Late Getting It Up

I know this is not a prompt posting, but it is a posting nonetheless. This weekend was Blocktoberfest in my local town. They section off 5 blocks and the area becomes a huge block party with 5 stages, beer trucks, food venders and rides for all. Seems like fun, but of course I am not drinking. Not that you have to drink to have a good time, but you know what I mean.

I go with 2 friends and we show up about 2 pm, the festivities started at noon. We do a lap before we commit and of course hit the beer truck. The bands they have on the stages are strictly local. No major named bands are playing, but some have hit the college circuit, so I was familiar with some the names. Most of the bands play covers, so it is just a matter of the type of music your into. We like it all, so we just walked around.

Being the sober one of the group, I was thinking this was not as fun as the Shamrockfest, same thing but help on St Patty's Day, I partied there last year. Then I realized I drank at that one. I guess the beer makes all the other drunks more tolerable.

Being sober did have the advantage of looking at women without the use of beer goggles. Lord was there some white trash there. I was so shocked. I think I saw 2 women who met my standards of hot damness! Of course they were with someone.

We headed to another bar later that night, after watching GA Tech get their asses kicked by VA Tech-can you say FIFTY ONE, hee hee. This other bar we go to is a true college bar without the college. The bar reminds me of a fraternity house. Pool tables, foosball tables, flip cup tables, beer pong tables, stick floors, Christmas lights strung up as the only light source, couches from the 70's that you could probably get an STD from and the stale air smells of smoke that hits you when the door opens. Man I miss my fraternity house, but I digress. So we go to this bar to get our beer pong tournament started. We have 10 people with us and we are about to get crazy, well they are, I'm not drinking.

When we get to the bar we find out that the ABC board has made it illegal for any type of bar to allow drinking games on their premises. Now coming from the Greek world, I knew drinking games was a No-No, but I didn't mind playing it at a 3rd party vender. But no more, they took our fun away. Talk about a party pooper. So they just ordered pitches and hung out a the bar, I watched the UGA game and supported my dawgs as they killed MS.

Even thought I didn't drink I had a great time and I want everyone to know that Beer Pong is a fun game and can be played at a bar and people don't get hurt nor do they drink excessively while playing (just in case any ABC members are reading)

Peace,
DeMo
