The night began in my basement. I would receive an afternoon call from ryan suggesting that we should get crazy tonight. I told him that we should get started at my house and go it from there. Ryan brings an assortment of alcohol left over from previous outings, a half bottle of captain morgan, two shox, a bottle of strongbow, and a bottle of sleemans i think. I take a look in my bar and the only thing i discover worth drinking is a third of a bottle of grey goose. Being grey goose i thought i wouldn't want to waste the quality in a drink like a screwdriver so i bust out the cocktail shaker and decide on a martini type drink. The only mix i had was some grape juice, so into the shaker it went with some ice and a whole lot of vodka. The mix although strong did not taste bad. Ryan would not agree, he would whine to me that for some reason the drink "feels like it is fucking with my head." Denny arrives and starts to pound back his usual jack daniels. Soon after we are off to lakeview pub

Location: Lakeview pub
Time: 9:30 ish

We walk inside and it doesn't seem to have changed since much since i had been there last, when it was still known as dougs place. I believe that it was for some u-14 soccer party thing. Pat, Fran, jessie, katie and pam were already there. Adriano , ross, lindsey brenna and jessie would join us very soon after. Ryan and i agreed we would split a jug of big rock, i ended up drinking the majority of it though. By mere coincidence we find out that katies friend Angela would be there as well for one of her friends birthday. I wonder who has a birthday there anyways. We don't stay long and i catch a ride with adriano and ross down to whyte ave. The others would soon follow, but Katies passengers - smith and denny took some time getting down there, from what i hear there was some disscussion between angela and ryan that was upsetting to her. Nothing i can really elaborate on, nothing really interesting either.

Location: Savoy
Time: 11ish

The bluk of the group arrive together and we decide that Savoy would probably be the best place to hang out for the night. We manage to find a table near the back that would seat us all. Savoy is one of the few places in the city that serve hoegarrden in draft form in its natural massive glass, so i don't turn down the opportunity and get one for myself and ross. It didn't seem like tonight was the kind of night that people were going to get crazy, i think there was too many of us to do that. The time spent in savoy was spent doing what most people who go to savoy do. Lounge. Throughout the night adriano had been in contact with dave and justin. They decided to make the drive out to whyte from jox to meet us. I probably haven't seen either in a couple months so it was good to catch up. We would all leave and Dave and John Durant would stick around savoy some more. It was an early night but at least jessie would stop by wendys on the way home.

Not really an eventful night but not all of them can be.

Saturday the 10th

I'm going to combine these posts since they are short and not really intersting, but good for those "remember that night we did that? no, not really was that the weekend we did this?"kind of discussions.

The next day the main event would probably be game 3 of the stanley cup finals. Already down 2-0 in the series the oilers would need to win this one to have any chance of winning the cup. After some afternoon discussion it was decided that pat jessie and i would get some grub at tony romas. We get there in time for the beginning of the game. We end up leaving at the 1st intermission, Pat was supposed to pick up Francine somewhere in st.albert so we dropped him off. Jessie and i would go to his place to catch the rest of the game.

While we are jessies we get a call from pat asking us if we want to hang out at brennas for like a fire or something tonight. As there wasn't much else to do we agree. Pat would meet us at the liquor store. Inside they had a small black and white tv picking up cbc over the air. It was a lot better then what 630 ched was offering. Pat and Francine would go to brennas directly, jessie would stop by my house so i could pick up a hoodie we decide that since we are there we would watch the rest of the game , about 8 minutes, in my basement. Thankfully the oilers were able to pull through but the series was really just getting started at 2-1.

With the game over jessie and i head over to brennas. On the way there i pretty much ruled out the fire since it was raining and such. I was under the impression that we were going over there and we were gonna sit around and drink and get a little crazy. There would be no crazyness, just some pool, a repeat of some world cup games, and a rousing game of battle ship i had with jessie. I got a call from pannich and i guess some of them were at suede, it seems we are there pretty often now, but it was tool late to meet them plus i didn't feel like hanging out there tonight anyways. I had made a modest attempt at getting drunk but after i finished my slush mixed with hypnotic and felt no effect i gave up, it didn't help that brenna, francine and shanna weren't really in the mood to have anything to drink. It would be an early night but i knew and always know there will always be next weekend.
