So tonight I went to my usual hang out, the local bar called the Canyon Inn. I spend quite a bit of time there, hanging out, drinking, etc...it's pretty much always the same, except on Tuesday nights. Tuesday nights are $1 beers from 9pm-12am. Sweet, right? Well on Tuesday nights at the bar they have live bands play(all cover bands) and they average age is from about 21-23, so yeah I even feel old there. It is also just a cespool(sp?) of everything you love and hate about Orange County. Love being the good looking scenery, hate being the bro's and bro ho's(which happen to be the nice looking scenery). It makes me very glad when I go there that I didn't go to high school around this area, or else I would end up knowing all these stupid idiots that don't know how to control thier alochol or tip a bartender, or even wait patiently for a drink. Right as I got there tonight, I found an open seat at the bar, which is rare on a busy night like tonight. Not 10 minutes after I sat down did a gaggle of stupid bleach blonde girls come over to the seat next to me and try to cram 4 of them in a tiny little space, almost pushing me out of the way, trying to get the bartenders attention to order drinks. Now, one of my favorite things to do when I go to the bar is people watch, and Tuesday nights is the perfect night for that. I see all these young amateurs ordering shot after shot and pitcher of beer after pitcher of beer, sans tipping, just getting wasted. Normally if you get there around 9-10pm you are fine to be able to get a seat at the bar, get a table, or even lucky enough to jump on one of the 2 pool tables. Everyone tends to show up between 10pm, where they all come in by the groups and then leave by 12:15 right after dollar beers are over. I swear I think there must have been some huge sale on hair bleach this week as just about every girl in the bar had bleached blonde hair. Its ridiculous.
So there was an Angels game tonight, which they won, and normally after a game a few of the guys come into the bar. Tonight was no exception. Tonight featured Adam Kennedy, John Lackey, Jeff Weaver, Jered Weaver (who pitched tonight and won, he is now 4-0 in his first 4 major league starts as a pitcher, first Angel to do that since 1962), and Mike Napoli. Now don't get me wrong, I am all about these dudes coming in and drinking, but so far this year, everytime I have seem them come into the bar after a game, they have lost the next day, actually they have gone on a losing streak. I know they have won a few in a row now, but if they mess it up, I am going to be pissed. I don't know if any of the other Angels fans in the bar notice it(which there are A LOT), but I sure do, so we will just see if they win tomorrow or not. My bet is that they lose and I am willing to put money on it. Also it is just so amazing to see how many chicks just flock to these guys, its so outrageous.
Got SuSIII 2 this week on the 4th street poker tour, will update after that happens. Might post a movie review soon, I watched The Squid & The Whale last night. It was quite depressing, very good, but very depressing, especially after experiencing a lot of what happened in the movie...so don't know if I am ready for a full on review yet. Thursday I should be getting a new shipment from Netflix of Match Point, Hustle & Flow, and Dave Chapelle's Block Party
well time to go watch Last Comic Standing on my TiVo and then go to sleep.
Drinking far from the town you went to high school in is a good idea. When I go home to visit I'm usually happy that I only have to run into people I went to high school with once a year.
