I’d like to recount to you, my friends and neighbors, how my weekend went (to my recollection) and what kinds of misadventures I was involved in that led me to the sickness I have now.
Friday night we were scheduled to play music at the Outland Ballroom in springfield, mo. This normally wouldnt make me nervous but the fact of the matter is, the damn place was packed. between the time we got there and the time we went on, I had 4 Pabst tall boys and a shot or two of bourbon. On stage I had a tall boy, a glass of makers and a bottle of water (i never touched). We played and it was ok. weird not having a rythm section. In my opinion we need to remedy that. anyhow, by the time we stop I’m drunk. happy and drunk. then I go over and start talking to Jeb and Jake and Kevin (the holy trinity of dudes who will fuk your world up in springfield) and then somehow I’m transported across town to Lindbergh’s which is legitimately the coolest bar in springfield. We hung out for twenty or thirty and then went back to the ballroom and got some cash (which I dont recall really) and and went to some all night steakhouse that was fucking amazing. By this point I’ve had enough makers and pabst to kill a small elephant. All I remember from there is randomly texting a few people and some people being worried and others confused. Then I remember waking up in a room that was not mine with a hangover that was undoubtably mine. Breakfast came early in the form of a pabst tallboy and a trip to a flea market aptly named “STD.” Then the trek home, which was peppered with long backroads, lots of country music and a few cans of busch (none for me thanks).
I think I drank too much, which dumbed down my immune system and then this plague came about and here I am.
damn the plague.
