Apparently I caught Philly fever last night
I swear to god I was on my way to class, it was only 3:35, I was just going to get one drink. How did it all go so terribly wrong? It started out with one drink, and ended with me catching a cab home at 12:30 am after eating a dinner of peanuts and Stella and watching the end of the World Series.
The fans of a city that have 4 sports teams who haven’t won a championship in any of them in 28 years, go absolutely ape-shite wild when they do. I was out on Broad street (the main north-south route in the city) when they won, and it was like being on Carson St. after the Super Bowl, except it wasn’t snowing.
I generally greatly dislike most Philadelphia sports fans, mostly on principle but also because they’re real dicks when out supporting their teams (I’ve seen them spit on fans wearing other teams jerseys, and root for which ever team the Steelers are playing just because they don’t like all those fans in their bar) but last night it was pretty fun roaming the streets and joining up tin the chaos of the night.
It has now unfortunately culminated into, me waking up at 5 am, not too hung over, gathering my materials together for a pin up crit today at 9 am.
Such is life. Tomorrow will be great though, parties, art openings and the Sisters of Mercy.
