POISON
an interesting weekend, as always.
i chose to stay in friday, knowing that saturday would rock my proverbial face. friday i was treated to an early bedtime, and an interesting drunk phone call from a certain young laday. i was about to correct my spelling of "lady," but decided i like the connotation on "laday" a little better.
saturday defies comprehension. after a quick trip to the gym, mike and i struck out, for adventure. first, lunch at qdoba on the way to the annual northwest brewfest. when we got to brewfest, i was taken aback. i wasn't sure exactly what to expect, but it surely wasn't this. a full-blown carnival, kids and all, where the main focus was beer. i love my life.
upon entering, we were greeted with two choices: 5 beers for $20, or 10 beers for $25. now i'm not a math major, but something seemed off to me. at the same time, you don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure out which option we chose. it is an understatement to say that the good times were rolling. i got some interesting pictures.
after a short stop at home to shower and change, we decided we needed to keep both the buzz and the sketchiness moving. if you're looking for sketchy in seattle, then there is but one destination: pioneer square. pioneer square consists of 7 bars, with one joint cover, constituting one gigantic frat party. all in all, despite that "not being my scene," we had a good time.
here the good times come to a crashing halt. i was rudely awakened at 6 in the morning. i had never had food poisoning before, so this was a new experience to me. i felt like i'd been stabbed. nausea is one thing, i can take that kneeling down in front of the toilet, no problem. this was a sharp, tearing pain that did not fuck around. at one point i passed out on the bathroom floor because of the pain. after being awake and "clearing my system" for 3 hours, i finally managed to hobble back to bed. i wound up sleeping sitting up, as that was the least painful position.
awesome. anyone else had a similar experience with food poisoning?
moral of the story: you can get food poisoning from beer.
would i do it again? probably not. i guess on average, i still had an ok weekend.
