Family photo before heading out

So,.. when we were originally planning this trip, the plan was for Charles, Julian, and I to go. We were out Thursday night I think,.. with Brian, and it came up that we were coming.. Brian looked like a puppy - he wanted to come. I could tell Charles was sure Brian would get completely shit-faced and possible cause setbacks for us.. so I laid it out and told Brian he could come, but that if he got too drunk and passed out or wandered off or anything, we would ditch him and he was completely on his own. He agreed.

Well,... when we were at the bars,.. at about midnight (the bars close at 2 there) Julian grabed me and pointed to the exit -- "look! Brian's leaving.".... "Oh well!!"

So,.. after the bars closed,. we were messing around downtown for a while and eventually went back to Adam's. Adam lived within walking distance, but it was a pretty good walk, and you had to cross the river, and it was dark when we got to town, so it was a little hard to remember the way.

Anyways,.. when we were still downtown, there was this girl there, some dude's (Trinny??) girlfriend or something. He had came down and brought her. Except she wasn't his girlfriend and he just always used her for stuff,.. this time it was gas money to make the trip,.. or something, i don't really know. Anyways, he had ditched her downtown and she was freaking out big time. Screaming and crying and such. She was in horrible shape. Eventually we left and took the girl to Adam's. When we got there, she was still freaking out and yelling, and Adam was getting really pissed about her yelling in the neighborhood. Meanwhile, Julian yelled "Anyone ever seen DUCK HUNT!?!" and jumped into a big bush in Adam's yard. So Adam was really pissed off and not very hospitable. Me and Julian decided to walk back downtown to fuck around and maybe find Brian. I don't remember where Charles was at this point. Maybe with Trinny.. I forget but I dont think he was at Adams. So me and Julian loaded up with some supplies before heading off:

- A half full bottle of mouthwash (1 litre size I think)

- A bicycle water bottle full of Rum.

We would pick up some other stuff along the way. NEXT PAGE
