So to be quite honest, a picture and video are worth a thousand words so there isn’t a need to give a lengthy recap of the rest of the weekend. But I can sum it up with a list. And of course, if you partied with me this weekend you surely know how crazy it was:

• Candles catching all kinds of things on fire at house parties. Do you really need like 100 candles lit in your house?
• Endless champagne
• The most wonderful spread at Zaytinya
• Missing the fuzz @ Warehouse
  
• Mojito’s @ Mate
• Silent grub @ 1905
• Loosing my hearing at Ora’s and then the next day at 9:30 Club
• Not understanding a word Adele said the entire concert
• Stryk’s leather pants @ MOBY concert and loosing power
• Waking up with base still booming in my ears, but my house was completely silent
• Skipping parties we bought tickets to. Opps. What a waste. But you gotta prioritize.
• Getting a wake up nudge at 7:30 a.m. with “Jade, can you take us to the Inauguration, we wanna go?” and me replying “Are you nuts?”
• Deboarding our train at Rhode Island with me thinking “We got kicked-off in the hood.”
• Church vans saving the day and driving us to Union Station only for me to say “Walk that way” to my buds and jumping in a car to get the hell away from the Capitol
• Watching the craziness from Amit’s roof on 14^th and K.
• Watching the parade from the warmth of his office while Kristen and Konavis refused to come up. You kids were nuts.
• Tony not wearing a jacket and replying “It’s North Face, it’s warm”
• Yummy shrimp with their eyes still attached @ Jaleo
• Pre-gaming all weekend
• Hot pink tights and rabbit lined hats
• Wonderball. Enough said.
• Christina a.k.a. hop-along making the trek into DC and refusing to use her cructches. I believe her exact words were “I’m having surgery in 2 weeks so it doesn’t matter if I screw my knee up more.” Realllllllll smart
• “Is Jade ok?” “Oh yeah she’s fine” (As they look over and get an eyeful) “Are you sure” “Ok well maybe not”
• 3 hours of sleep and counting yet still making it to work on time on Wednesday.
