Mardis Gras Weekend

This weekend was definitely a rough one. Nikki and I drove to St. Louis to participate in the Mardis Gras festivities with Dow, Evan, Wanless, and Brittany. I must say that this is by far the most random and craziest weekend Nikki and I have ever had together. Amazingly enough we didn't lose anything all weekend except ourselves. O- neither me, Britt, or Nikki showed anything to get our beads, we simply worked our charm.

10. Old men trying to convince Nikki and I to go to a Mardis Gras Ball with them Friday night since we were by ourselves b/c Dow failed to answer my phone calls (I should have realized the weekend we were in for at this point)
9. Drinking bloody marries and hurricanes at 10am in the parking lot of a gas station.
8. Dow wasted wasted by 11am. We were all quick to follow.
7. Running into Angie and Ashlee from Carbondale.
6. All the boobies. Actually, I really didn't see many. However, we did see some stuff when we walked into the men's urinal tent. (The boys weren't too happy but we just wanted to see what it looked like in there. FYI they were a bunch of troffs in a line with about 10 guys waiting behind each one.)
5. Me falling out of the back of a random pickup truck (my hands and wrists still hurt)
4. Nikki and I being lost buy ourselves in downtown St. Louis, walking from hotel to hotel searching for the boys, telling strangers our sad situation, and eventually getting a ride back to Dow's from a random school teacher.
3. Nikki taking shots straight out of a bottle from some random people on Dow's street after we were denied from a bar (yes both of us and i'm not surprised by this point in the night)
2. Creston pretending to puke all over random people in the street, multiple times.
1. Evan, Sandberg, and Chuck driving down to St. Louis at 4:30 am Friday morning, sleeping at a rest stop for an hour, stopping at the Holiday Inn Express to steal the free continental breakfast, meeting Dow at his work for his key while reaking of liquor from the night before, and continuing to drink all day Friday and Saturday until 7am Sunday morning

We can't all be ballers and drink in the Bud tent.

I completely forgot about the golf cart incident. I really had to think to remember what you were talking about. yeah, i don't think the golf cart was even the first time i've done something like that.
