MATS 2004
Brits on Tour
Wheres the Bar?
I fly out on Wednesday next week to spend a week with a Brit now working as an O/O in Atlanta … then we plan to take 2 days the week after travelling to MATS (2 days so we can stop off and get resoundingly drunk en route)
Look out for us… and if we are in the bar we might even buy you cold one
Personally I had great time this past two weeks. First week was spent with Rikki riding ‘shotgun’ in my truck, I think Rikki enjoyed it too. Read about it in T&D in the near future!
We then spent two days ridiing up to Louisville in my Pickup, stopping off in Nashville! , then again in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where we spent the night and spent a considerable amount of Dollars at some rather sleazy Redneck bar (which true to form, we closed!) in fact they stayed open longer just for myself and Rikki. ( we also drank them out of all their import beers too!).
We finally arrived in Louisville late in the afternoon the following day. I knew I was going to have a great week, when I turned on the telly and found whoever had been watching before had it tuned to ESPN, before the picture appeared I could hear the distnct sounds of an English Football game being played, I could’nt believe my eyes! it was the Chelsea V Arsenal game and it was live too! (the first time I had watched Chelsea live in over 14 years!), even tho’ the Gooners equalised it was still good to watch, kinda got me into a ‘natural high’.
First night at the bar we dropped almost $200 on the the tab, (not including all the individual drinks and rounds we had bought earlier!). That first night Bully passed out , the rest of us expoited his predicament to the fullest!, much to the ammusement of everyone! (and we got the pictures Bully! )
Well I’m not going into anymore detail until the others start posting, but we did have a rip roaring time, from the bars to the Clubs and to the actual show itself (even had a tailgate party too! ). Shame the bars ran out of Fosters tho’
WHOOOOO!!! Kristy and I miss you guys Cliff!!! We had such a great time! Not to mention I can’t hardly remember anything after 1am Friday. LOL Thank you for teaching us all the slang (we have used it quite a bit) and for some awesome memories of MATS 2004. I have some pics to email you, I will be getting them out soon. How was Coyotes Sat. nite? Give us a ring at the office sometime!!!
