day's dawning
Interesting times in Victoria... I will shorten this as much as possible!!!
Andrew started drinking at about ten in the morning while we were sitting in the cab of Marti's truck at eh ferry terminal. Absynthe of all things, put into tim horton's cups. Oh and the ferry fun did not stop with Andrew being hammered on a boat, we managed to lock the keys in the truck, so the ferry people had to talk to us and got us a hanger and a piece of string. After cutting a piece of rubber off taylor's shoe and sticking it on said hanger, we were good to wander. I stole a little orange pylon since the boys wanted to, but were too chicken haha.
Marti and Andrew checked into the hotel before we headed off to get beer, walk around, eat mushrooms, then get more beer. While wandering among the many fascinating stores and alleys Victoria has to offer, we encountered a crazy street performer juggling fire riding a nine foot unicycle + other impressive stunts! This is when we all started feeling pretty lightheaded.
We went out to dinner at this pub called the "irish times"... and it hit... hard. Carpets crawled, lighting fixtures glowed different... and the poor poor waitress was at a loss... I only had water (i dont eat on that shit) and Marti Taylor and Andrew had maybe a quarter of a beer if that before we were all in hysterics and loud laughing fits in the middle of this nice pub. One of Marti's friends came and visited, and once they came it just got progressively wierder... a live band started playing downstairs, this guy TJ went to kiss Marti while Andrew kept asking him for coke. I stole a Kronenberg glass for Marti since he was too freaked out by the place to get it himself.
Now for the REALLY weird part!!! We get back and the coffee machine in our bathroom which was EMPTY before when marti first checked in was half full, an empty cup of coffee was sitting on the counter, coffee grounds were on the counter and on a facecloth in the sink, a towel was on the floor, and none of our shit had been touched. WHAT THE FUCK? Someone came in our room, made a pot of coffee, drank a cup and left??? what the hell??? classy joint.
we were flying by then and horribly confused. We didn't want to pay extra for two more people, so we left that shithole in pairs, except taylor and I got horribly lost inside the crazy alice-in-wonderland hotel and found an abandoned staircase... we ended up walking to a large beautiful park in the end, Rael (who will always be known as Phaedrus to me now) and beckie met with us and everyone spoke in metaphors. It would be too hard ot explain what went on in there, but Marti walked out - after climbing an enormous willow tree branching out over a pond(with ducks!) - claiming that the park and everything in it was "fiction". I am so glad he is drawing my tree tatty haha.
The rest of the night was much like before, only in that tiny sleaze hotel room. You get what you pay for when you pay $39 a night. Breakfast was at this guy Dan's place, then it was packing the truck and getting back. The ferry ride consisted of us drinking Kronemberg and eating candy on the car deck to watch Marti's shit. Good times!!!!! we took some pictures if you clicky
