Halloween on State St.

Saturday, October 29th, 2005 | Uncategorized

So I didn’t really take into account the fact that it was Halloween. Ok it really wasn’t, I mean that is the 31st, BUT that being a Monday, and this being a Saturday it’s a no-brainer adjustment.

I say I didn’t take it into account, as If I had I wouldn’t have drank 3 shots of Absinthe @ 7pm. I had been having sore muscles, and no pills I decided that the best way to fix that was Absinthe. Well at just before 8 I got a phone call, and lucky them; I was still awake!!!! This stuff normally nocks me on my ass.

Well I went and met up with them at hotel a few miles from downtown. Well while we were waiting for a cab I was informed of a Wedding going on downstairs. Not being able to resist, I went down to crash for a little while. Sadly I was none to impressed with the seemingly single girls, so I wandered off as quick as I came.

Now being the biggest event that Wisconsin throws, in which every year riots break out and people get maced. Every year the town tries to cancel the event to no avail, it’s to big to stop. People would still come even if it was “canceled”.

Gotta say my favorite part of this event every year is the fact that every woman out seems to have absolutely no inhibitions. I mean a good 90% of their costumes contain less material than a swimming suit, which is A-OK with me!

Well In the spirit of taking a cab, I kept drinking. I said I wasn’t going to pay for a drink all night, and well…. I didn’t, but it never ended.

I mean I had my shots at home, then I had 3 captain and cokes at the hotel, then we went out and I had a Saki Bomb, and another double captain and coke, then 1.5 jumbo Long Island Tea’s. People were still trying to get me to drink more after that, but I refused to get sick and know my limit.

At one point in the night a guy tried to start a fight with me. There were two cute girls sitting at my table while my friends were waiting in line for a bathroom. Well this guy felt that he was entitled to these girls for some reason, and he then told me that THEY wanted me to leave, and when I laughed at him he started rolling up his sleeves and said “we can do this here, or outside”. Impressed with my choices, I instead to just keep sitting down and start ignoring him and guess what… IT WORKED, he went away!

It’s 2am or so and one of my friends wanted to go to State Street, as we were on University a block off. I was not going to do any more drinking and I was the only one who could still hold my sentence structure together so I put the kabosh on that. To be honest I actually think she just WANTED to get maced AGAIN this year just to say that we were part of the riots!

As it was the cops were pulling people out of bars that were not on State Street and FORCING them to go to State St. No I am not kidding, they emptied a couple bars just to be able to “better control” where people were since they had over 100 cops on State St and they had fenced it off so that they could shove people around better. Well this sounded like a reason for people to riot to me!

Went back and got some Gumby’s Pizza, that didn’t show up until 4:30am! Slow ass MoFo’s, my drunk companions ordered and paid for it all, not that I was cheap but they were CRAZY, they ordered a large pizza and 20″ of Pokey Sticks!!!! It cost $32 bucks, and I was asleep by the time it got there, the next morning it was hardly touched, but I gotta say leftover Pokey Sticks (no I am not making this up, that’s what they are called.. .get it, I’m Gumby Damn it!) are pretty good!

Slept like shit, but didn’t get sick, and didn’t pass out like one person did (into a big heavy lump on the floor).

Good Times, Great Holidays (I would go through and color, and bold this but I don’t feel like rereading what I wrote, so suck it up and just read it instead of reading bold words.)
