let's start with tuesday. tuesday night is trivia night. for two weeks or so, it was binge drinking night at lion's head. but tonight i was going to make trivia night, which is usually this excruciatingly slow, boring, torturous affair, into binge drinking night. to that end, kelsey and i bought 3 40's from UFM (judy came along too, but not for the drinking so much), and got to the stend around 9:30. we look inside and corey tells us it was only dave, mike, and ben, and they left about 10 minutes ago. i call dave, he's at koronet, they left because no one showed, a gas leak meant no burgers, and the theme was music (meaning they weren't going to win). austin finds us while we're outside stend. being the guardian provider i am, i decree that we are going to lion's head. we swing by koronet to pick up mike and dave (ben had already gone home), and sit ourselves down at the benches by the front window. tuesday is good because a pitcher of yuengling is $7. that's not too shabby. 5 of us, 5 glasses a pitcher, means we go through 5 pitchers fairly quickly. there was a good amount of jukeboxing, a good amount of bad singing, a good amount of galaga and ms pacman comments. through the night, we lost judy, got raj and lost raj, got tricia and lost tricia, got karen, london, and london's eerily cute friend leslie (i don't quite trust her, i don't know why), and lost them as well. we got up to maybe 7 or 8 pitchers for the table, not counting the bud light karen got. the night ends at 1:45... i had been dying to go to koronet before they closed, but austin had put 3 KILLER songs into the jukebox and we waited for them for at least 20 minutes (i know, i was watching the clock) before we couldn't wait anymore. it's just me, mike, austin, and kelsey by this point. so we get to koronet - stopping when i had to sit down because they kept scraping mike's disc on the pavement, oh god, it hurts - in time to see them lock the door. austin, who had a ton of work to do before his presentation tomorrow, and really had meant to be at trivia night for maybe an hour, proclaims we might as well stay up the whole night. i go to my room, bring my pillow and blanket down to austin's lounge, and he brings out his dvd player and a stack of movies. i remember the intro, then -

i wake up, look around. austin's staring right at me, and all he says is "yeah." i'm on the couch in his lounge. it's 6:30 in the morning. i go up to my room to sleep some more. end tuesday.
