Booze + People Drinking = Blog Content!

Tuesday Night: Me and AJ went to a wine party in the Lucas Lofts, pretty cool event, post party we ended up at Lucas Park, the least favorite bar of mine since Cheshire closed…. So we were sitting at a big table in a bar post wine party, me and my buddy AJ were talking to a couple of people, somehow the subject golf comes up, this girl across the table pipes in “DO anyone of you actually play golf?” She points to the girl we were talking to, she said no, AJ said he tries, I said “In a previous life, yes, I haven’t played in years” She asks where I played, I told her, she said “I’ve never heard of that”, she comes over, gets in my face about how I don’t really play golf, told her my handicap back in the day was a 15, she said good golfers don’t have handicaps, I said “It’s clear you don’t know squat about golf.” She gets flustered and says “Are you single?” Yes I say. “Wow surprise there” she says. With out missing a beat I reply “With girls like you out there, it’s not a surprise at all.” The look on her face was priceless. I told her “Your wine and your chair are over there, I recommend you go there, you won’t win this one….” For whatever reason I was the focus that night. Made for an interesting night to say the least……..

Saturday: Went to the Cards game, it was an emotional rollercoaster of starting out us down 6-0 by the 3rd, tying it, get behind by a run, tying it again, blowing bases loaded with no outs, then losing the game because of Izzy… So post-game we head to a bar called The Shamrock to drown our sorrows. L knew one of the bartenders so we headed there. Cool place, it had been redone and looked good. Hanging out with L, Harris and Stiffy, Hammel stumbled in with his cousin. They were 8 sheets to the wind. They order some drinks, drink them quickly, order another round. The other bartender (not L’s friend) puts ice in their drink glasses, fills the glasses half up with Jack and before adding coke, walks to the end of the bar, sits down and starts talking to some dude. WTF? Thankfully L’s friend comes to the rescue. Never seen that before. We finish our drinks, me, Hammel, Stiffy and Hammel’s cousin head to Lefty’s for one more. Leaving Lefty’s me and Stiffy walk up Broadway towards the stadium, as I parked there and he parked a few blocks away. Walking past BB’s this drunken idiot falls out of the entrance with a bottle of beer in his hand, stops us to see where we are going. “Calling it a night we say.” He asked where we are from, I said the city, he said what part, I said CWE. He said “Only fags live there.” I told him straight people live there, the guy was just say “yeah, whatever.” I hadn’t had enough booze to say anything as this jack-ass who was looking for a fight, plus I really bit my tongue on telling him Soulard has about the same number of gay bars the CWE does……. I turn and start to walk away, Stiffy says something so the guy chases us down, neither of us would bite on his barbs, so we turn and walk away and he says “GFY” We just kept walking. We both agreed, he has ruby red shoes at home, he’s a friend of Dorothy……… Thinking I’m done with the drunks downtown, I get to the parking, one last drunken encounter, some dude at the other end of the garage starting yelling “Edmonds, you the man!” (I was wearing my Edmonds jersey) Kept walking but the dude was starting to come my direction, so I quickly got into my car and got the hell out of there………. Must have been a full moon…..
