Free Drink Friday!
It’s Friday!! Oh how I thought it would never get here. Tonight I am going downtown with one of my new friends. I am super excited because she just moved down here and I get to introduce her to Free Drink Friday.
Let me explain…
Friday (two weeks ago around 5:30) I sat on the phone with my friend trying to determine what plans we wanted to make for the night. The conversation was the usual indecisive “What do you want to do?”… “Well I don’t care, what do you want to do?.” (Can I just say I hate those types of conversations) Anyway, we tossed around many ideas – movies, game night, dancing, the usual bars, before finally decided that we would go out to eat and then hit up some of the bars. The only difference between tonight and any other Friday night was that we were going out with one goal in mind –meet some new people. Sometimes you get stuck in a place where you are constantly doing the same things - eating the same foods, hanging out with the same people, going to the same places. Now I am NOT saying this is a bad thing... it’s just nice to do something different every now and then. So we got all dressed up and we went downtown to grab a bite to eat. When we finished we realized it was still extremely early. People wouldn’t be out at the bars for another two or three hours. If we could make it past 9:30 we were going to be in for a long night. As we walked down the street I saw a friend from home standing outside a local bar. He obviously worked there and the next thing I know he motioned for us to come inside for a drink. Well this started the “Free Drink Friday.” As my friend (sorry I vow not to use real names on here) explained to him that we didn’t really have any plans for the night, I suddenly got this great idea. Why don’t we go on a scavenger hunt? Two shots and one very tall Spanish drink later he had sent us off with a list. Basically – we had three other bars to go to where we were to find his friends that were bartenders to give them each a note. We never even made it past that very first bar we went to. In case you are wondering YES we did meet some new people. We even almost met a group of Italians but I think we might have offended when we called them some sort of noodle. I knew immediately we were in for a night that would ultimately end in a cab ride back to my friends house (where my car was parked) so I could crash at her house. Might I just add here, the other day I heard her recollection of the night and it somewhat varied from mine. It was hilarious.
What started out as a very boring Friday turned into one of the craziest Fridays I have had in a very long time. Random nights like that are usually the best ! I am looking forward to tonight - I hope its another Free Drink Friday.
