labor day weekend

saturday, august 31, 2002

even though it's a rain-soaked weekend, the group pushes into a fun saturday night with a relatively early dinner at park slope's chip shop.

out-of-towners shawn and jeremy join marc and jamie in standing in front of authentic new york city graffiti.

sarah and shawn try to set a record for fried food intake and british beverage consumption.

dan dunks a chip into a cup of gravy as jamie forges ahead with his meal (knowing the fried twinkie looms on the horizon).

delicious fried twinkies are only part of the dessert options at the chip shop. jamie swallows with glee as he enjoys a bite of the deep fried twix bar.

allowing little time for dinner to settle, the gang rushes into sunset park for bowling at melody lanes.

jeremy and sarah prove they're capable of throwing strikes.

jamie and jeremy - unwilling to accept losing the first game to a team composed of dan, sarah and marc.

shawn's second game falls apart, but she scores high on style points.,

jamie demonstrates his approach and release tactics.

shawn and sarah bowl with a ball that once belonged to someone named sheila.

pretending he's on the ski slopes, dan uses his patented telemark release.

after bowling, it's time to seek out a bar in the home neighborhood. jeremy nearly collides with a tree after free style walking on the back of the bench.

dan pretends to be grouchy. sarah poses for the camera, hoping to be discovered before the second season of 'american idol' begins.
