St. Patrick's Day Travel Log / 17.03.10 / 5 Comments
11:37AM - To everyone's surprise, I woke up this morning.
The Following Evening
11:31PM
Neighbour Kyle is home. I knock on his door and we play 3 rounds of Street Fighter IV.
11:48PM
As it's St. Patrick's Day, we decide we should at least have 1 drink.
12:01AM
I'm denied the purchase of alcohol from Bernard's as they "won't accept a New Zealand driver's license" as a valid form of identification.
12:02AM
I congratulate the bartender as she's the first person in America to not accept my ID.
12:03AM
Mental note: should have offered to buy her a drink.
12:12AM
Kyle and I begin walking through the completely empty Columbus Convention Center.
12:19AM
At the other end, we find the Hyatt Regent Big Bar.
12:20AM
We find out the bar closed 20 minutes ago.
12:21AM
The bartender feels sorry for us and gives us 2 free Heinekens.
12:43AM
Kyle remembers that there's an Irish bar right across the street.
12:52AM
It's closed. We steal their green and white helium balloons.
1:23AM
O'Shaughnessy's Public House in the Arena District is open, but there's a $5 cover charge.
1:24AM
We sneak in the back.
1:37AM
A girl from Haiku grabs Kyle's balloons and pops them all. Scared for my balloons, I let them float to the ceiling.
1:52AM
We sit at Bar 23, waiting for our $4.99 enchiladas to arrive.
2:23AM
Last call at Press Grill. We recount our evening so far with the bartender.
2:40AM
Still hungry, we decide to walk to Late Night Slice.
2:59AM
They ran out of pizza around 1:52AM.
3:01AM
I personally blame Late Night Slice for our eventual visit to White Castle.
3:02AM
Laughter.
3:12AM
Kyle and I 'get sauced' by the new A.1. Saver Sack.
3:16AM
Gentleman talks about how he owns a thrift store, except he isn't sure where it is. I tell him if he finds it, he should appear on Undercover Boss.
3:21AM
Cowboy boot compliments. Kyle talks fondly of drag queens.
3:47AM
Home to sleep to dream.

They're literally like eating nothing at all.
Ben - 19.03.10 @ 4:38 PM:
What the hell is with these tiny hamburgers? And are they seriously proposing I should *freeze* and *reheat* them?
Nancy - 19.03.10 @ 11:37 AM:
You must eat out all the time. So much choice over there.
Johnny Hall - 19.03.10 @ 6:09 AM:
I wish. They were down by White Castle.
Abby - 19.03.10 @ 5:59 AM:
Are these the super loud drag queens outside our house all night? In which case, I heartily disapprove of Kyle's fondness.
