The Breakdown
My weekend is finally over today...on Tuesday. I was going to break it down in one long blog..but decided that blog is just too big for anyone to ever want to read it all in one sitting. So, i've decided to break it down day by day 3 succinct entries. I'm not gonna talk about yesterday cause it was all just house keeping crap and detox.
Friday: What started off slow ended up being one of the most fun nights i've had in a very long time. Went out to Todd's about 11ish friday am. His daughter was sick, so we couldn't do anything till his wife Sue came home. She got home and we were off to the zoo to get onboard the shuttle to go downtown. The line was HUGE and frankly..it was pretty freakin' cold. Luckily, i had my Chris Spielman Brown's jersey on to keep me warm. Couple older ladies in front with we joked around alot with. They were going to the kid rock concert that night too....along with about half the line. After an hour, of waiting, we got on board (thanks to Todd, since the bus took exactly change and I only had 20's..he had a five, so he coughed up the extra buck). We only were on the bus about 10 minutes or so till we got downtown...which we immediately noticed an abundance of open parking..ugh. However, it still was good not to have a car down there..too crazy. So, we had our tix to the nfl experience at Cobo...and we never went...(Todd actually bought 4 sets of tix since we missed the earlier show with his daughter..4 sets of tix that never got used). We met up with a couple friends at the Buzz bar downtown..just past the rencen. Had a few beers...got a buzz..of course..and we left. We decided to walk downtown toward the winterfestival where we spotted Fox2 Sports anchor Woody Woodriffe..who i promptly humiliated..ME: Hey, woodie..who's that girl on your arm? She looks too young to be your wife! Woody: hey, man, don't be playin me that way player...Me: Hey, whatever, sweetheart! lean in there and give The wood a kiss while i take your picture with him! Wooody (gettin' smooched): Don't you got somewhere else to be??
I got some good pics of that tho....
Then we went into some make shift bars down town that were just abandoned stores it looked like that people had renovated for the week into a bar. Prices could havebeen WAY worse...but they had music and alohol and usually an abandoned escalator leading downstairs to a hole in the ground with a curtain in front if it for a bathroom. But overall pretty cool. It was at our second one of these places that Todd said out of the blue "hey, let's buy those two goofy lookin' girls some shots". i said "WHY??" He said..."Good Karma..listen, neither of us are lookin' at hookin'up..but when you do a nice thing for someone, it pays it'self back later in the night." So, i took my sinsei's words. Sure enuff....the girls began hangin' around us, wanting to dance, etc. Finally, we both realized our karma sucked..when one of the girls said "hey, do you guys want to come to a party with us?" We said sure..cause we were just going from one bar to another...and before we knew it we were inside one of the old skyscrapers right off the fesitval. Security was in there...frisked us down and put us in an elevator the 20th floor. The doors open up and i see a red carpet..huge pictures of angelina jolie, ben affleck and jennifer aniston, and a backdrop with TLC on it like you'd see at an awards show. Then, i look further over and see Dr. Funkenstein himself, George Clinton step on stage and do a concert for about 2 hours at airplane engine like decibels. Todd goes up to the bar and comes back with drinks for us and says..."THE DRINKS ARE FREE!!" Not sure what happened to those chix..cause frankly, we separated them shortly after we figured out Free concert and Free Booze = Great time! Everyone in there was dressed to the nine's...suits...ties...nice dresses..the bling bling...and me and todd wearing our football jerseys. Which, actually turned out to be a great call..we stood out in the crowd and both of us were on comedic fire.
We left there around 2 maybe..putzed around till we realized we missed our shuttle and luckily todd, like he always can do in a pinch...met a guy who took us back to the zoo. Grabbed some pizza out of the fridge and passed out hard....till i got up 4 hours later to drive home still buzzing....Great, great night.

First of all, why aren't you trying to hookup? You need some solid rebounds. The highlight of your night was that the drinks were free. There is something to be said for that. You should go out with Todd every night.
