Picnic Time

Yesterday, my church had a picnic and I won some awesome stuff. I won 34 bottles of wine and a day of golfing at an country club that is usually too expensive for me. It was a fun day filled with food, games and free beer which equals one of the best ways to spend to a Sunday.

BLINK 182

5 years after blink 182 broke up, the trio decided to get back together and do a reunion tour, and I was excited as a 13 year old girl.

Growing up, blink 182 was my favorite band. I would go to see them in concerts, read about them, and make my friends listen to them as well. My friends would always joke on how they don't remember getting in my car with out blink playing during some portion of the ride.

The only thing that I would complain about the show was the location of it. I hate the Superpages.com Center. It is hard to get to, parking sucks, beer was to expensive, and it just sucks. It would have been better if the show was at Nokia because every seat is awesome there and the acoustics sound badass. It would have also been a better show it was at the AAC because the parking there is fantastic. It took us way too long to get into the complex and even longer just to find a parking spot. But we finally made it to our seats and ready for the show.

Before blink went on, there were a couple of opening acts that I did not really care if I saw them or not. Asher Roth, All American Rejects, and Fall Out Boy were the opening acts.

Ogle and I were late so we missed the first 2 bands and saw half of the Fall Out Boy set. They were actually pretty good and I was even surprised at myself that I knew a bunch of their songs. There was about a 20 minute gap between Fall Out Boy and Blink 182, and the crowd was ready for them to come and take the stage.

Around 8:45, the house lights went off, the crowd started cheering, and blink took the stage. The group played 20 songs at it was awesome. Since it was a reunion tour, they played all of their biggest hits and then some really early stuff for all of the long time fans.

Just like all of their other shows that I have been to, the group would make dirty jokes and make fun of each other in between songs. They would even turn the house lights on and asked a random parent how they were enjoying the show or not.

Near the end of the show, Travis did do an awesome drum solo. His stage was lifted up in the air and it would move from one side of the stage to the other. Also, when the stage came back to the center, the center of the stage started to move like a spinner on a hubcap. The solo last about 6 minutes and it was pretty cool.

They ended the show with "Dammit" as they always do and everyone was jumping up and down while singing along to it. To check out the set list of the night, click here.

GrapeFest

Have you ever wanted to spend the day walking around aimlessly in the Texas heat while drinking wine? If you said "Of course, what else am I going to do, learn or be a good role model", then this is the post for you.

The day after the B.S. concert, a group us decided to go to Grapefest and do just what I discussed in the previous paragraph. If you don't remember what I wrote then you should see a doctor because you may be mildly retarded or you are a goldfish, either way you are screwed.

Grapefest is a really good time for all of the Winos to get together and sample all different types of wine. It is also a place where you can bring the whole family. For some reason I thought it was funny that they made a festival, which was dedicated to the joys of alcohol, a very family friendly place. The festival had pony rides, a petting zoo, and face painting.

Grapefest really had a carnival atmosphere to it. In order to buy any wine, beer, or food, each person had to buy tickets from the ticket Boothe. Each ticket was worth 50 cents and you would just use the tickets as cash. I have never understood this concept because you can just skip the ticket booth and just us cash. It would saves tons of time and money as well.

Anyway, there were tons of great wine out there. I learned that I am not much of a fan of most of the dry wines. It just has a bitter taste to me for some reason. The best beverage that I had there was a sangria called "Redheaded Step Child", it had a sweet taste and it was damn tasty.

It was also really great the weather was beyond awesome for that day. After almost a full week of nothing but cold weather and heavy rains, the sun was out and it seemed to be in the mid 80s for the temperature.

I couldn't really drink that much because I haven't eaten anything yet and mainly because I got a little overzealous the night before. There were all kinds of stands for food out there. One stand that stood out was a hamburger stand that sold a burrito hamburger. Basically, the was just a hamburger topped with everything that a person would find in a burrito. I didn't eat because I am not a big fan of burritos but they were selling tons of them that day.

We were only there for a couple of hours, but it was enough to wear someone out. Just the combination of wine, beer, greasy food, and the heat was all the we could handle. So naturally, where just went to an indoor bar to continue our antics that we were performing in the heat. A couple of rounds later, we were ready to leave and head over to Eric and Kristin's to watch the game, drink, and smoke some cigars. It was a good way to spend one of the first weekends in Texas that did not have a 100 degree temperature.

The Circus: Starring Britney Spears

Last Friday, my friend Sara Machi and I went to see Britney Spears in concert at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. From what I have heard from people who saw her first concert earlier in the year, that it will more of a show than a concert.

Even though it was just Machi and I seating with each other, my friends Sara Ferguson aka Fergie and Stephanie rode along with us to the concert. Now, being the mature, upstanding, moral people that we are, we decided to tailgate the Britney Spears concert. I have tailgated football games and that was no big deal to me, but this was a little awkward for some reason. It may be because were just hanging out in the parking lot of a Britney Spears concert where little kids roamed the parking lot with their parents, the two girls who parked next to us who decided that they couldn't wait to go inside and go to the bathroom and just go in between two cars and use each other as a shield, the sea of beer bottles that we left in our path, or the fact that we were just too damn awesome for the kids to understand. I think it was the last one.

After we finished our own pre party in the parking lot, we headed in to what were told would be one of the greatest shows of all time. As long as they had beer for sale, I would be just fine. Machi and I had some pretty good seats. We were the third row near the catwalk where the opening acts would enter and exit from. Being that close to a catwalk also meant the Britney Spears would walk/dance/skip/sex/be carried over to our side of the stage for a song/dance/orgy. I was obviously excited.

The show did start out like any other concert and it was also very prompt. The tickets stated that the show would start at 8 and everyone figured that it would start sometime around 8. Once the clock said 8, the preshow started and everyone started to go for their seats.

The opening acts were Kristinia DeBarge and Jordin Sparks. Kristinia DeBarge was the first one to go on the 360 degree stage.Since she is a new artist, she would have the least amount of time of perform, but she only sang two songs. Her first song was something that I had never heard of and the second was her first single called "Goodbye", which is an OK song.

After that short set, Jordin Sparks came out to sing. Normally, there would be some time between each artist but not with this show. There had to be only a 3 or 4 minute gap between their sets, which was pretty cool since no one had to sit around and just wait for the show to resume.

She sang for about 20 minutes and performed some new songs and also the popular ones that she is known for. They only songs that I knew were "No Air" and "Battlefield". She did do a good job and a ton of people seem to know a lot of her songs. After her last song, she thanked everyone who came and then a 360 degree came halfway down to the middle of the stage with a twenty minute countdown on it.

Machi and I spent that 20 minute period going to the bathroom, getting more drinks, and talking to some friends of ours that was at the show as well. And then the countdown came to and end.

Once the clock came to zero, all of the lights went off the curtain completely lowered to the stage and a video was shown on it. The video was a ringmaster, played by the master of all douche bags Perez Hilton, welcoming you to the best circus/concerts ever. Everyone in the video were dressed up to play the part that they were chosen to play and it was actually kind of interesting to watch. It would have been better if they shot and kill Perez Hilton right then and there, but I felt that may have been asking for too much.

Once, the video ended, Britney Spears came down from the ceiling and started to do some songs. She divided her show into 5 different acts, each act representing a different act from a normal circus show. At first, I did not realize that was her initial attack plan, I thought she was just doing some crazy sex acts on stage (which I would have been alright with).

She was on stage for almost 2 hours and even though there was some time in between songs, there was always some sort of circus act going on minus the donkey (again, I had no clue what she had up her sleeve).

She sang alot of her famous songs along with some new ones as well. She did a cover of "You Ought to Know" which sounded pretty decent. For the full set list and what act she was doing, you can check it out here.

After the concert ended, a group of us met up with some friends at a bar in Dallas called the Meridian Room. The bar was ok, there were hardly anyone in there and everyone who was at the concert was getting pretty tired by the end of the night. Overall it was a decent concert and we all had a pretty good time.

I don't listen to country music that much at all. I would say that I listen to country music when I am absolutely forced to, unless it is Taylor Swift but I never considered her to be county in the first place.

With that said, I went to a country music festival. It was an all day event but there was no way I can endure so much pain at for that length of time. The only reason I went to this concert was to see the Wallflowers.

The Wallflowers were a popular group in the 90s. They had a couple of good songs that I liked, but it I only saw them live once and I was really late to that concert so I only got to see part of their set which bummed me out.

The band went on at 8 and played for about an hour and a half. They played all of their big hits with the exception of "Heroes", which I am pretty sure is a David Bowie song anyway. I had a really good time during there set and song along with almost of the songs.

After their set, Austin, Sara, Susie and her friends met up at the Jack Daniel tent so they could get their drink on. As we are in the tent, the Jack Daniel reps were giving out free bandannas, stickers, and if you answered a question correctly, you would win a three foot tall statue of the Jack Daniel himself. Of course, we are up for any trivia contest.

The question was how did Jack Daniel die, well according to our trusty, reliable source known as wikipedia, he did of a toe infection that later became blood poisoning and then he bit the dust.

We were one of the first people to answer the question correctly so we won the statue. People were asking to take pictures with him and look at it as well. This one when drunk cowboy guy came up to me and offered to buy. He thought that if he had the statue, he would be this awesome guy that girls would want to be with and guys would want to be him. Obviously, this was not the case. Drunk cowboy guy gave me 30 bucks for a cheap statue that is probably worth only 5 bucks at best.

After this quick exchange, we saw Cross Canadian Ragweed for a little bit and then decided to get more drinks. Now, were gone for about at good 45 minutes and we saw the statue that drunk cowboy guy bought was just by itself, so we took it again.

One thing that I have to mention is that I did not fit into this crowd at all. Everyone was wearing their cowboy boots, wranglers, starched as hell shirts and cowboy hats. I, on the other hand, decided to rock out my plaid shorts, Adidas shoes, and a polo shirt. It was just weird.

After the concert, the group of us decided to be more country be going to Billy Bob's. With a title like that, you know it is a country bar and this bar even has its own indoor bull riding arena. With a couple of rounds of drinks there, it was time to call it a night because everyone was exhausted of the hoot n nannying all over the place. I am just glade that I ended up making money at the concert, so there is a chance that I might attend next year.

New York: Day 4

This is our last day of the trip, but New York still had some surprises up its sleeve to impress us. One this particular day of the trip, Paul went to the tennis matches by himself for a little bit because Cody and an extremely early flight and they were the only ones who had tickets for the Tuesday events. Which meant it was just Katie and I for a day.

Katie really wanted to go shopping and I just wanted to go anywhere that had air conditioning. Shopping with her was not really that bad. I did end up buying a really cool argyle sweater and Katie bought some girl stuff.

The original idea for our day was to alternate going from a store and a bar. I am pretty sure that we drank enough on the trip for the first two
days that we decided to just go to the clothing stores along with a visit to the Empire State Building and some kid stuff. The kid stuff that I am talking about is the huge Toys'R Us that was in Times Square.

The cool thing about this store was that there was a three story tall Ferris wheel in the middle of the store. There was also a small Lego Land and you could play with as many toys as you wanted to as well. Another cool aspect in the store was the candy area. They made it look almost like candy land. They even had the King of Candy Land greet everyone as they walked in.

After we spent some time in toy land, we decided to head out and venture out to other places in New York that we have yet to explore. The first place we went to was Madison Square Garden. Although we couldn't get in, we got some really got photos of the place.

The next place we went to was Grand Central Station. This place was huge. Just watching people walk in and out made me tired. We also did some other stuff like go to a park and watch people hibachi ( I have no clue how to spell it, but it was just a game of who throw a steel ball the closest to a rubber ball).

By this time of the day, I am exhausted. We have been walking around the streets of New York for about since 11 a.m. and it was about 5 when we met up with Paul. We met up with him in the lobby of our hotel and got something to drink in the lobby bar. After that, we decided to got to one more bar that was across the street, get a quick drink and then catch the plane home.

I honestly think that the plane home was probably one of the best plane rides that I have and will ever be able to be a part of. Our plane was supposed to leave at 9:15 p.m. but for some reason, they started to board at 8:50 and were ready to leave.

Once we got on the 132 passenger plane, we knew what was up. The whole plane was waiting on us. The grand total of the amount of people on board were only 14 and 8 of those people sat first class. The stewardess approached us and said that we could sit anywhere we wanted and just have fun. Again, since there were hardly any people on the plane, everyone was treated like a first class passenger. We were given free drinks and food. We were offered so much that we actually had to turn stuff down. Don't get me wrong, I love milk and cookies but there was no way I could eat/drink that after 3 rum and cokes and a bunch of warm assorted nuts (please feel free to make any joke you would like after that remark).

And the fun didn't even end there. The crew should us some movies and they even let us move around freely without any hesitation at all. One of the ladies on the crew even walked us out of the airport because we couldn't find the one exit that everyone had to take when it was passed midnight. She gave us all some hugs and said her goodbyes, she was a kick ass lady.

I know that I am leaving a bunch of stuff out from the rundown of each day's events, but I couldn't remember everything until I look at all of the drunken/embarrassing pictures that I have not even dare to look at just yet. I had a hell of a time there and cant wait to get back sometime and check out all of the other stuff that I had missed/forgotten.

New York: Day 3

We are now into Day 3 of our New York Adventure and this is also the main reason that we came to New York in the first place.

The majority of the group got up pretty early in order to make the first match in Queens at 11 a.m. We had to take a couple of subway trains to get there and only 40 minutes as well.

This was a pretty fun/alcohol free day. Although i do not know much about the sport, it was pretty entertaining to watch because some people will just go crazy about.

The first match i saw was an Aussie vs a guy from Brazil. This game was intense mainly because of the fans. People were dressed up for their favorite player and making up cheers, chants, and boos for whatever the occasion called for.

I saw some damn good matches throughout the day but I do not know much about the plays, stats, or ranks enough to give you a full update about what happened throughout the day so that is why I am just going to skip to the night match because that was the highlight of the evening anyway.

The Arthur Ash Stadium, where the night matches were being held, opened at 6 for people with the night passes. As we trek our way to our seats, which were the very last row of the entire stadium, the four of us were getting pumped about the nights events.

Since this was the opening night of the US Open, there was going to be an opening ceremony with some famous people. The O'Jays were they to sing "Love Train" as a video of kids stopped playing tennis in order to get on a train the is headed towards the US Open. When there was about a minute in the song left, the video ended and all of the kids who were in the video ran onto the court with their tennis rackets and just stood there and waved at the crowd.

Once that was over, Robin Givens, she is an anchor on either the Today show or Good Morning America, came out and made a speech about athletes who have charities that help children. She then introduced a video about Mia, Hamm, Doug Flutie, David Robinson, and Andre Agassai and the work each person has done with their particular charity.

Since it was the US Open, Andre Agassi was the last one to make a speech about his charity and he did a pretty damn good job at it as well. Then once the speeches ended, it was time for Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty to come out and sing "America the Beautiful". Then the matches started.

The first match to be played that night was Venus Williams vs Vera Dushevina of Russia. Good Lord this was one long match. It started around 8 p.m. and it had to be the longest match that I have ever seen. It lasted almost 3 hours of play time. That does not even include the time outs or anything like that at all. It was a good match but it was just too damn long for me.

Another thing that was a little weird about that match was that we were on the very top of the stadium and some people were a little too serious about watching tennis. The 4 of us were talking(never above a whisper though) during play which is generally not allowed because you do not want to do anything to distract the players at all, but since we were so high and far away from the players, it didn't really matter if we followed that rule or not.

The people in front of us thought we were speaking way too loud because they asked us to keep our conversation down to almost nothing. The family just seemed so cold about it, but we just continued to act the same as we did not to be rude but because all of the other people who either sat right in front or to the side of them were talking the same as we were and they said nothing.

After Venus Williams won the match, it was time to see Andy Roddick play. Roddick was up against an unranked German named Bjorn Phau. Now this was one hell of a match. Roddick and Phau had a serve that would average at 130 miles an hour. Even though we were not that close to the court, we could still hear each grunt the players did because it was so quiet.

One thing that we did notice was that due to the women's match taking so long, a lot of people started to leave and go home. As this was going on, we slowly made our way down to get closer and closer to the court. Eventually, we got as close as we could while still being on our tier. We decided to see if we could sneak down just to the second tier for a better view since so many seats became available.

In between the second and third set, a spokesman for the US Open was offering tickets upgrades to anyone who wanted to seat in the first tier of the stadium because it was being televised and they wanted as many seats that were going to be shown on TV to be filled. This was great news to us because we just went from the last row of the stadium to row 10.

On our way to get our new seats, we saw the always lovely looking Christie Brinkley. She was their with two friends and her mother. We asked her if we could take a picture with her and she was happy to do so. She was probably one of the nicest celebrities that I have met.

Once we got to our seats, the game seemed to be completely different. There was just a different vibe that became very exciting with everyone that moved from the top tier all the way down to the first 10 rows.

Again, the women's match took almost 3 hours to complete. I am glade that I was not the only one who felt that 3 hours for one match was just too damn long. The men's match was nearly half the time. Everything seemed to move a lot quicker and smoother. In the end, Roddick won, which was no surprise since he is ranked third.

As we were leaving the stadium, we saw David Robinson and gave him a high five before a crowd started to mob him for pictures. He was gone pretty quickly because he had some press that he had to do. We finally got on the subway for a 40 minute ride back to hotel. Once we got there, everyone went to sleep due to being outdoors and in the heat for an entire day.

Day 4: Coming Soon

New York: Day 2

After surviving the first night in the city that never sleeps, the four of us were refreshed and ready for the second day.

We all decided that we were going to see a play that day but we did not know exactly what play we would see. We knew of a very well known off site ticket booth where anyone could buy tickets to a play at a discount (as long it is on the same day).

Since none of us really knew what we wanted to see, we just chose a play based on its title. And the play that was chosen was called "Don't Leave It All To Your Children". The title alone brought many different types of scenarios to my mind, like is it going to be a comedy, drama, or some sort of weird illegal thing that I cant really go into detail about.

After we bought the tickets, at half price if I may add, we had a bunch of time to kill which we meant it was Central Park time.

I knew Central Park was a big place, but I never knew how big it actually was. There was tons of things to do there. People were getting in line to go to some puppet play, others were singing or performing with some band, hell some people were just dancing and skating around for some money.

We walked around Central Park what seemed to be like forever. There were a couple of mini parks within Central Park and each seemed to be the exact same. Kids were playing Frisbee golf, people reading, sleeping, or even just getting down to their tightie whities and just trying to get a tan. After all of our time in Central Park, it was time to go see the play.

We knew that the play was off Broadway but once we arrived to the theatre, I thought that Cody and Paul were playing some sort of joke on me. We traveled to a place called "The Actor's Temple". Obviously, it was a Jewish synagogue that was used as a place of worship and a theatre for plays.

As we looked around at the crowd, we notice one detail that would have been great if it was brought to our attention before we bought the tickets. The show was made directly for the "Baby Boomer" generation. The age gap between us and the next youngest person had to be anywhere between 40 to 50 years at least.

The performance itself was about what these old timer remember, such as the Ed Sullivan Show, skates that require a key, trying to bribe your grandkids, and why funeral costs are so much. It seemed to be more of a variety show than a play with an actual plot. Even though we did not understand all of the jokes, we thought the play was hilarious mainly because of the comments that the 2 elderly Jewish couples were making in front of us. I honestly think that old people have to be either the least funny or the most funny people anyone could be around.

The show was a well spent hour and a half mainly because we laughed our asses off, but also because we got to sit down and rest for an extended amount of time in the air conditioning.

After the play, we decided to hit up a couple of bars before dinner. For some reason, we all felt that mainly going to the local bars and then hitting the popular spots was the thing to do. It did work out for the best because we got quick service and each bar had a different beer that some of us had never tried before.

After couple of hours of visiting different bars and walking around in the mainly neighborhoods that New York had to offer us, it was finally dinner time. And all of us were waiting for this particular meal.

The four of us were pumped up to go out this night because of two reasons. This was going to be the only meal where we were willing to pay the most for and also it included ninjas. Yes, you read the last statement correct, there were going to be an abundance of ninjas there.

The place we chose to eat was a place simply called Ninja. It was obviously a ninja themed restaurant with food served by employees in ninja gear (some even had swords which made it even better).

The place was actually very well hidden, it was just a door that led to a small room with the hostess. The hostess would then call to someone saying how many people were in the group and she then asked you to go into an elevator that would take you down to the actual restaurant area.

The cool thing about the elevator was that once the doors shut, the lights dimmed down to almost nothing and then, once you reached the bottom floor, the doors opened and a ninja jumped out of nowhere and scared us. Lets be honest, when I mean the ninja scared us, i am actually saying that the ninja scared the hell out me and only me.

It was a unique experience to eat there. The ninja guide said that we had two options to get to our table. We could go the safe way and go right to our table or we could go the dangerous way. We went the dangerous route all the way.

We had to cross labyrinth in the dark with only a couple of lanterns to help guide us. Once we reached the end, another damn ninja came out and scared the hell out of me again. I was starting to think that this particular ninja had something against me.

We then headed to our table which was basically our own private room that we had to go to by crossing over a bridge. The food was really good and if you ordered anything off of the "Ninja" menu, they would bring out that particular dish with a particular kind of show. The restaurant seemed like Ninja version of Medieval Times but on a smaller more private scale.

And as they were doing the show, another damn ninja scared the hell out me. At this point I wish i had some ninja stars to throw and get my revenge somehow. After they did their food presentation, they left us alone so we could enjoy our food in peace without any ninja distractions.

The rest of the night was once again just bar hopping from neighborhood to neighborhood and just try different beverages. I believe this night we went to 4 different bars and hung with people from Belgium and Australia. Follow the link here for the map of all the places that we went to that day.

Day 3: Coming Soon

New York: Day 1

Paul, Katie, and I got on a plane and headed north to NYC for the US Tennis Open. The plane was an extremely early flight. It took off at 7 an la manana and that was way too early for me.

The three of us went from the airport straight to the hotel where the trip started on a good note. When the bellhop showed us to our room, he said that we would not have a view of the city, but instead we only see the other half of the hotel. As, the bellhop started to leave, I looked out the window and saw something that you would only see in cinamax late at night.

I opened up the window and had a clear view of the room from across from ours and there was some lady in nothing but a bra and thong. From that point on, we knew it was going to be a great trip.

The three of us, while waiting for the rest of the group to arrive, decided to go and check out Ground Zero along with other landmarks in New York. But before we could do any landmark sighting, we had to hit up a bar first.

We went to some dive bar, i believe the more of a dive the bar the better it is, which seemed to be located in an old fire station because of the garage bay doors being used as an entrance. This particular bar also had a pretty damn good special going on for a Saturday afternoon. Starting at noon, all pitchers of beer started at 4 and went up 50 cents every hour and they also had tons of beer pong being played at the same time.

After that small excursion at random bar #1, we headed of to see Ground Zero. It was really strange and at the same time very moving to see this site. Everything was eerily quiet and somber.

Another weird thing about this site is that right across the street is a business building which consists of various private business and a mall and right behind the mall is a very lively river area.

I don't know what river it was but you could clearly see the Statue Of Liberty in the background and there were plenty of people learning how to sail boats and also the NYU Sail boating School as well. The view from this area was fantastic. It was weird that one building had two completely different views and feelings from one side to the other.

After Ground Zero, we visited Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange. That was a really cool place to see and learn about because the only knowledge of this place is from whatever I learned while watching "Trading Places", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" or "Wall Street".

At this point, we have done alot of walking and subway riding, so we decided to something to eat. We traveled to Little Italy and picked the first restaurant we saw that had outdoor seating. What we didn't know is that almost every Italian restaurant had outdoor seating.

The Italian place seemed to be what a typical Italian restaurant in New York may be like. The "host" will do whatever they can to entice you to come to their business from you. It was actually kind of amusing to watch because they reminded me of a car salesman trying their best to sell you something.

After a quick little lunch, we saw Battery Park, Washington Park, and parts of Chinatown. After visiting this places, we had to go back to hotel to meet up with Cody. Cody was supposed to be their earlier but his plane from Austin, TX was delayed due to rain and he also got nailed in the crotch by a 4 year old with her yo-yo.

Around 9 P.M., Cody finally showed up and the 4 of us were ready to hit the town New York Style. The first place we went to was to Times Square. We all wanted to see what the place looked like at night with all of the lights on. And it looked awesome. We probably walked around for about 45 minutes just to check everything out and also to scout out places that we wanted to go to the next day.

Now, I don't remember where we ate dinner but I do know it was an Irish bar and grill. I just had a grill chicken sandwhich which was the bomb. We had a couple of drinks there after dinner and decided to hit up the night life as best as 3 guys and a girl from Texas could.

We went to different types of bars just to see what NYC had to offer, and NYC did not disappoint us at all. Since the group was from Texas and used to Texas laws, we could not believe that the NYC bars closed at 4 a.m. instead of 2 a.m. like in Texas. Which means were had to work a little harder in order to last 2 more hours.

We went to 5 different bars that night and each place seemed to be the complete opposite place to the previous one we just visited. That night we visited the following bars: O'Briens, Fat Black Pussy Cat, KGB Bar, McSorley’s, and Grassroots. You can check out the map here to see where we traveled to get to these places.

Day 2: Coming Soon

Back from New York

I just recently got from the US Open in New York, and let me tell you, it was so much fun. Instead of giving an extremely long post about my four day trip and everything that occurred during my visit, I am going to divide each day as a different post. Those post should be up on the site fairly quickly.
