My night was sheherezadian.
So I go to Ted's and we drink a shitload while we watch the most anticipated event of the year: the 2004 Scripp's National Spelling Bee. Its a long running tradition that we watch it and it proved to be a goodun as per usual. A kid fell down during it but we watched the recorded version and didn't see it but i'll come back to that. A little white boy from Indiana won, I'm glad, he seemed like the most regular kid; this one kid that's our fave, though, it was sad to see him go because just to hear him say "can i have the definition please" would cuz an uproar of laughter EVERY time.
Katie turned 23 at midnight so we went downtown and as we're leaving the meet point because its WAY too packed Ted comments that he's glad he never has to see his ex again cuz she's in Cali for good for school. Not 30 seconds later he says "Oh shit, she's right there" and sure enough she's in line to go into the place we just left. So we scurry off to Shakespeare's and Ted buys us a round of Four Horsemen and Nick, who was drinking rum and cokes during the viewing, says "No more shots for me" and promptly goes and refunds in the restroom. When he gets back Ted orders more Four Horsemen and Nick promptly goes comatose in the bar. I keep checking on him and this waitress takes the chair he was sitting on(Ted saw they were gonna play the wipeout of the dude on the spelling bee on sportscenter and got a seat front and center). I guess that caused him to lose his already unstable equilibrium and proceeds to spew in the middle of Shakespeare's. We get him outta there and head back to Ted's where I drink a lot more with Josh while he prepares for his Blender interview in NYC.
I head over to Matt's which is just up the street and drink more with him and Margot...well me and Matt drink, Margot doesn't. I convinced Matt to make one of his calls, and he calls Bowflex and asks if it would help his groin muscle recooperate and the dude on the line says "if you do indeed have a groin muscle" and hangs up, so of course he calls back and asks for a supervisor. When he gets a hold of one he starts with the talk about being a football player for the last 15 years and he's pulled his groin muscle several times and that the person he last talked to was the rudest person he's ever talked to. I don't know how he doesn't laugh at all when he makes those, me and Margot had to cover our mouths we were laughing so hard just listening to his side of the convo. So I pass out right before Saved By The Bell, how fucking sad is that, I made it that long and didn't get to see the greatest show ever produced.
After my 3 hours of requisite sleep I woke up and drove home, THE END
