The Beer Tent
After the wiggles concert..i needed a drink..well, multiple drinks. So, as luck would have it, it was dexter daze...which really means, the beer tent was open. Always a big day. Growing up around here it's been something of local folklore for many years..and this year wasn't any different.
1) The beer always sounds like a great idea when you go into the tent..but always plays out poorly. i don't know what happens in there to that beer, but after 1/2 milk carton in, it always begins to taste like shit. And, for some reason, i get rcoked off that beer. QUICK. I came in saying, alright, i'm only drinking two 1/2 gallon milk containers and heading home..however, i never count on getting constant refills from people walking by and other friends....so, i usually end up with double that. And yep, i felt like butt the next day for doing so.
2) none of my 'best' friends were there, but a lot of other friends and acquaintenances, which meant, i never had that "homebase" to return too and talk with someone when you get bored, instead, i just bounced from group to group until one got stale and i went to another. Which, was alright, but same time, marginally fun. Again, growing up around here you see literally a 100 people you know and it starts to get annoying by the end of the nite
3) I left at 10:30!! A new record early time for me! i was driving home and had a plan to leave early and stuck to it!
4) i came to the conclusion...it's starting to get old...it's just not as fun as what it used to be..it's alright still...but not like what it was when i was 21 and everyone i hung out with would go there....
Next year i may actually try seeing some of the other events there...they have elephant ears. i love those..i may hang out by that booth more.
