Last Thursday will go down in personal history as one of the best. Started the day off at 9am...at the bar. My roommate and I decided to watch every single World Cup game drunk that day. We were the only ones drinking at the time (people and their jobs...psh!), but there's a certain freedom that goes with it. Anyhoo, we saw Ecuador trounce Costa Rica. Then we hopped on the train and went up to a bar that all the Trinidad Supporters were at. It was amazing. The place was rammed, and everyone was up for a good time. Keeping up with the Trini tradition, the drinks were strong. Trinidad lost, but they played much better and put up a good fight. Damn England! The crowd didn't seem to care, as we left when the fete was just getting hot. Hopped on the train and headed to Manhattan and watched Sweden and Paraguay's first half. Continued to put back the pints. Got bored at that bar, so we moved to another bar took advantage of Happy Hour specials, and watched Sweden score their winning goal. Hung out in a drunken haze in Washington Square Park, ate a crepe and I think we saw Henry Winkler.
Went off to the NYU screening of Kevin Bacon's "Loverboy" (review below). It was cool because Kevin Bacon was there and answered questions afterwards. Much to my surprise, he was actually a pretty cool guy. So if you get stuck playing the Kevin Bacon game, always reference me from now on.
After that we roamed around the East Village and found a really cool small bar, called Big Bar. Nice place, and we were there catching the tail end of Happy Hour along with a really cool bartender and a revolving door of regulars. One of the guys turned out to be a former D.O.E. grant guy (aka, god to high energy physicists). The fun didn't end there....then we went to Trader Joe's!
How much craziness can we take? Well we got a slice of pizza and chilled in Union Square and that's what did us in.
All in all, a great day.
