Line Up.

The following takes place between 6:00pm to 11:40pm
... on Saturday March 4th, 2006.

It all started with the first crack of the creemore springs beer bottle. I was doing some work and drinking some beer, waiting for company to arrive. Calling up people to arranging a pre-drinking party. Nick couldn't make it. Kristen and her friend are coming, Kelly is coming, so it's not too bad. We all started watching television and drinking. Scott was playing mock poker with Mira and then Mira suggested that they place crazy eights. I look over and say "Hey, you wanna play asshole?" And that became the game of choice between Scott, Mira, Adam and myself. "Oooh yo, WHAT?! President! President!" exclaimed Scott. I came vice pres, I had some pretty shitty cards. Mira and Adam's game was throwing me off too, Mira was a first time learner and Adam was playing horribly for some reason, just didn't make sense.

Then Kristen and her friend came into the living room. "Are you guys playing Asshole?" her friend asked excitingly.
"Sure are." I replied.
"Ok I'm in next round."

We then started a fresh game cause Adam jumped out. Played a couple games and I became asshole. I had like all low singles that round. Cedric walks in.
"What? Asshole. Yo, deal me in next round." And he leaves for the kitchen.
We deal him in and inform him that he has to be the asshole cause he joined in the game. He doesn't mind, so I become vice ass. Scott is neutral. We play the next round and Scott gets president and starts to shout. I get vice pres and we both high five. Kelly comes in around this time and starts drinking a creemore with me. Shit, it's almost 22:30, I still have to shower. "Ok everyone, I'm out, gotta get ready." I said leaving my vice pres position to anyone.

So I shower, get another drink, get another for Kelly, the ladies have already left for the bar. So we all have time for one more drink. Scott and Mira left to get wristbands early. Shit, that's a good idea. So after finishing our beers we make our way to the bar. Cedric, Scott and Mira will be going later so it's just Kelly, Adam and I walking there. We go down the little side street towards the park, on the way we decided to sing some Christmas carols.

"Jingle balls, jingls balls, jingle all the waaay. Oh what fun it is to ride a one ho slut and sleigh, hey!" Adam sings.
Kelly starts to laugh in histerics, got to love how anything is funny when you're drunk. So I jump in.
"We three sluts from orient are, bearing pussy we come from afar-" At this point Kelly cuts me off and goes right into the chorus.
"Pussy of wonder, pussy of light, pussy of wonderous shaven delight!"

We make our way along the cold streets, running into Alymer, walking past the Grass Roots cafe which sits on the corner of Hunter and Alymer. Hey! There's the Night Kitchen. No time for a slice though, there is important drinking to do. Kelly then begins to jeer at some girls who looked underage. Reminding them that it's their bedtime and to go home. It's sort of chilly outside, wind is picking up. We finally arrive at the Junction. Is that the line up? There is about a hundred people ahead of us as we make our way to the back of the line. Fuck. "Kelly go see if your buddy Tim is around to get us in." He looks around the front and inquires. No Tim. He returns to continue to wait with us. "I'll be right back, gotta piss so badly." Adam informs us and he goes around to the back of the building. More and more people are going behind us and the line continues to grow because of it. Girls ahead of us are starting to sing songs, not as good calibur as our Christmas songs, but songs none-the-less. I think the only one I reconize is "Like a Virgin."

Man if this our wait, I better go too. "Be right back guys." I said as I made my way back of the building. I was ready to turn in to this alley way when this group of one guy and four girls go into it with me. So I kinda just hang back and wait. Ok fuck it, I'll go somewhere else. I walk a little bit up the street darting my eyes side to side for a place to mark my territory. I go to the side of some sort of mini-warehouse by some mysterious pipes. An orange parking light barely shines on me, for the most part I'm well hidden in the dark, people are still walking by and they don't take notice to me standing there in pee position. Damn I must have drank a lot. I return to the line up. It's moving ever so gradually.

"Hey everyone, fuck the line up! Come to Sin City!" Some drunk guy starts yelling. No one in the line moves though, cause they know that this place is the hot spot this Saturday night. Fed up the guy walked away towards Sin City with his crew. We now have moved up to the edge of the Junction building. Cathy walks up and sees Kelly and hops into line with us. "Can I bring in four more friends?" She asks. What's Kelly going to say? So we brought in more stragglers into the line up to the dismay of the people behind us. Some ugly girls try to sneak in front by clinging to the walls. They make shushing noises amongst themselves thinking that they are fucking ninjas or something. Cathy takes out a can of Coors Light out of her purse and starts drinking.

"They don't search purses do they?" She asks me.
"No, they wouldn't do that... why?" I inquire.
"I got like some weed in here." She replies laughing.
"Oh, yeah, don't worry, they wouldn't look in your purse."
"Ok awesome dude, well I'll put it under my wallet just in case."
She fiddles with the junk in her purse, I stare down looking at the innards of the purse.

I get a call on my cell phone. It's Kristen yelling at us wonder where we are. "We're in line up! We'll be right in!" I yell into my cell phone. "Alright." She says. "Can I talk to Adam?" I hand the phone to him and a few seconds later he gives it back.

Finally at the door, bout to get in. I show my ID to the doorman and walk up the stairs, the music gets louder and louder with each marching step.

Ok that's it for now, part 2 will be added tomorrow.
