Chicago Hunks and Babes Sucks

First of all, I'd like to send a big "FUCK YOU!" to the retards at Chicago Hunks and Babes for ruining that portion of my friends bachelor party. Note to all: Do NOT use this company. Heres what happened: NOTHING. I has a scheduled reservation for 8:30, with a one hour grace period. Not just for one girl but for THREE of these degenerate hookers who obviously took the previous engagements patrons up on their offers for "extras" after the show. I know this because nothing happened. None of the ho's showed up (I stay ho's not because they're strippers but because they would rather smoke some dick for 50 a pop than show up to a predefined event). Now this may or may not be the case, but I'll never know cuz I never even got a phone call to tell me they werent gonna show. At 10:00, I tried calling the number they give out and got an office voice mail that said no one was in, but that if i wanted to arrange for an event that evening I should send an email to managment@hbstrippers.com, and someone would call me right away. So I sent them an email. I didnt get called. The entertainment portion of the evening was ruined without so much as an apology. Then the jackass I talked to when I called monday morning, I think his name was Lorenzo or Bendajo or something, hears my story without so much as an ounce of suprise or empathy. When I called him on it, he lauched into a schpiel that was either poorly rehearsed or being read directly off a piece of paper (Lorenzo/Bendajo can't read so good). I said whatever, just give me the 350 dollars you WERE able to call me 3 times for when you fuckups couldnt write the correct card number down from what was put in online. He said it would be 24 to 48 hours before the refund got credited to my account. ***UPDATE: After a second phone call, where some girl answered the phone and processed the request before i would let her go, the refund came through 11 days later*** So yeah, DO NOT use Chicago Hunks and Babes for ANYTHING. I dont give a shit what B96 was paid to say...

Kevin's Bachelor Party Recap

On a lighter note, the bachelor party ended up being a huge success. Thanks to Mugs Bunny in Hegewisch, the Hideaway in Calumet City, and the SkyBox in Harvey for thier contributions to the fun. Kevin was waaaaaasted before we even left Mugs. I got to chalk up another top 5 Kevin quote as we were leaving with "Hey man, did I give you my gun?". Keeping in mind that out of the 30 or so guys that were there, I was one
of around 5 that wasnt a cop. Awesome. (He later found it). We hung out at the Hideaway for about an hour while the troops were rounded up. At this point, I was being told not to leave for the Skybox cuz noone thought Kevin would make it. (He was swaying to and fro and had already passed out on the way there). But, being the trooper that he is he persevered and was the lap dance king from 1 til 3. I had almost a couple hundred bucks left after the food and bar was paid for, which meant 10 dances from me and there were people still coming in for him getting him lapdances as well. Everyone had a great time. So many boobies... We tried to make it from the Skybox to Cowboys, which was close by and didnt close til 5, but Kevin had had it. Fin. Outtie. He K'd out in the car while we were en route and I had to
figure out how to get home from where ever we were. Waking kevin up took about 15 minutes, and lets just say I'm glad he didnt have his gun afterall, and getting in to the house took another 15. We couldnt get the key in the lock for some reason and had to ring the doorbell. We found out the next day that his key was for the side door. A factoid which he knew well at that point but couldnt quite remember 8 hours before. Once in the house we were both asleep within 90 seconds. All in all a good time.

En el nombre del Padre...

Lex had his first holy sacrament of baptism on Aug. 27, 2005. It was pretty cool, basically the same as MJs. The cool thing about getting them baptised down south is that they do the whole thing in a baptismal pool, where the child is immersed in water, and not just getting a couple of splashes from the baptismal font like we see up here.

I hear that this has nothing to do with being north or south, but more to do with that only the newer churches need to have the pools. Catholicism isnt very big down south so a lot of the churches are pretty new, as they are built to accomodate need. Up here it seems like everyones Catholic. Between the heavy immigrant populations of Irish, Italian, and Latinos, Catholicism has pretty much had Chicago on lock since the old days. And because of that, most of our churches are pretty old, which means all of the baptisms I've seen up until this point were the hold the baby over the fountain / dump some water over his head / badda bing badda bang see you at the reception hall for some lumpia and leche flan...

So getting to see this type of baptism was pretty enriching, cuz not only was my kid getting baptised, but I was actually seeing something that is pretty new to me as well. Adding to the newness was the fact that the entire thing was in spanish. Mother and Godmother know spanish. Father and Godfather do not. Watching the video afterwards was pretty funny cuz me and Rich were just standing staring straight ahead the entire time not even pretending we knew what was going on. Rich stuck out even more cuz hes taller and was the only person in the building with blond hair and blue eyes.

All in all, the weekend was good. I got to see my family, which was nice. Its amazing how small children can grow in 2 weeks. Unbelievable. Anyways, thats all for now.

peaceindahood.
