buttercups armpaint stands for ‘democratic republic of columbus’. very patriotic

hey there marshall

this is andrew. he’s mike’s roomate and a talented human being. he is stretching for what we called roof quidditch, then roof hockey and then roof curling. in the end, the game simply became known as ROOF

ana, shaun, and mike in front of ‘the walls of quickshit’

ana standing in front of a statue of archibold washington who came up with  the term ‘quickshit’ in 1865

on the ferry to liberty island. the vip section was crowded so we had to settle for the bottom level

shaun cannot wait to see if the statue of liberty is hot irl

these guys are standing in front of the liberty bike. it’s only going to be on liberty island for two years so we lucked out. mike was super excited to do this pose. 

the only reason we wanted to visit liberty island was for the food. it tasted like freedom

after 2 failed attempts (including running after her), we found this woman whom we deemed ‘liberty girl.’ it was an amazing experience that we will never forget. peep her homemade outfit and torch. mike’s doing his favorite pose. ana is intimidated by liberty girl’s charisma

ana said she was feeling the freedom as she approached the statue of liberty. this is the statue of liberty coming out of ana’s head

the statue of liberty has moved away from ana and is now coming out of shaun

the statue of liberty is coming out of mike’s head now

ana was feeling suicidal in this photo

mike said this giant seagull was eyeing me. it’s always the giant ones

waiting for the ferry back to the city and having in depth discussions about liberty girl. we came to the conclusion that she’s the statue of liberty come to life and that she only does this once every 200 years

we made it to vip! mike said his favorite moment on liberty island was ‘the giant seagull’

ana said her favorite part of liberty island was when ‘the statue of liberty came outta my head’

shaun said his favorite moment on liberty island was ‘seeing the employee housing’

stopped in front of a cemetery on the way to the subway. i thought internet people liked cemeteries?

this was a very fun time. was great to meet so many people and get to know them better. was nice sweating in the scorching heat and getting drunk with you guys
