Another crazy Commerce weekend. Do these guys ever stop?

I had been invited to go to the John Molson Sports Marketing Pub Crawl on Friday night, but something told me I wouldn't want to miss any part of the Commerce Games Spirit Weekend. Especially since there was a full moon.

The crew from the International Business Team (Chantal Beaudoin, Myles Hiscock, and myself) headed up together on Friday night. Our carload was rounded out with Jean-Philippe Brisebois, a party-minded Finance major and roommate with Myles.

Sweet tunes by Bob Marley, and Cypress Hill kept us in party mode on the drive up. We stayed at the Chanteclair Chalets in Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, and Chantal was particularly impressed with the quality of the accommodations. We were set up with cable TV, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, and all the appliances and amenities you could think of (except for a damn broom).

Most of the early arrivals were half-naked playing Strip Poker when we showed up. Did you guys spend the entire afternoon and evening drinking before we even arrived? Eric Blanchette (Entrepreneurship & JMCC Prez) - did you polish off that bottle of vodka you were dancing with? :)

This one crazy lunatic wearing a Burger King crown ... yeah - Dustin Ciarla. Man you were getting loopy...! And one couple left a sock on the door to make sure we knew which room was theirs. Jalal (last year's JMCC Prez) wanted to check just to make sure.

My funnel made its presence known in the Sports Chalet -  somehow taking my shirt off seemed to make the beer go down easier. I was competing against this dude from the Sports Team (was it Mike?). He kept calling me Sunshine from "Remember the Titans". Somehow I managed to successfully take all the beer in. I once tried to show Georgia Melonas (ICBC) how to funnel and instead spilled the entire beer all over myself - that was at the UBG house party in September.

There was one crew playing football when I returned, and another watching the Concordia-Laval provincial champs. We got our asses whipped. Final score: 59 to 7 for Laval.

Saturday night was slightly subdued. Many left early to head back to Montreal, or were so trashed from Friday that the collective energy was sapped. A few enthusiasts colluded to topple Georgia Melonas - they're planning on making t-shirts? Did you snap any Before/After photos of Lana Bukvic (Academic Alternate)? Tania Konczynski (JMCC Exec) - you have an infectious smile!

There were some gung-ho card-players in the house. I sent Vishal packing in a game of Asshole, and I heard Michael Marcotte (Academic Alternate) cleaned up in Blackjack. A bottle of Canadian Club was being passed around - who brought that sweet elixir? Oh - and check out the whack photo of Luigi in his leopard housecoat.

Did everyone get a chance to see the lunar eclipse? I was chilling on the dock by the lake with Mireille Signori (Entrepreneurship) and Isabel Chan (ICBC). The moon went from shining bright white to a strange shade of grey-red. At the culmination of the show, four loons almost went unnoticed as they swam past the dock. Good eye - Mireille! And why won't anyone believe I saw a UFO? :)

Myles - thanks for the ride up and the ride back
Eric - I still owe you a hot dog, haha
Dustin - you the man
Mireille - thanks for finding my wallet
Jalal - props to you bro for the chill music at the IBIZ chalet
Sabina and crew -  your smiles and your grub kept me in tip-top shape
Thanks to the execs at JMCC for making it all happen. 

By the way - did you know that Myles played the bagpipes as a child?
