    IF YOU DONT HAVE THE FACEBOOK INVITE:::::
    if you cant make the dinner but want to meet us out after just text me and i will let you know where we are – 646-573-0511……***this is keller’s number so feel free to prank call him as much as possible throughout the day***
    …But in all seriousness, if you are any what interested in free handstanding push ups, meat carnivoring, and straight up manliness, please reference instructor Jeff Yan or Arnold (Governor of Cali) or Sly Stallone for best ways to obtain such feats…
    on a flip side, shots, brews, belly fat, mixed drinks, car bombs, regular man desires, crazing speedo desiring women, and costume combos (which are all guaranteed obtainable within 1 night) are good excuses to be buzzed… come and start drinking before 10 AM…(please refer to Mike Mishik at this point if you have troubles with manliness or speedos) also if your confused at where the parenthesis ) began and end ( you can go run around in circles… and buy Keller a drink, followed by Mishik a car bomb….
    So don’t feel left out…buy me a drink or your neighbor and I’m sure we’ll make friends. Lets make sure Saturday is something to forget/remember… or in better spirits…not even know about

    At some point Mishik is going to pick himself up off his keyboard and realize that he is not actually a digital image of his residual self.
