good eats and comfortable seats

last night was a blast when a bunch of the trainees got together out in oakland. it was a great way to kick off my first night on the town in pittsburgh. i rode the old commuter bike to meet everyone down there, a mere mile and a half from my apartment.

the first bar the 10+ of us decided to invade was this place called boomerang's. coindicentally enough, the only boomerang in the entire bar was the tiny one above a doorframe in the farthest back corner of the establishment. dollar yuengling's was the highlight of boomerang's, as was losing my v-card to a touch-screen game called photo match or something. it was outstanding. the computer displays two images side by side, seemingly the exact same, and you need to find 5 differences between the pictures. zack and his gf leigh broke me in and later paul came over to help out.

after a couple rounds of photo match, everyone convened over by the electronic dartboard for some competitive kricket games. 2v2. lots of fun. kind of makes me want to get a dartboard for my apartment...probably not the best idea.

then we made the long trip nextdoor to another bar called hemmingway's for $1.50 coronas. hilarity ensued when dan started to take pictures and paul was throwin his gangsta signs. pimpin aint easy. just ask paul.

and to cap off the evening, andy decided to tell me shortly before everyone split that people get mugged sometimes downtown. specifically telling me his sole mugging story of when he only had 2 bucks in his wallet and was even with a couple friends when four homies took their money one night. so i did what any other skinny white boy with a bike would do after a half dozen yuengling's in him, i rode home as fast as humanly possible.

time to go figure out how i am going to handle these overdraft fees. thats right. plural. i am that retarded. gd.

living on ramen for the week.
