Pub Crawl

I had Farkas, Ryan, and Bryan over for a small pub crawl last night. The ladies went to Bootie, while we had a beer tasting, then walked down to the local pub for some fish’n'chips and darts.

We played a game of Killer, a game of team Crickett, and drank maybe 3 beers each. At which point, we all felt like trying something else. I had a serious hankering for PBR (afterall, I missed Fourth of JuPlaya this year), so we walked the other way to another Irish pub.

To our surprise, it was definitely “club” night: lots of teenage looking girls, club music, and loud. After ordering a shot of Jameson and a PBR for Farkas and myself, I made my way upstairs…

…Where Farkas had just discovered a drunken passed out guy curled up around the table! He was just lying there, drunk as hell, sleeping it off.

Farkas went to tell the bouncer.  The bouncer immediately knew who it was – he must be a regular passer-outer.

“Blonde hair, white shirt?”

“yea.”

“Yea, that’s Greg.  Let’s go get him up…”

Awesome way to close out the night!

Guitar Strings

I can’t seem to win with my guitar strings. I put .009′s on my guitar so I could bend the crap outa them. Turns out, when you do that, they like to break more often. .011′s are too stiff, and .009′s are just right, but they break too much. I’m going to try .010′s next – hopefully that’ll be a decent middle ground.

Or maybe, I could buy two sets of .009′s and just use the .011 B-string from the second set as my high E-string. Expensive option, but it might work out the best…

who knows.
