I&#8217;d also like to thank Jan Lyk and Joanna for inviting me to their house warming party. I apologize beforehand for taking such crappy pictures, but there were others who took much nicer pictures than me.<\/p>\n<p>As always, there&#8217;s tons of yummy food at Ryan&#8217;s and Angel&#8217;s and of course the desserts are the best part. The grilled asparagus comes to a close second. We chatted and played Rock Band. I was then introduced to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Games-Times-UP-Deluxe\/dp\/B001ECKJJ0\/\">Time&#8217;s Up<\/a>, a mixture of charades\/taboo which was really fun. Unfortunately my team lost big time as I&#8217;m not that familiar with pop culture (nor the inside jokes apparently), but it was really fun. I&#8217;ve always been a big fan of charades and pictionary and other team guessing games.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan made me an <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/wiki\/Old_Fashioned\">Old Fashioned<\/a> and for some reason, I thought the drink was way too thick. By thick, I mean it had a high viscosity and I didn&#8217;t particularly like that. I kept on adding ice to it, and it helped a bit. I felt like it had a consistency of syrup, but maybe that was because it was so sweet. When I was at Jan Lyk&#8217;s, I had a couple glasses of whiskey on the rocks and found that to be much more enjoyable. Though apparently it&#8217;s a sin to have Johnny Walker Gold w\/ ice. Maybe next time I&#8217;ll have it straight up.<\/p>\n<p>I left Ryan&#8217;s around 7:45pm, but not before I had a spoonful of their homemade vanilla bean ice cream (which was awesome!).<\/p>\n<p>By the time I got to Jan Lyk&#8217;s, it was pretty much a full house already. Jan Lyk&#8217;s new place is really sweet! I think they really have great taste in design and furniture. What&#8217;s missing right now is a giant TV in their living room.<\/p>\n<p>So Jan Lyk was also having a BBQ at his party and apparently this was a Brazilian BBQ in contrast to the American one at Ryan&#8217;s. The difference is American BBQs typically comprise of hamburgers and hot dogs, while Brazilian ones comprise of racks of meat. I was pretty full by the time I got to Jan Lyk&#8217;s party, but I couldn&#8217;t pass up on medium rare filet mignon. There was also chicken, racks of lamb, racks of beef, and probably some pork also.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0022.jpg\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0024.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3028\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"Kitchen\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0024-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0024-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0024-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0024.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Later in the evening we went up to his roof to watch the fireworks going off at Gasworks Park. We had a pretty good view, besides the fact there was a nude guy across the street walking around his apartment with his blinds opened. I did miss blowing up fireworks at Ryan&#8217;s since I love being a little pyromaniac. Plus they usually have ones that shoot up like 20ft into the air which is just awesome. Maybe next year.<\/p>\n<p>At Jan Lyk&#8217;s, I noticed this funky chalkboard clock and I mentioned to Aurash that he should fix the rooster:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0022.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3026\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"Clock Chalkboard\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0022-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"Clock Chalkboard\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0022-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0022-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Photo-0022.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After speaking with Joana, she explained why there was a rooster. <strong>See if you can figure out why there&#8217;s a rooster on the clock.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I met a bunch of new people and we chatted quite a bit and everyone was having a swell time.
