this night has taken a turn for the worse
Friday night was…ultimate. What started out as happy hour with the ccx IT department turned into a night of drunken debauchery. i won’t say who, but someone almost got his balls cut off. we don’t know his name, but it was close. that’s how we roll.
It started out at the Peach Pit - brew some more worryin’ ale or shut down the bar. After a mass texting, C.U. knew we had to make this night happen on our own. and happen it did. El Presidente oversaw our first meeting of the technical advisory committee; Akira is quitting his job on Thursday to work on the website fulltime. She wouldn’t have come out if she knew she’d be watching drunken brainstorming sessions all night. Next stop was Lemmings, where flowcharts, venn diagrams and strategic planning continued. Scanned blueprints to come. Rob brought in reinforcements from the burbs and we headed out to our next stop. Ms. Ulty decided that the best cure for an injured back is to give El Presidente a piggyback ride to the Map Room for some Beers of the World and the longest pool games on the planet. (Dan, seriously, i’m going to stop drunk dialing you to say things reminded me of you - but baby i miss your body.)
Next stop turned out to be a lapse in judgment. We’re not even sure what this place is called, but it may as well have been in Bagley, WI. It may be called Ed & Jean’s, but stay away because you’ll be assaulted or sexually harassed by the proprietors. unless that’s your thing. The $2 high life seemed worth the atmosphere, until our new friend John (bless you soldier) got headbutted by Jimmy*. It looked like it hurt; here is John being comforted by his assailant. Sorry dude, but you get mad props for not crying.
Oh but there was more to come. Next stop was Danny’s….too sleepy thanks to the reggae and the weirdo who lost his cellphone. We cabbed the four blocks to Estelle’s in an attempt to beat the line, all to no avail. Which brings us back to square one, the kid in the window almost losing his manhood. If you want the details you’ll just have to come out with us next time. Props to Pete, our best friend forever at Penny’s; that place is good even though ms. ulty has been “banned for life” by the owner and can only dine in-house and pay with cash. Petey moss, see what you can do about that.
* Check him out; I think Jimmy is older than my dad.

El Presidente would like to address the blog, if possible. My speechwriter is on vacation, but I would just like to say that John is more than just a good soldier, he’s a goddamn trooper. And if you’re reading this, John, let’s go out again. I think you might be able to help with more covert “missions”…
