My birthday is this Sunday, do any of y'all Austinites know of any places (i.e. bars) that are cool on a Sunday? Or for that matter, how bout the best one on a Saturday night after midnight (cuz I can get my drink on from 12a-2a that night/morning)? I would love any input.
Trashy Island still has 25 cent drinks on Sunday nights I think...I never liked going, tho...too damn crowded. My fave is going to the C-tank on wednesday nights...dollar pints don't suck.
its been a while since i hit 6th... but do they still have RetroRage on Sunday nights? man i used to hit that scene every sunday night back in college! the days i couldn't make it, i would be studying and listening on 101x... ahhh, good times! aargh... as an aside, i came to houston today to visit my family for the hell of it... i'm on their old crappy computer right now and they're space bar is split in half... the left half is a "backspace" while the right half is the real space bar... talk about annoying!
How about saving all the money you could have spent on drinking by placing the cost of the drink in your left back pocket each time you get the urge... then count your money the next day and enjoy the lack of a headache, and your hard earned cash, and go buy something like an "I'll Never Need To Attend A.A. Meetings" Award Plaque. You'll probably also end up avoiding the infamous, "Who the stink are you?!!" Exclamation the next morning when that beautiful date turns into the troll what lurked under the bridge. But don't take my word for it. As Digital Underground said, "Dowutchyalike."
I guess drinking 30 shots a week for the last month of school built up quite a tolerance. The record right now is 26 amongst us which is ridiculous in that none of us hasn't had our stomach pumped yet. All good I'm still here and I'll wait another year to do 22. Don't know why i didn't mention it before but hopefully you take advantage of 2.50 long islands at the library on sat night.
Thanks. That one sounds like the most logically inclined idea. I currently attend NA groups here in Austin, and every principle behind each of the twelve traditions would be utterly violated by my drinking. But that's part of the quandary that has filled my life more and more as I approach this birthday. I am enjoying my sobriety, but I really don't want to look back on this day when I'm older and more stable and think "Damn, what was the point of looking forward to being that age for soooooooo long and then not indulging myself?" I know there are several points, but either way I'm going to end up regretting what I did or didn't do, so I figure I'll capitalize on the fun and buy it out of a bottle. I know I'm wrong for that, but I'm obligated to myself with two conflicting princicples...... But since it definitely looks like I am going to drink, I thank everyone else too for all the ideas. Looks like it's just going to be a night of stumbling down 6th St.
For the 21st birthday, make sure to get all the free shots you can get... However, IMHO, the best bars are on 4th and 5th... My favs are definitely Lucky Lounge and Speakeasy's, definitely check those out. If you're into pubs, my fav is Draughthouse on Medical close to Lamar.
I think these guys have the right idea. Just go from bar to bar getting your free shots. Library will give you a plastic beer mug, and Aquarium will give you a t-shirt for your 21st. Also, check out Chuggin Monkey and Soho, two of the newer bars, next to Buffalo Billiard's. Logan's is pretty damn cool, too. But, Treasure Island usually is the most hype on Sundays. $5 cover, but say you know "Anthony" at the door and they will waive it. And yes, Coppertank on Wednesday's is always fun. $1 pints of Copper lite.
1. Get a designated driver. 2. Get drunk. 3. Puke. 4. Drink a bloddy marry in the AM for your hangover. 5. Watch Seinfeld re-runs. Be safe!
