after work on friday, barnes, andrews, andrews, and myself arrived at the Mandarin Oriental to occupy rooms already checked out for the group's sessions. In order to provide room keys for everyone, we (with the exception of barnes as he was just visiting) had to provide some form of identification. About 15 minutes after handing over my military ID, the on-duty hotel manager, security liason, and another man whose title I do not recall, asked me to step privately into a side room. the manager informed me that myself and anyone there with me would have to check out of the hotel in as short an amount of time as possible, pay a $500 damage fee, or face legal involvement. i paid them $500 cash, apologized, cooperated, and proceeded to move the group out as expediently as possible. andrews and i went down to the front desk and talked with the manager about some financial discrepancies we had noticed on our bank statements and took care of that. barnes, andrews, andrews, myself, and fruster (now with the group) waited outside for Kevin and Chris who were apparently checking out other hotels in the area.

after deciding on the Park Hyatt Hotel in the Georgetown area of Washington DC, we departed around 1800. upon arrival, there was an issue with the card being used to pay for the hotel, so Kevin had to withdraw cash to pay for the first night (from what i gathered). this process took quite a while, and we didn't actually check into our rooms til about 2000. deciding that there wasn't enough time to do any taping or tickling, we were released for the night and told we would continue the next morning. earlier, we had intended to meet up with the AU girls soccer team at a DC United soccer game, but since we had already missed that, andrews and i headed out to AU to meet up with the girls. the girls were all pretty wiped out from a busy day so we headed back to the Park Hyatt after about half an hour at AU, and chilled there. Fruster and Andrews came back with a gaggle of females from the club and we had a party in a couple of the rooms. i ended up sleeping on the floor, fruster, andrews, andrews fell asleep in various areas with different girls.

we woke up saturday morning and taped from around 12-5ish. after the taping, we all had some food, then prepared for the night. andrews p and i went back to AU to meet up with the girls soccer team at their house for the freshman initiation onto the team party and andrews j and fruster headed back out to the club. we had about an hour long pre-game party with some of Fruster's girls before we headed out, some sex occured, and then we headed out for the night. We drank at the party and i went back to gabrielle's dorm and andrews came back to the Park Hyatt (when he ordered the two bottles of liqour). Fruster and andrews j came back later that night, no females in the hotel tho b/c they all had delays coming back from the club and decided on going home. I came back sunday morning, met up with the group and we finished some of the tickling assignments and drank throughout the day.

Upon check out, us 4 met up with bliudzius, whose fiance had flown back home, and hung out for a while. we decided on heading back to the Park Hyatt, and i gave them my card and said any charges for that night were to go to my card. (i'll take care of the apparent $100 mini-bar charge this weekend) we ate at the restaurant in the hotel lobby, drank, and flirted with the waitress who was serving us. she laughed, and did not appear offended by any of us. we (andrews p, bliudzius, and myself as fruster / andrews j had already left) went back up to the room and considered sleeping there, but decided on going back to the barracks at around 1:30am. we grabbed josh's truck and drove back, where i met up with my team / squad leader (cloud) and he proceeded to give me a haircut and we talked for about 30-45 minutes, then i headed back to my room and racked out.

that morning, my alarm went off at 5, but i was woken up by being dragged out of bed by corporal bailey at 5:37. that morning the platoon guides (cpl's bailey and williams) noticed my drill was a little off, and andrews p appeared a little under the weather. they smelled the vodka and red bulls on our breath and told us, in no uncertain terms, that underage drinking on work nights was not acceptable and that we would be dealt with accordingly.

let me know what else you need, if anything
