So this weekend the porter’s warehouse/ party crew hit san fran up for a sick weekend of heavy partying. Kevin Silva and myself took his party van on an epic journey with a beer pong table strapped to the roof. First we had to pick up a previous porters employee in Sac, Nasty Nate. Besides getting a CD stuck in Kev’s CD player the ride out was not bad. Friday night we went to a pre icer party in the aquarium at Pier 39. Where not only did we get to touch starfish and leopard shark but also they charged us double the money for half the drink. There were a lot of hot girls there, very few of which any of us talked to. The next day I found myself wondering who’s hotel I was sleeping in, and eventually Nate and myself had to walk all the way to AT&T Park from who knows where on market St. (thanks to Matt Connelly) I spent about 3 seconds at icer air after seeing the weak display of what they called a hip. Porter’s photographer Eric came out of the icer venue to inform me not to waste my time. So we decided to hit up the Red Bull Soup box derby instead. What a great decision that was because it was the most fun I had all weekend. 75,000 people apparently were having a great time as well crushing beer in the streets, which were closed off. Kevin Nate and myself bought a bunch of tall PBR’S and hit the street to watch the fiasco. There were a lot of hot girls and funny costumes. Some of the eye-catching cars people made were the Star Wars Death Star, the Hampster mobile, a giant baseball with thick red smoke pouring out the back, and some sort of pig car. Some of the soup boxcars reached speeds of over 40 mph hitting hay bails and trashing all the hard work they put into their creations. People were climbing trees to catch a glimpse of the kayos especially on the last downhill where teams were catching air and barreling way out of control. All and all it was a great time and porters is already planning soup car ideas for next years derby. If there are any ideas feel free to post them on our blog. After the derby the crew and me had to rally up Finn back at icer and prepare our self’s for Sunday’s football game in Oakland. When we finally found our parking spot we noticed that we parked on a dead turkey. This was not going to spoil our fun so we just went with it. Plus it was Ryan Saca’s dirty thirty and a great way to end our sick weekend of binge drinking by drinking more. Oakland fans are pretty crazy we saw a bunch of fights from our nosebleed seats. The highlight was probably seeing a cop fall down the stairs in the section next to us, as he was one of thirty cops trying to break up the raiders and jets fans. It was an awesome game the raiders won in OT by kicking a 57 yarder. People gave me shit for wearing a Chicago bears hat but fortunately I was able to exit the coliseum shank free. Nate stepped his game up in what felt like the wee hours of the afternoon by driving us half way home then Finn took over. When we eventually reached Tahoe the party fan reeked of pot smoke stale beer and whip-its. We gave a round of stingers up top and called it a weekend.

PS. Finn might be having a baby because of our shenanigans on Saturday night

It's Soap Box Derby! Not Soup.
Too much binge drinking & pot smoke.
