Hungover on a Saturday Afternoon

So i get home at around noon after crashing on Michelle's futon for the night. The Oilers play an early afternoon game today and hope they can take the lead in the series. I didn't end up going to too many places last night so recalling everything won't be too difficult.

Friday started out a little late. I get up around 1 and decide that i need to head back to school one last time to get all my shit from my locker. I take my books to the bookstore since they are doing buy backs around this time for september. Alas, the U of A found one last way to screw me. The lady said they were offering 11 bux for one book, i told her it wasn't worth it and i'd rather keep it. For the other book they said there was going to be a new edition for next term so they weren't even buying them back, i paid 120 bux for that book back in january, and i barely used the damn thing.

I get home around 6 and grab some dinner. Ryan calls me and tells me he wants me to come with him to give out these passes for a firefighter after party at the Bank. I don't really want to go but i agree to help. Ryan comes over at like 9:30 and tells me we have to burn some time before we get his buddy. This allows me some time to crack a couple more beers before we go.

We finally get to the Bank at around 10:45. I had only been to the Bank only once before and it had been on a wednesday night. On wednesday nights they have a dollar drink special for ladies and 3 bux for everyone else, on all drinks. Tonight i didn't expect it to be as busy as then but busy nonetheless. Inside wasn't impressed on the lack of people here. Ryan's buddy wasn't happy either, we had to give these passes out to hot girls after all, and no one was here. Ryan and i didn't have much success giving these out, and after about half an hour and a guiness later we all head to Globe and hope to pass out more there. We avoid the massive line telling them we are fire fighters there to do some promo work. I'm surely not a firefighter but they let me in anyway. We don't even try to give any passes out, instead we head to a beer tub girl that ryan and his buddy know and tell her to give them out to hot girls. We leave 20 minutes later.

I call Pannich and he tells me him and Ross and Adriano are at Savoy. Other people were supposed to be on Whyte as well so i think we can get a crowd together tonight. Ryan and his friend aren't really in the mood to stay out so they just drop me off in front of Savoy. Marco and Steve are supposed to have 2 stops on whyte since they are on a pub crawl, and Jessie is at the Ironhorse with some family, but for now i was with Pannich Ross and Adriano. Savoy is a place i had always enjoyed up until a time when i was there with Jessie and the waitress accused us of running out on a bill the night before. Since then we took a leave from absence from that place. It was only recently that i started going back, i don't think that waitress works there anymore.

Inside I see Ross holding this monolithic glass in his hand. It can only be Hoegarrden. This beer is designed to be served in this massive glass, it probably amounts to about a pint and a half of beer. The beer itself has a yellow green color to it. It has little carbonation and has a mild taste. Easy to drink and easy to get drunk from. Adriano decides to get me a congratulatory Hoegarrden, after having one himself. By this time i can tell that Pannich and Ross are both pissed drunk. Adriano on the other hand was the driver. We aren't in there long and after Ross and I polish off our beers we leave. I receive a text from my buddie Nick Knight, he's at Cook County and we decide to head there.

Whyte, like the night before was really busy and there were crowds everywhere. In particular was a crowd at the corner of Hudsons. For some reason there was this fat nasty native chick dancing on the corner. She was dressed very skimpy and was disgusting to watch. I wanted to document this event on my camera phone but this chick made me feel bad about it. She asked me why i wanted to video it, i replied "because it was funny". She then continued on this rant i tuned around at this point and walked away, the video wasn't worth listening to this self righteous bitch. Up the block i'm surprised to see that there is not much of a line at Cook County. While we were at the door for some reason i decided i didn't want to go in, the others agreed and we left. We made our way back to whyte. It as at this time that Michelle called me. She had been at BP's downtown getting drunk with some of her accounting friends. I guess it was the end of tax seasson, at least thats the only reason i could think of that would make them drink so heavily. I told her to meet us at Stolis, even though i knew we probably wouldn't be in there. Its better then saying "yeah we don't know where we are gonna go" so you tell them meet somewhere arbitary and when they go there and they call you, tell them where you actually are at the time. Somehow the walk from Cook County to the corner at second cup was enough time for Michelle and her friend Rebecca to get to Stolis. So when i received their call we waited for them across the street. Besides Ross had to piss in the ally and Pannich went to vommit. We decide to hit up some place that wasn't too loud so we go to Devlins.

Inside it wasn't busy at all so we had our pick of seats. It was at this time that Marco and Steve decide to join us. Their last stop on the pub crawl was at Bar Wild so they decided to ditch that shit box and come get more drunk with us. Not much happend at Devlins i had two triple martinis which was pretty much enough to put me over the edge. Michelle was drunk already, i don't think i've seen her really drunk before tonight. Ross was talking to Michelle the whole time we were there so i kept Rebecca company, which i was more then happy to do. The rest of the boys sat at a booth drinking their martinis. I was unaware of the time but they were shutting the bar down and they were kicking us out. Adriano was the only driver so we had to cram all of us in there sans Rebecca. She went to meet some other friends. As we cross the river going north we decide we are in the mood for some late night Dennys.

As we drive up the hill we see this caddie drive up next to us. Their windows are down as are all of ours and some words were exchanged. I can't remember what was said but they seemed to take offence. Marco mentioned that they were croatians something about him beating up one of the guys in the cars brother. They decide to follow us to the Dennys parking lot, which was a pretty stupid idea since there are 5 of us and two of these croat homeboys. We park and we all get out and start yelling at them. The passenger seems enraged at Ross, and proceeds to step out of the car. I thought the croat was dumb enough to take a swing at Ross, the result of which would be 4 guys stepping in and stomping this bitch in. I didnt' really want to see things escalate and told him to get back in the car and drive the fuck home. He complied much to the chagrin of of Marco since he was ready throw his weight around. We go inside Dennys and take a look at the wait, almost instantly Adriano says "lets go". So we head out. Ross and I head back to Michelles apartment with her and the rest are taken home by adriano. Her apartment was a couple blocks away but the weather was perfect for a drunken walk. Somewhere around her building ross dissappears to piss, and I end up peeing on the wall of this building which i would identify to Ross and Michelle the next day.

Inside her place we end up just sitting around watching something on tv. I'm still hungry and we brainstorm some food ideas. At time of night nothing would be open. So i decided i would make use of Michelle's kitchen. I open up the fridge and make use of whatever i can : some chicken breast, snow peas, onion, garlic, some frozen noodles. In about 10 minutes i had turned her kitchen into a disaster area but more importantly i had fried up some tasty noodles, Ross would agree. I tried to clean up as best i could but from what i was told i didn't do a good job. Ross and i would have to share the lumpy futon, but i wasn't about to complain since it was better then the floor. I believe we got to sleep around 5:30. We were awaken by my cell phone at like 9:30 which i failed to answer, mostly due to my disinterest in talking to Pannich while my head was thumping. Ross turned the NFL draft on and i tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. We left her place at around noon. The car ride home was terrible, and i felt disoriented the whole time. I couldn't imagine being Ross and having to drive himself home to the Park.

All in all it was a fun night and an awful morning. The game will be good and i hope we can take this one. All i know is that i'm going to do it all again later tonight.
