hung-over and boozed out
(part 2)
it was 3am and we still didn't feel like going home. the kitchen at papa jek's already closed so we decided to go somewhere else. i was already running out of cash so i had to run to the nearest ATM vestibule while they percolated on where to go next. when i got back, everything was already planned out.
riverbooze wasn't that far from papa jek's. it closes at 5am which, i thought, was absolutely perfect. what's even better is they have a promo for beer drinkers which is 5bottles plus one so we started off with one round of beer and a plate of pork and fried tofu
(in short, tokwa't baboy). and with michael jackson playing on the background, we started boozing the night away.
15mins later, we noticed that the house band was setting up their instruments. i then started telling my friends that i once jammed with the house band at Friends bar in el Pueblo. two minutes later, i realized that i should have kept my mouth shut.
normally, i wouldn't do it. ha!! kidding.. if you know me too well, you would probably even think that the reason i told the story in the first place was because i want my friends to shove me to the stage, right? WRONG!! actually, i'm kidding again. of course i did!! i had to do something to make it a fun night, right? so i asked the band if they could play "through the fire" by chaka khan. well, they couldn't. so i went back to my seat and we ordered another round of beer.
you probably know that last part was bull, right? c'mon, you think i would just give up jsut because they couldn't play one lousy song? of course not!! i asked them if they could play something else. and after much deliberation, i ended up singing claire marlowe's "til they take my heart away." and when i got back to my seat, they were already getting ready for round two.
after one more round, you can tell that not a single person is sober in our table. i think the only one who can still think straight was jeff because he was the assigned driver for the night. if you exclude him, every single one of us would probably be blowing a 0.09 on a Breathalyzer.
round three.. things were starting to heat up. i was sooo drunk that i was chugging down beer as if it was iced tea on a hot summer's day. when kim noticed (kim's a guy, by the way), he challenged me to drink a glass of beer straight up and with me being drunk and all, i accepted the challenge. and 15mins later, he challenged me again.
