Bridgetown Diary, Day 2: "Yes, I need a ride home."

I may have made a huge mistake.
It's so nice out that I started drinking homebrewed pilsner at 1pm, while watching the Timbers womp Montreal. It's now 7:23 pm, and I am sitting in a tent outside a mediocre burger joint, nursing a pre-hangover beer called DJ Jazzy Hef. Also, I cut my hand on a chair at the weird part where the legs and the plastic connect. I put two Wolverine Band-Aids on it. They appear to be working. I ate some Taco Bell on the way here, too. We'll see how long homeostasis lasts.

Consumed:

32-ounce homebrewed Pilsner

16-ounce Gilgamesh DJ Jazz Hef

12-ounce PBR

1 joint

2 Wolverine Band-Aids

I made it until 10:30, but now my body is telling me that I have a choice: Bike home, or sleep next to the dumpster I just shamelessly ate two slices of cheese pizza in front of. See y'all tomorrow.
