Friday afternoon Myers and I took off to the city to hang with our pal Mitch, Shane from Mane was already there as well.

Mark and I jumped on the bus right after work, and dropped a 26er of rye on the trip down.. Got to the Hotel and met up with Mitch and Shane in the Delta bar. A few martinis later we took off to Gotham for some kicks ass steak and more martinis.

We found out that a (Whistler) local band was playing at the Media Room, so after dinner that where we went. It was Whole Lotta Led with our old neighbor Creekside Phil and a bus load of Whistlerights. It was strange to be in the city where you could spend a full week with out ever seeing anyone you know.. to seeing everyone you know..

Mark went home first followed closely by Shane.. Mitch and I had other plans and kept on given’er. As the bar was about to close, we went outside just as the Whistler tour bus rolled up.. with bus driver Mike at the wheel.. not sure how but we talked him into driving Mitch and I back to the hotel. Not bad taking up an entire bus to go 5 blocks in the city.. I guess everyone at the bar would just have to wait for us!!

We got back to the Delta around 2ish.. and decided that staying up ordering food and drinking more would be a good idea.. you know it never is.. but the food was great!..

I got up at 10 in the morning, and really needed some coffee.. not sure if I could drink the water at the hotel I didn’t want to take any chances.. So I figured I would just to out.. ya, I was wearing the same cloths from the night before.. had not showered or done anything me help smell better after a big night.. but really who am I going to see.. I’m in the city, I don’t know anyone here..

I walk down the hall and press the elevator button to go down.. the doors open and 4 girls from our Marketing department are standing there… So much for being anonymous in the city, explaining why I looked like a bag of shit was not easy.. and I’m not sure that I did explain.. doh

Got my coffee and started wandering around the city.. hours later we were back pre boozing before the Football game Lions vs Blue Bombers..

We were surprised that they had a huge street party before the game.. what the hell were we doing hanging out at the hotel… anyways.. someone yells free smokies, we polish off our beer and are waiting in line to pay $7 per beer inside..

As it was Halloween a bunch of guys showed up in costume.. one guy sitting in front of us was dressed as John Mcenroe, we had some banter back and forth.. and before we know it we have this guy convinced that he should jump on the field. A few chants of ‘Lets go Mcenroe’ and he is down by the fence ready to jump..

He is checking to see how far down it is.. the guy next to him says something.. Johnny Mc turns and yells ‘ can you believe this guy doesn’t know who John Mcenroe is?

With in seconds.. both of them are chucking punches toe to toe.. UFC style. Both big guys landing big punches.. the cops come in.. a few on Johnny Mac.. 3 or 4 on the other guy.. Johnny goes peacefully.. Other guy freaks out.. Tosses the cops.. and starts charging up the stairs.. dragging one of the cops behind him.. out of now where 2 security dudes full on tackle the guy on the stairs.. police jump in and handcuff him and drag him out..

We decided it was a good time for us to leave, as Johnny might remember that he would have never been there if we did convince him..

The rest of the night was kind of a blur moving from bar to bar trying to keep dry.. Shane got sick and had to go home early.. we made our way back to the hotel to finish getting our booze on..

Their was so much more.. but I’m feeling lazy and don’t think its woth going into more detail.. and really “Lets Go Mcenroe” will be the most memorable part of that weekend..
