue reading
It’s been quite a while since I’ve added any old school 406 pics. This morning I checked my Facebook feed and noticed Pip had posted some pics from last night’s Buffett show. Low and behold he posted this pic of he and Buford… two of the 406 “founding fathers”. Just had to share it!
Pip & Buford At The Jimmy Buffett Concert - 8.25.2011
I’ve got an Indianapolis trip planned in less than a month. I’m guessing there will be quite a few pics coming from that weekend. Can’t wait!
A few weeks ago, I got an email from Pip’s sister letting me know that she was making him a quilt made out of t-shirts and was wondering if I had any input. Not only did I have some input but I had what I thought was the perfect shirt to add to the mix… The T5 Flaming Keg shirt. Back in our days in the dorm, Pip and I lived with a great group of guys in Teter-Thompson on the 5th floor. That’s where the nicknames Chewie, Pip, Buford, Amo, Floyd and a whole slew of others come from… Continue reading
