McDrunky Adventure 2.0

Sooo...nobody but Brent showed up on friday to celebrate my birthday with me. I'm glad I have such loyal friends. We still had a lot of fun, though. We went to Harry's bar and tables which was really just bourgie wannabe hipsters standing in a room about the size of a two car garage and yelling really loudly while drinking overpriced martinis. We then went to Bistro 303 because we (wrongly) assumed it would be quieter because it has bistro in the name and the clietele tends to be a bit more...gay. Well, everyone knows a gaggle of gays can chat up a storm louder than any group of straight people. Add in a pumping club remix of Selena Gomez and Nicki Minaj and it was damn near deafening. I bumped into my good friend Jim. I thanked him for being the only other person to come out and celebrate my birthday with me. his response: "It's your birthday?" rude. Whatever, it was funny to see him anyway. This moment not only made me realize that I need more friends, but it made me extremely thankful for Brent because without him I would've been a sad sack sitting in a restaurant all alone on my birthday a'la Carrie Bradshaw on her 35th. Yikes.

My First Legal McDrunky Adventure 1.0

So last night...I had an abortion. Ugh. It makes me sick to think about. I went to Henry's on 8th st. up in Lawrence. It's a great venue if you want a quiet, intimate evening. The bartenders are friendly and they dress nicely so it ads to the dive bar atmosphere. Anyway...back to the abortion. Brent goes up and orders us all a birthday shot. We'd been talking about this shot called an abortion. Apparently this girl Tracy did it at her 21st birthday. Ugh. It's peach schnapps with bailey's floated on top and drops of grenadine dropped down through the baileys. The effect is little towers of flesh colored liquour dripped down through the clear peach schnapps and a small pool of bloody grenadine chillin' at the bottom of the shot glass. It seriously looks like a chopped up baby in a shot glass and it really almost made me throw up while I was looking at it. Boy howdy, though...it tasted amazing. well this was only the first half of my birthday celebrating. I'm going out in Kansas City tomorrow night and there will certainly be pictures and stories to tell.
