Saturday and Sunday Agenda

My head hurts.

And maybe yers does too. We are at the halfway point of this event and....one sec, gotta hurl......

OK. Where was I? Halfway, yes. This late e-mail is to remind you of tonight's event at El Chi's Bar located in the old Bakery building. This event is for 89ers only from 6:30pm to about 6:30-9pm. It is my understanding that this is a reunion tradition to have an event solely of yer bastard classmates and leaving the better half somewhere else. Wait, you are 89ers, YOU are the better half. At least for four days. So far I've collected a lot of $20s to pay for tonight and if not I hope yall will couch up some. Big ups to Andrew Elmer for kickin' in extra. That's a hint, people. 

I have no planned speech or anything still so feel free to grab the m-i-c and get busy. I've invited a few teachers from the past so maybe they'll rock it as well. 

After El Chi's you are on yer own as to where to go and what to do. Last night was brutal so you get a free pass if you can't hang another night. 

Sunday we are headed to White Sands Beach at the end of the now paved Monashka Bay highway (past The Duke). This starts at noon and goes til whenever. The weather forecast is favorable but if Hurricane LeDoux blows in and dampens things I have the bowling alley lined up as a back-up. Call the 89ers Hotline at 486-0971 if you have questions on what the hell is going, what you should wear, and how to fillet a salmon with an ulu. BYOP: Bring Yer Own Picnic. In fact you might want to do this before Saturday night. 

Good luck and good fishing,

Nick Sandin

The Friday Agenda

Assuming you survive Thursday night and don't have third degree burns from pallet ash...the party continues. With the powers vested me by Pres. Anne Marie I give you all the daytime to play golf at Bear Valley, charter fish, go to museums (the War Museum in the big bunker at Ft. Abercrombie is really cool. Plus, all of our graffiti has been cleaned up). Those looking for a bite I suggest the Powerhouse lunch box lunches located under the bridge on Tagura Road. I'm not kidding about this. The 1/3 pound burger at the Comfort Inn (Buskin River Inn where you acted like a total whore after Snowball) is the best in town. Martha's outside the Elks in the patty wagon has the best Mexican food this side of Canada. 

 Then if you brought family and wanna d o the family tahng with yer fellow 89ers, Aaron walton has been kind enough to open up his home to us out in Bell's Flats. Who is Bell and why did they get the whole place named after them? Anywho....

The Walton House

12364 Russian Loop Road 

4pm to 7pm

 

Simple directions, lets see...

 

Drive to Bells Flats, turn right on Russian Creek Rd.  (by the "Speedie Kraft" store) and follow the pavement.  Turn right at the Panamaroff Park (stay of the asphalt) and continue following the pavement up the hill.  After the 'S' turn you will see the bus stop on the left. Stay on the main road and 500 ft down is Russian Loop Road on the right.  I will have signs or balloons or something to lead the way. It is a blue house about two Cory Johnson's tall. I wish he was coming, he's a great guy. 

Lost? You can call Aaron at....

539-2609 cell

487-2180 home

486-4008 work

For the those who put drinkin' before family, like me, the other event starts at 6:30pm at 

Kodiak Island Brewing Co.

338 Shelikof Ave.

(907) 486-ALES (2537)

They close at 7pm so don't be late. If we are lucky the owner or his slave will give us a quickie....tour. Unlike a lot of small towns with local breweries, ours actually makes really good beer. Not that watered down Rock Bottom crap, heeeeeeeell no. Liquid Sunshine is the standard Kodiak cold one, like Guinness is to Ireland. The new Sarah Pale Ale (or as a friend calls it, Bailin' Palin Fail Ale) isn't just a gimmick, it is less filling and tastes great. I stole that from somewhere. 

From the Brewery we shall start our rapid assault of the downtown bar scene. I don't feel this is something that can be planned and if so the plan most likely would be abandoned so I can't say what order and for how long we will be at the other bars. Let's just try to hit Henry's (Solly's in 1989) first and go from there. Those of you playing catch up probably won't have a hard time finding us by trial and error since all the bars are fairly close together and we can skip El Chi's (in what was The Bakery when you got yer diploma) since we'll be doing the dinner there on Saturday. 

Oh, this event is open to you and yer lover, homies, or rented date from Spenard. And if you ain't got nobody like David Lee Roth that's cool too. It's Kodiak, you might be better off alone.

Then : Now

Solly's : Henry's

The Village: The Village but it too is bigger and has Big Buck Hunter.

The Breakers: Bernie's. They do that drunk singing thing there that begins with a K but I can't say it. Full of coasties.

The Mecca: "Hell"... due to a altercation there two years ago I will not be joining yall at this point. 

Beachcombers: Salvation Army. The drinks REALLY SUCK! 

Anchor Bar: extinct

B&B : B&B. Where I'll B when you are at the Mecca. 

DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. That is for teens! You are old and wiser now. Call SuperDave. Or walk. 

* Note that Crab Festival Rules are in effect for this event. Those of you unfamiliar they are

1. Low Expectations

2. Stay Drunk

Rule 3. Go to Homer for the weekend if possible, does not apply in this case. 

 

** Also note I'm off the market so when you get yer beer goggles on don't try to get in my sexy ass pants cuz you will get no where. I will be hard to resist, I know, I'm hotter than Mr. Platt's sixth cup of morning coffee but hands off. That goes double for you, Leonel. 

The Thursday Agenda

(YES, THIS IS THE SAME AS AN E-MAIL I SENT, SO WHAT) 

OK, I have ten pallets in my garage and I just got an e-mail saying my Seahawks season tickets are on the way. 

And it quit raining. 

Today is awesome. 

Now I'm waiting for the sun to go down to target higher risk pallets at various locations around town. 

Anywho, Thursday we party. 

The action starts for families at the USCG base pool at 1pm. I've arranged to have the pool to ourselves with no coastie brats in sight for an hour and a half so townies should skip work and bring yer lil monsters. I can recommend hitting the MWR Pizza Parlor for a slice of pie or real ice cream afterwards, located next to the pool. The base pool is located where the totem pole is/was, where the pizza parlor was 20 years ago. Cross the runway and take the sharp right (but not on the runway of course), go about 300 yards and it is to yer left, right before the Biliken Theater. I wasn't able to confirm the bus yet but either way I'll be at the Food 4 Less (what you called Krafts) parking lot downtown at 12:30pm. If you see a short bus sittin' on 20's, that's me. 

At 8pm Alaska Standard Time we shall ditch the kids and make our way to the Best Western (what you called the K.I., Westmark, Sheffield, etc) to the bar located on the second floor which is part of the Chartroom Restaurant that overlooks nothing but the top of Sutliffs. Its a comfy spot and not on our Friday bar crawl agenda. After destroying the place like Tommy Lee on coke and Red Bull we shall relocate to the old Rodeo Grounds beach about nine miles out of town to burn all the pallets I have in my garage and make Boyd happy. This is BRING YER OWN BOOZAHOL. For. Reals. You get extra points if you bring Rainier. You can hit the Safeway liquor store on the mall before heading out. It is open til midnight I believe. I like Crown Royal. Hint. Actually I will most likely be driving loads of pallets back and forth from my stash spot in the Flats and might not partake. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. There are pigs and they are deep on The Rock. Troopers, Base Swine, KPD, don't take a chance. Carry extra cash and call a cab. In fact, because I love you, I've notified my own personal cab to be on alert that night. 

Write this down.

Cab #4: 2008 GMC Yukon XL (very new and holds a gang of mofos)

"Super Dave" David Barker

cell 539-5002

He will drive to the beach and back. He knows we are there. He's got me home in one piece 1000 times (most of those times were weekends). 

Otherwise you can call the cab company at 486-4343. 

I have no idea how long we'll stay out there but since we are old now probably not 5am. 

I will send the Friday agenda tomorrow/Wednesday or go to www.kodiak89.com as usual. 

Take pictures!
