B. Namoff
So, this weekend I am attending Bryan Namoff’s wedding down in Charlottesville, VA. It is going to be a lot of fun. I have heard rumors that Steven Guppy is going to be in attendance, which is always an awesome experience.
About two weeks after the season ended, I threw a party for Namoff. It was kind of like a DC version of a bachelor party, but not a traditional bachelor party (which actually took place in Chicago – I did not attend). It was more like a bar crawl. I mean, if it is something I am involved with, let’s be honest – there is nothing traditional about it. I had shirts made by a friend of mine at ProCasual. And everyone in the group had to wear a silly hat. Between my roommate and me, we found enough silly hats to accommodate all. It was a fun night with a lot of teammates roaming around.
But now, it is time to be serious. It is wedding time. It is also the first time I have to buy a wedding gift. Good thing Burch is staying with me again in DC, because I was planning on getting them a bathroom reader, but APPARENTLY that isn’t appropriate. Maybe they would like a BobbyBoswell.com t-shirt. Well, enjoy your weekend. I know I sure will.

Bobby Boswell is the Edward Steichen of bachelor party photographers! This straightforward composition perfectly captures the existential torment of a bachelor party. Names’ vapid and carefree party gaze is clearly betrayed by the “caution” his mind feels about marriage. Disco Rod’s haunting gaze begs us to consider our own fate. “Are YOU willing to abandon your single lifestyle?” he asks. And all of this occurs in a simple domestic setting with classic Greek Chorus in the background cheering for free will . . . or perhaps Virginia Tech. Same thing really.
Bravo, Bobby! Bravo!

Bryan as an OTC is classic.

I don’t understand the problem. I gave my brother a bathroom reader for Christmas last year and he loved it. Guess what he’s getting this year? Very thoughtful of you, seemed to me.

Namoff is awesome, so why don’t you put stuff up about him more, hmm?

So THAT’S where OTC has been!
The mystery is solved.

Is Namoff holding DAS BOOT? Make sure he turns the glass when the bottle tries to escape!

I was wondering where my pimp hat went… tell him I want it back.

Okay, well, uh… candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she’s registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern.
