I'm so:  exhausted
feelin' the beat with: TV
This week's trip to Reno was much more enjoyable than the last one, however my body is all thrashed from binge drinking, fast food, and secondhand smoke. I won $20 from $0.75. I spent some time with some people who I like/want to get to know better. I have one souvenir...a bong-shaped margarita holding device from Cal Neva.
The first night was boring, but playing in the snow on the way in was fun.
The second night was better...more snowplay that day too. We got back to the hotel around 2 in the afternoon, watched Tombstone (bitch!), and drank beer all afternoon. Awfulawful's at The Nugget for dinner (thanks Ryan!) I don't remember what else happened that night, I think because my memory is bad, not because I was wasted.
I walked out of a restaurant without paying for the first time ever. It was exhilirating. We (Ryne, Ashlea, and I) took a taxi to Sushi Club, which has some really good sushi on their all-you-can-eat dinner menu. (Our first cab driver 'Blake' was a total cool guygot.) We ordered and got our first round o' fish and a couple of misos. We ate, we drank, we quickly ran out of food and drink. We waited...and waited...and waited. They finally refilled our water and took the next order. After that we waited some more. Around the 30 minute mark, I started getting jittery and hella pissed. Our crappy waitress was serving other tables in a similarly snail-like manner, and we felt quite offended that she hadn't at least brought our damn sake. At about 40 minutes, I got up and led the revolt out the door and down the street. It was amazing, but Ryne was still hungry. After a quick (creepy) stop at a St. Patty's packed Irish pub we hit Cal Neva for 2 tacos and a draft for $1.50, a hotdog and a draft for $1.50, picked up the margarita bongs and headed back to top o' the ghetto Holiday Inn.
After that there was a lot of somersaulting, crack ice, dry-humping orgy-like fun. It must have been around 2 in the morning when I did my usual "go be a depressed loner drunk" routine. Exploration revealed an empty banquet room on the 14th floor with the most beautiful view of Reno I've seen to date...it must just look better at night.
Sean lives in Fresno now...that's new and unusual.
Oh yeah, photos of the trip are available here. |
