Epic Status Des Moines, IA Photoblog - ADD TO FAVORITES

We celebrated Heather’s birthday.  We went to La Hacienda, next a small bar on the south side of Des Moines named Josepe’s, then to Wellman’s Pub on Ingersoll ave.

La Hacienda Margarita

Gigantic margaritas make everything blurry.  It’s hard to tell the size of the margarita from the picture but it was huge.  They had 3 or 4 sizes to pick from and we figured it would be cheapest to get the biggest one instead of ordering multiple small ones.  This glass could probably fit 2/3 of a whole pitcher.

 

Mexican Food in Des Moines

 Quatros Amigos, they gathered to sing Heather a birthday serenade.  The song was lovely, but we have no clue what it said.  They could have been singing “…and you stupid Americans can’t even pronounce the menu right, it’s (fah-he-tah) not (fah-jie-tah).”  I wonder what the English translation of the Mexican birthday song is.  I’m very curious to hear if it’s similar to ours or not.  Chime in at the comment box if you know.

 

Bar

 Steve says “what up.”  We don’t see him too much lately.  He gets bored at bars so he doesn’t go very often.

 

Steve doesn’t like the camera

 He hates cameras.  Many people are uncomfortable with getting their picture taken.  I’ve noticed that people think they have to pose for pictures.  As soon as they see someone with a camera up, they stare and smile like they’ve always done.  It’s ok to take some posed (fake) shots, but in general I don’t care for them.  I like to catch real emotions and situations when possible.  This was Steve’s real reaction to my paparazzi style.

Everyone else is drunk

 I was the only sober one… just kidding.

 

The gals

Cherish changed the camera settings to some weird electronic blue filter mode.  The gals are cracking up about something.  We are now at Wellman’s Pub on Ingersoll Avenue.

 How about some sexy poses?

 

Light up a tampon

I’m not quite sure if tampons are as enjoyable to smoke as cigarettes.

Biting her straw, “tee-hee.”

Brad, good pose

Great pose, too bad it’s a blur.

 Not sure what the idea behind this was.  Everyone is doing a different thing.

Cherish self portrait

 Cherish took this of herself, unintentionally.  I like.
