Bret's Bachelor Party

On Thursday May 31, 2001, my good friend Bret Welstead had a bachelor party (his wedding was June 2). We had a great time with Bret, and had a little fun with him as well.

No bachelor party is complete without a guy dressed up in red tights, external boxer shorts, a nerd button-down, and a cape fashioned from a towel, right? You're correct, so we dressed Bret up in this highly modern fashion.

We blindfolded him (all our bachelor parties are a surprise) and took him to Greg's Drive-In in Lincoln, so that he could perform a surprise, impromptu concert for about 30 friends (Tracie's bachelorette party secretly took her here for a surprise, as well, so the girls were able to witness the concert).

Bret and brother Ben performed around seven songs that they have written, and they sounded great.

Then, we reblindfolded him, and took him to downtown Lincoln, where we covered him with stinky catfish bait (he smelt real good). Here Bret is minutes before we actually cover him with the nasty stuff. He looks happy now, and we aren't afraid to get close to him. Notice Ben (far right) reaching for the bottle of nasty liquid in his pocket.

We led Bret, stinky and blindfolded to Ya-Ya's (a Lincoln bar) and made him walk around in that ridiculous outfit, smelling like a pig farm. We played Foozball and Pool and talked and stuff.

After that, we were feeling frisky and we had the bright idea of having Bret jump over a local pool's fence and jump off the high dive (in his ridiculous outfit). We took many precautions...parked in an unlighted parking lot, ran through the shadows, etc. Just as Bret was going to go over the fence, we saw a spotlight shining in the general area. A COP CAR! We started running (I don't know why, we hadn't done anything YET), and the cop started circling the park, shining that blasted spotlight, looking for us. We hid behind the wall of a tennis court, and the cop got bored and left.
