My friend Emma had her birthday party tonight. She rented a party barge and I quickly snatched up one of the spots to go. I left work with plenty of time to get booze and some bratwurst and get to the docks but as usual I doomed myself to failure. I left my phone at home so I couldn't get in touch with anyone and I didn't get all of the info on where we were supposed to meet. I get down to the general area but the google map that I printed out was pretty crappy.
I finally find the dock where the boat is launching from just in time to see the party barge rounding the corner chock full of party people. I take the walk of shame down to the end of the dock where the rental place is and ask if the boat that I see fading in the distance is Emma's and sure enough it is. A very tanned couple say that they can give me a ride for a tip and I agree. I don't remember their names but they are very nice folk and butted right up against the party barge and I got to enter the party with fireworks and ninja guards where the rest of the people that were actually on time got on the boat regular-like.
