I ended up having to work the weekend, preventing a trip to Fredericton for the Andrew Savoy Birthday Celebration Gala 2006. To add insult to injury the work schedule was changed again at the last minute, adding more days to my work week, to which I wouldn't put up with.
Thankfully Andrew, Tracy and Kelly were able to make it here for the event Friday night, and I was able to take non alcohol-fueled part in, as I had been up since 5am, and worked again Saturday at 6am.
The night started off at the Scorebored as it will now be referred to.
Eating while watching paint dry would be more exciting then the new atmosphere. Maybe I will get a business loan, turn it back into a sports restaurant/bar called, "Perley's" -- The waiters will wear track suits and the waitresses volleyball attire. The backroom vip area will be called "The Changing Room" -- Use your imagination to think of what some of the menu specials will be.
After eating we headed to the Bob Savoy residence for some poker, Kelly opted out though and was dropped off at another location.
The poker game was pretty good, I had a strong finish after a weak start, usually my games are the other way around.
We then proceeded to pick Kelly up and head to the BHT.
The bartender made the comment of the night to her, "Are you the girl who drinks gin?"
Soon the place filled up, and while Andrew & I were trying to play our regular pool challenge, Rob from work invited us to a poker game. It was pretty solid, and some good laughs were had.
I recall at one point in the night B. Savoy had the bartender fetch some old school photos of the Blackhorse.
A bunch of people from my work then showed up so I was glad I wasn't going to try calling in sick the following day. Kelly shit the bed playing the machines with the coins it would accept and soon the night finished up with Andrew & Tracy grabbing a taxi to the OH with the fill in bingo caller, although he denies it I know he has filled in a couple of times, and heard him make several bingo references during the poker game.
At this point Kelly & I exited home for my 3 hours of sleep before heading to work.

I wonder where the mall janitor/security guy parties?
This weekend saw my return to the Tide/Cowboys for the first time since the infamous brawl 6+ years ago started by Peter M. that sent 5 to jail, 2 to hospital, including an old lady who was trampled down the stairs as everyone ran outside to avoid the flying furniture. The event went on to make the front page of the coming weeks 'Leader' and a follow up article a few months later in the 'Weekend' when it went before the courts. I wonder if there is some sort of award when your in both papers, like an album going double platinum.
Things started off rather late at my house.
While Kelly got ready, I enjoyed some Prince Igor & Taking Back Sunday for quick intoxication.
We were picked up by Paige & Vanessa, then proceeded to the Blackhorse. It was rather full, full of people who probably didn't have ID's.
Mulletman made me a solid Rum & Ice, with a dash of cola, it went down smooth.
After that we made our way to the Tide/Cowboys. I felt like I was in a zoo with all the Cougars roaming around, there were plenty of people to make fun of, and questions such as "I wonder where the mall janitor/security guy parties?" were answered.
There was also a Dawson Brother sighting. The highlight was meeting up with Franklin V. for a bit to catch up on some good stories. We departed there, and went to the OH.
It was a solid crowd of mostly up and comers on the bar scene, but there were a few familiar faces. I think the highlight was watching the dance floor and Chris pointing out the old lady with no bra on under her shirt, almost exactly at the same time as Kelly & Julie picked up on it, as did the people in the booths on either ends of us.
Later on I met up with Evan C for some conversation. Kelly made it to see the lights come on at the OH for what I believe is the first time ever, it was a proud moment for me.
We then made our way to Subway which was pretty quiet, Kelly changed that outside later though harassing people going into Pizza Twice, by telling them they were all out of Pizza. We then made a mad dash to a taxi that was dropping someone off at Fletts.
