Friday:
I had the whole day off (which hardly ever happens on a Friday). I supposed to meet my friend Chris at a bar (bar #1...I think you can see where this is going) to see I live show at 10 that night (it was a band I had heard a lot about over the years but had never actually seen). Well I got there around 10:20. Place was pretty much dead. I had a drink and told Chris to meet me at another bar (bar #2) where we would have a drink and then come back a little later. So I go to bar #2 and get a drink and Chris gets there a little later. We have a few drinks and our friend Chuck joins us. Around 11:30, we decide it's time to go back to bar #1. We go there and we can tell by the lack of people that the place is still relatively dead. So we end up going to bar #3. They have a few more drinks but I'm pretty much done with drinking for the night after 3 pints (no I'm not that much of a lightweight, but I'm having sinus problems so I need to stay hydrated). I'm just drinking water and watching a pool game (which Chris lost pretty badly). At this point, I have lost track of time for a while, but we leave there and try to check out bar #4. This bar you can see into from the street, and it too is dead. Chris and I end up parting from Chuck at this point, and we give bar #1 one last try. Now there are two doormen outside (they hadn't been there before) and Chris asks one of it's jumpin' inside. Guy says yes. Chris asks if he can poke his head in there and see what it's like. Guy says no, and it comes off as if he's trying to scam us out of a cover charge and it's actually dead in there. So Chris and I end up leaving (that guy was kinda sketch) and go back to bar #2 for a little bit. Then we call it quits for the night. He decides he wants some Wendy's which is right down the street and on our way home (we live near each other). We get to the drive through and as he's ordering, some random girl comes up to the car and asks us to get some fries for her crying friend and Chris tells her to jump in the car. I made some comment about us not knowing whether she's a homicidal maniac and how she doesn't know if we are homicidal maniacs (this, by the way, is one of the most random moments of my life). We end up giving her a lift home and then talking about how she was the bright spot of the night (she was pretty cute too). I got home around 1:30 in the morning and I'm asleep by 2:30. We found out later that the concert didn't really get good and packed until about 1:30, which here in Virginia is only thirty minutes before the bars close.
This was a weird night.
Saturday:
Nothing really happened. Virginia Tech played at #3 N.C. State at 3:30. By the time I had to leave for work (4:45ish), Tech was down 17-0 (if I remember correctly), but we ended up winning 41-30 (we were up 34-30 then intercepted the ball and scored again...or so I heard). Didn't do anything that night because I had to be at work at 9am Sunday.
Sunday:
Work was annoying. Just plain annoying. The customers, my boss, some of my coworkers, the fact that I missed every early football game, the fact that I was at work until 4:30, and the person who was supposed to be there an hour before me was two hours late (and thus got there an hour after me) and still got to leave before me. Not to mention the fact that Green Bay only beat Detroit by 2 points, though a win is a win and shouldn't be taken for granted I suppose. At least Green Bay won. Chris and I ended up seeing the 10pm showing of "The Town," which, let me say, is far better than I expected. Before we actually left, I was watching Chicago play the New York Giants. Chicago had been relatively lucky that the were only down 3-0 when I left because Cutler had been sacked nine times (this was before the second quarter was even over). Their luck ran out as they were beaten by the G-Men. Green Bay winning and Chicago losing, just what God intended. Let's do it again some time.
