LOL, I was just going through my handheld clearing out some pictures/video, and found this. Oh, yeah, I remembered. THAT's why I wound up getting so drunk after all. I was good, because I was hung over from a gig the night before, but as the night approched after-midnight status...

First, this was taken at the (in)famous Balmy Beach Club. This club was the original home of the Argonaunt Rowing Club, who later became the CFL Toronto Argos. This place is full of trophys from Rowing, Rugby, etc., including a couple of Grey Cups. THIS trophy, lol, I took a picture of, because someone in the crowd that night decided to start drinking out of it. It was HER trophy after all. She had won it, I guess it was the previous summer, for an individual rowing effort of some kind that I can't quite recall correctly.
How often do you get to drink out of a cup like this?
Anyway, she passed it around, and not too many people took her up on her offer, and I thought, what the hell is wrong with you people? Someone offers you the chance to drink out of a massive victory cup, full of COLD beer (mmmm...), and you don't bite? I had to take charge of the situation, of course! I showed them all what they were missing out on, and, well, it gets a little hazy after that, but I remember I got a few recruits for her. But she was cute. In the end, I don't think needed much help.

St. Pat's was great! I even emailed a friend in Ireland. An actual Irish friend who lives there, not a friend who was just there by chance, eh? I've never had a friend in Ireland before, so that's progress, right?
