Trip Report: Drinking and Kleptomania in San Luis Obispo

[sledghammer]

Me, my roommate, and my roommate's gf, after finishing a few pitchers head downtown to an "upscale" bar called Blue, in order to meet up with the personal injury lawyer, his fiance , their hot-drama queen friend and two guys who are apparently hitting on her. After drinking there, we move to Mission Grill, where we pay too much for weak drinks. The outdoor bartender claims they weigh the bottles, so he can't make the drinks strong. He gets very weak tips. Still, after several double vodka tonics I am starting to lose my [censored]. the hot friend and the fiance have decided that they are referring to all men as poodles. I object to being called a poodle. Passionate arguments ensue.

Im starting to lose basic motor skills, so naturally i gravitate towards the dance floor, where I molest a few girls, until I end up dancing with one cute girl in particular for a few songs. This girl mysteriously disappears, and I look for my friends. They have also disappeared.

The lawyer lives down the street maybe 100 yards from the bar, so I go look for them. When I go outside, I see the lawyer leaving the bar across the street. Somehow we meet up with my roommate's girlfriend, and head back to his place to regroup. He tells me to grab the beers out of the fridge, and I assume that the we are going to look for his fiance, the friend, and my roommate.

Instead, the three of us get in his fiance's car, 2003 volvo s80, open a beer each, and drive to morro bay(15 minutes or so), where it is decided that we will have a bonfire. So we stop by a liqour store to pick up beer and wood, but they are closed, so we just steal firewood from out front, as well as 40-50 photoads for kindling.

Now, Morro Bay doesn't have a beach, we have to get to the sand bar on the other side of the bay. So we go down to the docks and steal a canoe and some paddles. By this time it was atleast 2am, and some of the boats are occupied, and we were making a lot of noise throwing the wood into the canoe and falling all over the place in general disarray. No lights turned on though, and there was no wind and not even a ripple in the water.

morro bay, we crossed near where all the boats are.

So we paddle out to the sand bar. In the process of getting out of the boat roommate's girlfriend's head falls in the water. Getting up the sand hill is another struggle. We get the fire built, and roommate's girlfriend can't find her lighter. So we drove to Morro Bay, stole firewood, stole a canoe, paddled half a mile or so, and we can't get the fire started.

Anyway, we paddle back in. Just as we are getting close to the dock, some guy in a dingy is charging toward us yelling, and he rams the canoe just as we get next to the dock. Im in the front of the canoe, so I am debating whether to just split, while the lawyer deals with the guy.

Guy: (yelling)
Lawyer: What?
Guy: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?
Lawyer: Oh, uh, Joe told us we could take it out.
Guy: WHAT? WHO THE HELL IS JOE?
Lawyer: I mean Dave. Dave told us to take it.
Guy: Oh, you know dave?
Lawyer: Yeah, man, Dave. we just paddled over to the sand bar...

So we ineptly tie up this canoe filled with peices of firewood and covered in wet photoads while the guy is watching, not saying anything. We are very thankful the second name the lawyer guessed happened to work.

Then we drive home and the girlfriend finds the lighter in her back pocket.

It took me a good thirty seconds of thinking to figure out what the [censored] a photoad is. "Fo-toad? WTF?"

There's not a word in this trip report that makes any sense.

[ElaineMonster]

Morro Bay does too have a beach.

Elaine,

Not the part that we were at. We were up by the docks. None of us were thinking too clearly.

Sounds like a bad episode of the OC

This trip report didn't make much sense, but this part made me laugh.

It was OK - I respect your sense of adventure and reckless abandon.

Also, this is a record number of replies about a story like this without one of the drunk driving nits pulling up on their high horse to lecture you. Could be that it's late and they just did the same thing.
