This weekend will go down in history, and they will speak of it for years (or weeks) to come. It was a long-awaited journey to Lawrence that James, Delaney, and myself had been planning for nearly a month and at the last minute Steve Shaw caught a ride up there with us so he could visit his baby girl.
The trip got interesting around 3 P.M. Friday afternoon when we reached Great Bend so James could cash in a $1000 winning scratch ticket. In celebration we stopped at a local liquor store and had Steve buy us a couple bottles for the trip. Needless to say, by the time we reached Lawrence and got to the venue for the show, we were already slightly inebriated. The show was a lot of fun--even though it wasn't really as full as I thought it would be for Mest. It was mostly all us GC peeps holding it down in the middle section. We all sang along and danced around and lane poured beer on everyone (as usual) and it was awesome.
After the show we all mobbed deep over to Jon's and continued partying in the wee hours of the night...and then some. Josh Sauer showed back up to Jon's around 5 in the A.M. with a sweet surprise that kept me from getting any sleep before the big game.
So around 8 I woke everyone else up and we all got ready to start tailgating and start getting drunk...again. What a chore. We had Jenn pick us up a 30 pack and we headed down to the campus to check out the homecoming parade (or what was left of it) before heading down by the stadium. We ended up tailgating with these college kids that lived right on the corner by the stadium, which was convenient.
Still high on a buzz from the night before, the excitement, and maybe all that alcohol we drank playing beer pong at 9 A.M. (that has to be a record for most people), we headed to Memorial Stadium to watch the game, front row at the 50 yard line.
Turns out those seats sucked a fat one. We could barely see over the sideline (see below) and all the people on our side were the boring adults who just sat there the whole time.
I was so pissed that I was about to just give someone my seat and go sit in the student section where all the excitement was. Instead, KU ended up falling behind big time by halftime and me and Jon U went back to this house and kept partying some more until who knows what time.
I don't really remember much of what happened next, except that I was sitting on a curb somewhere far away from that house and that Jennifer Dress and Joe Wesley Picked me up and took me to some restaurant where James and Delaney were at. Don't know what I was doing there, don't remember walking in. I just remember the waitress asking me if I was okay and if I wanted to order something.
Ended up back at Jon's somehow and for some reason I felt fine so I immediately took 6 beer bongs, which knocked me right back on my ass and out of conciousness for a while, I don't really know how.
All in all, I really kind of regret getting that drunk. I definitely didn't feel good for a couple days...but I had an awesome time and I can't wait to go back!
