Dallas Sucks

Saturday morning I awoke very tired, and very hungover to head out to Dallas. I met Nick at his house, then we went to our friend Andy’s house. Paige met us there and we started our trip. Our main purpose in going to Dallas was to watch T.U. take on M.S.U. in what should have been a great football game.

The drive there was fun, except for a crappy town called Atoka. Cops are AWESOME! (hopefully you get the sarcasm there) We arrived at the Southern Methodist University campus and found our way to the only safe haven for T.U. fans…. The alumni tent. We enjoyed some great fajitas and free beer there as we waited for kickoff. The first half of the game went well, leaving T.U. with a 17 point lead. The second half on the other hand, sucked. The Hurricane just blew……. oh god I’m funny.

After the game we went to Andy’s fathers house for some more drinks and dinner. His father and step-mother were great hosts and treated us to some excellent burgers for dinner. After we ate and played a few drinking games with some other visitors, we left for a night out on the town.

We met up with some of Nick and Andys friends and they were going to take us out to some cool bars to have some fun. We stopped by at another friends apartment to meet with Paige and start the evening. We walked into the most snobby, stuck up, ‘holier than thou’ atmosphere I have ever been in. I walked in, case of beer in hand and got some great looks. I could have sworn I just walked into that ‘Laguna Beach’ show. I knew right away I didn’t like anyone in the room. I opened a beer, stood against the wall, and watched the show. These people were completely full of themselves. I later learned from Paige that there wasn’t a single conversation that didn’t revolve around their wardrobes. I just had to get out of there, so we left.

The first bar we went to was completely packed so we decided to head somewhere else. We were told we were going to a ‘very laid back bar where we can get some drinks and hang out’. Well…. When we arrived and I saw that this bar had valet parking I knew it was not the case. We went in anyways and fought our way to the bar to get some beer. This place had the worst music EVER! They would play about 5 80’s dance songs, then jump to 2 or 3 new rap songs. It was quite disturbing. We spent about 20 minutes inside, then another 20 minutes while Andy kept trying to close his tab.. but was ignored by the staff. We went to a friends apartment for the rest of the night and finished our case of beer we purchased earlier. On the way home we hit up Jack In The Box to get some food, then went back to Andy’s fathers house to crash.

We awoke, got treated to breakfast, then got back on the road to head home. The trip home was uneventful, except for when I beat Nick at the ‘alphabet game’. (yeah, that’s right Nick….. I rock!)

The trip was fun, but was the experience was hurt badly by the ‘ritzy’ people. I don’t think I want to visit Dallas again, unless there is a ‘poor’ part of town I would fit in. I might give it another chance.
