On passing out
August 21st, 2008
When we were in college my roommate Jon and I could drink all night long. Beer, shots, vodka, whiskey - it didn’t matter. Sit it in front of us and we’d drink until 6am with you. This weekend Jon and I went to LA to visit our friends Laef and Allison and I realized something had changed. Maybe we’re getting older but we just couldn’t seem to party as long as we used to.
Here’s some action shots from separate nights in LA:
Jon starts fading (night 1)
Jon falls asleep with a beer in his hand (night 2)
Jon in the worlds most uncomfortable position (night 3)
Jon takes a time out at the bar and is oblivious to Allison
Not to be outdone Allison decided to hammer 8 bottles of sake and pass out in the sushi restaurant.
Which reminds me of her last visit to St. Louis (at Lumiere Place)
You’ll notice none of these include pictures of me. There is some rumor of me falling asleep with a full beer in my hand and then spilling it on myself but with no photographic evidence I doubt it happened.
Update: You can read Allison’s account on her blog.

In Chicago expect a full return of the Margarita Pizza and Old Style pink vomit express. Can’t wait!

Oh and Allison — I swapped the questionable picture for one with a photoshopped artificial jawline. No need to go to the gym tonight!

Holllllla!
But still. I am in a restaurant. Not on my couch. This is ruining my rep.
Oh wait. I never had a rep.
I will never drink sake the same again.

The best was when the random peeps asked “Is she okay?”

If it weren’t for the different clothes in Jon’s pics, you’d think it was all the same night and merely a progression of events….like a flip book!

Chicago sounds cool. When are you guys going? Wait when am I going? What date is that? What a mess!

@Derek — I’m not sure what’s going on in the 3rd picture. Did he pass out and slump down like that or was he playing with the cat and pass out? We may never know.
@Scott — Thank god you’re not planning this trip. Remember the Ozarks trip? I believe everyone screamed in unison “Just pick something!” We’ve got this one covered big fella.
