Saju's Last Night Out
So Friday was Saju's last night out in Junction City. We ended in high style. Well, okay, maybe not. But it was fun.
We started at the Tyme Out Lounge in Grandview Plaza, a small town outside of JC that barely qualifies for being called a town despite the plethora of billboards on its stretch of highway. The Tyme Out is pretty good, it's like Johnny's Tavern but with better food and good service. I had a burger under the advice of Pam, the 47 year-old secretary who went out every night for the Week of Saju. It was quite delicious. Sajy showed up about an hour late for his own event.
After that, we went across the bridge to the Country Corral for kareoke night. Country kareoke night. AKS showed up about 30 minutes after we did and nearly wet herself after seeing every country song she holds near and dear in the song selection notebook. A few Daily Union people sang and the crazy production girl came with her boyfriend and her parents. That's right, her parents. And she grinded all over her boyfriend while they watched and clapped. Only in JC. And the weirdest thing was that her mom looked like Leah Shaffer, former Kansan managing editor.
We had about four pitchers of Bud Light at the Corral, me having about six glasses. Funny story, Kevin (one of the DU reporters) asked the bartender for two pitchers of their finest beer. She just looked at him as if he were insane and asked for a glass of milk. So then Kevin asked for Bud Light. The guy at the bar who got the joke told the bartender that instead of their finest Kevin would be having Bud Light. The bartender still looked at us as if we were crazy.
After the staff of the DU sang "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" to Saju, we headed into JC to go to Coyote's, the strangest country bar ever. It is very much a country bar in the decor and the clientle, yet they play the occaisional hip hop song and there are black lights everywhere. We got pretty wasted there, as pam kept ordering pitchers even though Kevin wanted to go back to his house and drink the stockpile of beer he had from earlier in the week. And we had Jager bombs.
Eventually, we did end up back at Kevin's, where we all just got drunker. AKS isn't sure how she got there because she was really wasted. And no, I did not throw up on anyone's couch.
