Anyway, last weekend I went with 2 of my best friends in high school, Jenna and Sean (and Jenna's friend Nicole) to Portland to see Daniel Tosh (comedian, you may know him from his show, Tosh.0). They offered me a $90 ticket for $30 so I couldn't say no. Plus, I love him! We left on Friday about 6 but traffic was awful. It was a super windy day and there was an accident in Olympia. We wanted to go down, get checked into the hotel, find a happy hour to eat, then see the show at 10:30. Our plans got a little delayed. The restaurant next to the building was packed, and we had to walk a few blocks to the other restaurant the lady suggested only to find out it was a super expensive sea food restaurant that we just ended up gettting some fries to tide us over. Ugh. We ran into another friend from high school though!
It was about 10:20 so we decided to go get our seats. We passed the back of the building on our way, but we had to get will call tickets so we had to go to the front. The line was SOOOO long! We got the tickets and asked the lady in the window if we had to wait in that line or go to the back. She said the back was just another entrance so we wandered right in (no line in back) and got to our seats right at 10:30. We met up with our other high school friend Ashley, but she and her bf went down earlier and didnt want to hang out after because she is 8 mo.s pregnant so we just saw her at the show. It was hilarious! I wish i could type all the funny jokes on here but I can't remember them all and they are never funny when someone else says them. Plus the ones i do remember would probably offend a lot of people lol.
Show was over, we wanted to go out. Contrary to what you'd think, there isnt much nightlife in Portland. Sean had a "club" looked up on his iphone (like the top rated one) but when we got there and pulled out our id's they said we didnt need them becasue they didnt serve alcohol meaning everyone was probably 15 in there. We asked were another one was and she sent us up the street. We got in and it was WEIRD. Like a bunch of gothic kids and it looked like it was trying to imitate a rave in a small way. Sean said he couldnt figure out what bathroom to go to so he had to follow a guy in and saw the urinals so he knew it was right. I thought that was a little strange. It wasnt until some guy told nicole "stay off my man" when she bumped into him that we realized we had made our way into a gay bar and upon closer look, a lot of the 'girls' were really men. It was hilarious!!! Oops. We obviously didnt fit in so we wandered like another 10 blocks in our heels to a pizzeria/bar. It was like 1:30 but it was fun nonetheless and we got to eat at least.
We got back to the hotel room and Jenna tried to smoke in it. We were all flipping out thinking she would set off the smoke alarm so we were fanning the air and put a towel over the alarm but she lit the wrong end and couldnt smoke HAHAHA. Lucky us, we didnt have to smell it lol. It was funny cause she woke up the next morning and was like "why is there a towel on the smoke alarm" :) She got a call from her bank the next morning suspecting fraud, and turns out someone had somehow gotten her debit card and used it like 4 times! It was sometime after the gay bar because we remember the bartender giving it back when she paid her tab. Must have been talented because most places closed soon after that. :( We went out to Denny's (she had enough cash) and then came home. It was so fun, and i'm glad Andy was willing to take Sawyer alone for the night/morning. It was also good to see old friends :)
Here are my awful pictures of Tosh (you cant even see him), the creepy gay bar, and a view from our hotel:
