What a fantastic weekend!
FRIDAY:
I decided last minute to go to the LA County fair and sent a mass text to see who wanted to go. Vest and Erick answered the call and I picked them up. We got there around 2.
Mainly I came to eat and look at the farm animals, but it was also the others' first time at the LACF so we walked around more than usual. There was an Asian American Expo there and Erick bought some Indonesian ramen box because they were really delicious.
As far as food, I had a ridiculous amount. Starting with a BBQ turkey leg, then deep fried BBQ ribs and fries. I bought a souvenir LACF cup so I could get cheap refills all day. Then I had some mini donuts, then I found the texas-size donut place, but this year they were selling maple-bacon versions...so I had to get one and I was instantly defeated by it.
later in the night I picked up some roasted chicken and funnel cake.
Erick and Vest went wine tasting, had some grilled oysters, shrimp ceviche, onion rings and some spiked lemonade in souvenir shaker cups. In between all the food they tried their hand at some carnival games (and failed, of course) then we went to see the animals! horses and cows and goats and pigs and Llamas, bunnies, chickens, etc. It was awesome. As we were walking away we even heard a donkey hyper-stereotypical "HEE HAW" a bunch of times. so cool!
After the fair Vest suggested we go to Hawaiian Gardens casino to play some cheap poker. that seemed like a good idea so we went. we played for about 3 hours and by the end of the night I was up like 15 bucks or so, while vest was down 60 or something. He's such a terrible gambler...anyway we left at 11pm and dropped everyone off after such a busy day.
SATURDAY:
I woke up and was not hungry, so I decided to go to Round 1 to play some pump. I sent out another mass text, and this time Phil and Dustin answered. So I picked them up (dustin had a new waterproof camera he was trying out) and we played at Round 1 for a while. Phil and this other kid downloaded a hack of the Pump store online and unlocked a sick amount of new options in Fiesta EX, and we also unlocked a bunch of new stuff in Pro 2. so there was no shortage of new stuff to try in the games. I didn't play as much as I wanted to, but i did get some SS's to save on my card. I dropped them back off at around 5:30 so I could get ready for Oktoberfest that night.
At first I wasn't even goign to go but Juan-Carlos had already bought my ticket so I threw on some nice party clothes and drove out. To save space, we carpooled in my car (Me, JC, Erick, Jedi, and Che) We arrived at like 7:45 or so (early) and the party was already going. First things first I got some "bier", 32oz cup. it was delicious. Then I made my way to the food and ordered a bratwurst with sauerkraut and potato wedges. Everything was top-notch. Everyone had a rowdy and raucous good time, and we left at like 12:30. I was able to eat, drink water, and then some Monster Rehab before so i was "the most sober" to be DD. I dropped everyone off without incident then rolled home blasting party music.
I started texting a ton of people but then fell asleep in the middle. Woke up today with basically no hangover. I gotta shave and I have work today, but this was really one of the best weekends of the year for me. nonstop activity!
