So it’s January again and it’s time once again for another all out redneck party for Holly’s Birthday. This time we all decided to hit up the Monster Truck Rally down at the Georgia Dome here in Atlanta.   The girl’s also planned a special present in bringing our old friend Mandi down from Michigan for a surprise visit.  It all turned out great and was full of good times great memories.

The Friday before the Rally, Priscilla, Meghan, Holly, Serina, Alex and Mandi had a girls night at the house to start things off right.  A night of preparation and wine ensued.  I cannot comment further as I am not allowed to know anything that happens at “Girl’s Night”

The Monster Truck Rally started at 7:30pm so, of coarse, the girls threw a kegger at 3:00pm to get everyone pumped up.  Priscilla and I surprisingly arrived on time only to be the first ones there.  Yeppie, more beer for me.  Not really as I remembered it was 3:30, but I poured one anyway.  I didn’t want it to go to waste.  Plus Meaghan worked so hard at getting the level of CO2 just right.  After five minutes of watching my foam go down, the fun began.  

Priscilla had gone all out and created her own t-shirt that read “Wanna Crank My Tractor?”  I’m not sure what that means, but as her husband I’m not sure I should approve.  But whatever.  I went with the more traditional look decked out in all Camo with a long sleeve camouflage shirt, a camouflage hat and my nice Banana Republic jeans.  (they were the tightest ones I had)  I added a mullet wig later thanks to Jo.  We looked pretty awesome.

People started to arrive slowly and five people soon became 30.  The jello shots were flowing along with the apricot Moonshine that was in every way the “Real Deal”.  Later in the night I tried to eat on of the floating apricots only to spit it out.  (it tasted like ass)  Anyway, most people dressed up so, as you can imagine, the party was one incredible sight to see.  Around 6:30 we all caravaned down the street to the MARTA to take the train down to the Georgia Dome.

On the MARTA I got a lot of looks from freaked out children that couldn’t figure out if my mullet was real or not.  I thought it was pretty funny.  Once we arrived we got our tickets and made our way up to the upper upper deck of the Dome.  The seats were cheap and in the “Nose Bleeds” yet they were decent considering you could see everything at once.  The trucks were pretty damn big if you know what I mean.

I was definitely disappointed that they didn’t crush more cars and the fact that there was no fire breathing robot dragon, but all in all, it was fun.  The giant trucks drove around in circles and jumped off ridiculously high jumps only to destroy themselves in the process.  At one point one truck lost his front wheel and still made it around the track several times before he flipped.  It was pretty entertaining.

At the end of the show we took a few pics down below and made our way back to the MARTA.  Once we got home we drank more beer and went to sleep.  Like I said it was a good time and I can’t wait to go again some time.  Maybe next year there will be a dragon.
