I must admit I had a pretty damn good last night. I just got paid so I was like “I’m gonna go barhopping”. Normally I stay home on Friday nights and if I do go out it’s to Sapphire. I decided to change it up a little bit for some reason last night. I started out at Downtown Grille & Brewery for some food. I watched the Red Wings beat the Predators in overtime and then took off down to the Old City to start the fun. I walked around a little bit and went to Crown & Goose first. I get there and immediately run into someone I work with and her husband. Weird… so I hung out with her for awhile, had two shots of tequila and a jagerbomb. While there, I ran into someone I went to HS with. I haven’t seen the girl in literally 15 years and didn’t recognize her. The girl I worked with was the one that actually told me who she was and I was rather shocked to randomly run into someone from THAT long ago.
After Crown & Goose, I went to Urban Bar. It was my first time there as well and I was actually pleasantly surprised. First, the bartenders were seriously hot as fuck. BIG plus in my book. I had 6 jagerbombs and a surfer on acid there. I ran into an old friend named Eddie I used to work with at Cendant 8 years ago. What the fuck? Running into weird random people from my past! What gives? Anyway, so I’m hanging out there and my friend Jessica texts me and tells me she’s going to come hang out with me there. Well, by this point I was considering leaving and going to Sapphire. So I decide to stay there for awhile and she comes by to hang out for a bit. We do a jagerbomb and then I do another and she has a shot of tequila. After that point, I was going to just have her drop me off at Sapphire, but she wanted me to go with her to the barcade. I’m like “alright, whatever” and went with her.
We get to the “barcade” and I actually drank a fucking BEER! I don’t drink beer but dude talked me into drinking some “Dead Guy Ale”. Mind you it wasn’t awful but it was still beer. $4 a bottle is a bit much but at least it didn’t taste like horse piss. Played a few old school video games, finished up my beer and Jessica drove me home. Overall, nothing earth-shattering but still a great night. Ran into a few interesting people, got to hang out with a friend I don’t see too often and got really drunk. No hangover, to boot! Nothing to complain about.

No, but seriously… crazy fucking weekend for sure! Friday night, our friend Garrick was in town from Murfreesboro so he came over and we ended up going to Sapphire. We had a pretty good time, I got fairly drunk and spent $50 or so.. Something like that. Nothing really eventful happened that I remember, but it was cool nonetheless.
Saturday was the day we went to Atlanta… THAT is when the crazy fun shit happened. First off, one of my friends was going to go with us, but that fucking cunt decided to bail. Not only did she decide to bail, she didn’t even have the common fucking decency to say “hey, something came up so I can’t make it.” Wouldn’t have been a big deal but nope. Her phone was turned off so I couldn’t even get ahold of her. Needless to say, I won’t be talking to her anymore. Ever. Anyway, so off to Atlanta we go. I bring my laptop and Verizon data card with me so I can use my laptop in the car and not be so fucking bored. Well, as it turns out the stupid thing won’t work. I can’t connect under Winblows or Linux on two different laptops. What the fuck? So i call Verizon and after re-running the activation wizard and unplugging and plugging the card back in and whatever they were doing on their side it finally decided to work after 40 minutes on the phone with them. They even had to get tier 2 involved! Strangely, the thing worked a few months ago but just decided to crap out for no reason. Weird. It works now, though so it’s all good. So, we had figured that we would eat at the Vortex (as we always do) and Gein, one of the DJ’s that played the previous weekend’s show was going to eat with us and hang out. Well, by the time got into town and checked into the hotel (6pm or so) he was too hungry to wait and decided to go ahead and eat. So we arranged to just hang out with him at his apartment after the Vortex. The Vortex was pretty much awesome as always but for some reason we ended up with the only fat disgusting waitress in the entire place. WTF?!? She wasn’t a bad waitress, per se… just ugly as fuck. Lame! So we go to Gein’s after the Vortex and hang out there with him and his gf for an hour or so. He played a few new crazy sick tracks I haven’t heard before.. pretty sweet shit. We left to go to the show at about 10:20 or so and got there around 10:35 or so. The show was at The Loft which is apparently part of the CW Downtown music complex or something like that. Pretty nice place with a kickass sound system. LOTS of bass that you could literally feel in your chest no matter where you were in the place. Awesome for sure. The DJ’s playing were Simon Bassline Smith, DJ SS and Ed Rush & Optical, who I’d been wanting to see for years now. Too bad I don’t really remember their set in the least. By the time DJ SS was halfway through his set I was pretty much done for. WAY too much to drink. I had a really big vodka + red bull (which cost me 9 fucking dollars!) and then 8 shots of jager so I was pretty well off for sure. In the course of the night I managed to lose the memory card for my camera and the battery cover for my phone. I’m not sure how the fuck I managed to do EITHER of those things but I apparently managed it somehow. I was rather annoyed about losing the card for my camera because I had taken some really awesome fucking pics. I don’t know how it got taken out or anything. Seriously, I have NO clue! And the battery cover for my phone? What? Fucking weird for sure. I also apparently spent an hour or two talking to this random cute part-Korean chick whose name I don’t remember. Amusingly, the only picture on the camera from the entire night is one of myself and her… Me being so obviously drunk it’s rather hilarious. No, I don’t plan on posting said pic. I look absolutely awful to say the least. In any case, we eventually made it back to the hotel, slept in til noon, went downtown to hang out with the 404audio guys for a bit then came home. Pretty much uneventful on Sunday but that’s not such a bad thing all things considered. So now I have to order a new memory card… and I’ve lost the awesome pics I took
