Summer Camp

August 7th, 2006
  • Well, my time in Charleston is coming quickly to an end. I thought I’d recount some of the memorable moments in no particular order from my summer camp experience in the Palmetto State. In the last two months I…

Was physically removed from a bar (KC Mulligan’s) after drinking only half of one beer because my driver’s license has my height incorrectly listed as 6′ 7″.

Went to a Riverdogs game with FriendOne for Bible Belt Buckle Giveaway Day, arrived in the middle of the second and immediately purchased the biggest beers they had. It was then that the deluge, accompanied by gale force winds, blew in. I was drenched from head to feet because unlike my friend I refused to crowd into a men’s room with a questionable group of mixed company.

Wandered drunkenly through the streets of Downtown Charleston verbally assaulting everyone that crossed my path and tearing out potted plants by the roots before tossing them into the street.

Got my eyebrows waxed.

Went to FriendTwo’s house one morning before work, we watched Sideways and drank Jack and Cokes. At lunch I had a 32 oz Dos Equis and she had the biggest margarita I’ve ever seen, we capped it off with shots of Cuervo. We stopped at the liquor store for a bottle of Castillo rum, and at the Piggly Wiggly for some bottles of Coke. Realizing that we needed a bag to sneak everything in with, I stole a teal colored woven straw bag from the table in front of the Pig. We spent the entire shift wasted, mixing drinks under the desk. I was at 147% productivity that night. FriendTwo still uses that ugly-ass bag.

Gained about ten pounds.

Met a nice young lady and lived with her for a while. Then she kicked me out and held my stuff hostage, forcing me to buy new clothes everyday. She later asked me to stay with her again, but I already had my clothes back.

Watched an episode of My Name Is Earl on my Zen Vision:M while driving.

Was ranked 11th out of 402 sales agents at Intercontinental Hotels Group.

Entered a few different strangers’ unlocked apartments before finding one that had beer in the fridge and stealing it.

Saw some live CBO boxing at the Plex, and topless bullriding after the fight, also at the Plex.

                        • Next up, a weekend of golf and debauchery in Richmond, Virginia. Then a week or two in the Keystone State before I have to go back to Michigan.
