Title: Where were you ten years ago tonight?
Post by: Eel O'Brian on December 31, 2009, 11:07:00 PM
I watched the fireworks in downtown Wilmington, then went to a friend's party (which pretty much turned into a block party) where her drug-dealing boyfriend and his sketchy remoras were committing a bunch of federal crimes right on their front porch, so to avoid possible incarceration she and I walked around downtown for hours by ourselves and watched all the craziness of The Willenium.  It was a wonderful evening.

At this moment, I was on highway 880 from Berkeley to San Jose.  One hour on one of the busiest highways in the Bay Area and I saw total of 4-5 cars because of the Y2K scare.  It was hilarious.

I waS also very disappointed after the countdown since the 15 minute fireworks show only lasted 10 minutes.

Well my friends Packy, Bear, Roach (I'm serious), and I started drinking right when we woke up New Years Eve.  It began with beer, probably about a case or so, but then moved on to hard liquor as the day went on. We were going to a big party that night so we just wanted to get a head start, you know? Well needless to say by the time we left that evening we were all blizted out of our fucking minds.  I remember getting to the party, smoking a bowl, and walking around a bit but I have no recollection of the last 3 hours I was conscience so all I have to go by is what people told me.  Evidently I took off my pants within the first half hour I was there so I was walking around in my tighty whiteys.  I started shouting quotes from Jim Morrision (why I have no idea...I hate The Doors), daring people to throw bottles at me, and kept cornering a guy named Geno telling him that I wanted to piss in his eye.  Again, no recollection of this whatsoever.  Well just around the time everyone was counting down to midnight, Bear propped me up so I could join in the festivites and as soon as it hit midnight I vomited all over the girl next to me and onto the stereo.  I then collapsed on the floor passed out but still puking all over the carpet.

Well the initial thought was to call for an ambulance because they thought I had alcohol posioning but there were a ton of underage people at the party and they didn't want to get in trouble so they reconsidered and since no one was in any shape to drive me anywhere they were at a distinguished mentally-challenged standstill.  Then a guy I barely knew, George the hippie Waterman, had a brilliant idea.  He was going to take me back in one of the bedrooms and tie a rope around my waist and then tie the other end to himself so that if I started having convulsions during the night, it'd wake him up so he could....well, I'm still not exactly sure what the fuck he would've done.  Anyway, my pants were long since gone and the remaining clothes I did have were covered in a rank smelling vomit so they were thrown away so they took off everything I had on and tied that fucking rope around me.  Needless to say the next morning was a complete fucking shock.  Nothing like waking up completely naked tied to another naked guy.  Yep, George was in the buff as well.  When I asked why he took off his clothes too, he said that's how he always sleeps. 

Worst morning ever.

Mine was spent at a bar (if I'm getting my years correct) where I got suitably shitfaced. I only vaguely remember being dragged out of the bar at closing time, someone had grabbed my belt from behind and was using it to drag my ass out, 'cause I wouldn't leave.

I figured I'd escaped making an idiot out of myself for the most part, until going back to the bar the next weekend, and having multiple complete strangers coming up to me and telling me wide-eyed about the "awesome photos they got" of me that night. I avoided that place for a while after. Never did find out what the pics were of, either.

Long version of my 99-00 NYE story:

My college buddies and I were having a house party.  This was back in the day when ecstasy was SUPER HUGE in Athens, GA.  There were two other parties down the street from us who ended up basically converging on our party because I guess they knew people who were at our place that knew we'd have a shitload of drugs walking in and out of the place.  Since we all planned on getting Raoul Duke levels of fucked up, we made sure we had everything planned perfectly- one roomie had a pa system and turntables, we had some dj friends coming over to spin drum & bass and breaks, and we got like five kegs since we all planned on being up for at least 36 hours and the beer would stay cold in the back yard until we needed it.

So of course one of the djs didn't show, and one of the other ones got so fucked up he passed out in our hallway bathtub before he was supposed to go on.  After a while, the other two djs there got tired of/too fucked up to spin records any more.  I was semi-decent when I was sober but couldn't beat match for shit when I was fucked up on anything... and that night I was stoned, tripping on mescaline and had eaten a couple of pills of ecstasy in addition to being continually and properly drunk.  Somehow it was decided that I was in the most able state to play records for probably around 80 something people wandering in and out of the house who needed to hear good music to keep their roll going strong. 

And I'll be damned if somehow that precise concoction of drugs wasn't absolutely PERFECT to enable me to beat match flawlessly somehow.  I played for about 3 hours and went through my entire d&b record collection, and by then the sun was coming up anyhow and all of us who lived in the house wanted all these weird fucking party crashers that we didn't know to leave so we could come down peacefully.  Also, we had some really, REALLY good weed that we didn't want to share with these fucking moochers.  So one of my roommates dug out his childhood record collection and played breakbeats matched with shit like Puff the Magic Dragon and Smurfs vinyl and we shooed the weird fuckers out of our house so we could keep drinking and smoke some good dope. 

I suppose this is why I don't really feel the urge to do drugs anymore... I figure the fact that I got through those years and can still even spell correctly is a sign that I probably shouldn't push it, since it's likely that I only have about 3 brain cells holding some necessary part of my brain together somewhere.

Oh, cool side note- that night was the only time that my cruddy djing skills (such as they were) ever got me laid.

Long version of my 99-00 NYE story:

My college buddies and I were having a house party.  This was back in the day when ecstasy was SUPER HUGE in Athens, GA.  There were two other parties down the street from us who ended up basically converging on our party because I guess they knew people who were at our place that knew we'd have a shitload of drugs walking in and out of the place.  Since we all planned on getting Raoul Duke levels of fucked up, we made sure we had everything planned perfectly- one roomie had a pa system and turntables, we had some dj friends coming over to spin drum & bass and breaks, and we got like five kegs since we all planned on being up for at least 36 hours and the beer would stay cold in the back yard until we needed it.

So of course one of the djs didn't show, and one of the other ones got so fucked up he passed out in our hallway bathtub before he was supposed to go on.  After a while, the other two djs there got tired of/too fucked up to spin records any more.  I was semi-decent when I was sober but couldn't beat match for shit when I was fucked up on anything... and that night I was stoned, tripping on mescaline and had eaten a couple of pills of ecstasy in addition to being continually and properly drunk.  Somehow it was decided that I was in the most able state to play records for probably around 80 something people wandering in and out of the house who needed to hear good music to keep their roll going strong. 

And I'll be damned if somehow that precise concoction of drugs wasn't absolutely PERFECT to enable me to beat match flawlessly somehow.  I played for about 3 hours and went through my entire d&b record collection, and by then the sun was coming up anyhow and all of us who lived in the house wanted all these weird fucking party crashers that we didn't know to leave so we could come down peacefully.  Also, we had some really, REALLY good weed that we didn't want to share with these fucking moochers.  So one of my roommates dug out his childhood record collection and played breakbeats matched with shit like Puff the Magic Dragon and Smurfs vinyl and we shooed the weird fuckers out of our house so we could keep drinking and smoke some good dope. 

I suppose this is why I don't really feel the urge to do drugs anymore... I figure the fact that I got through those years and can still even spell correctly is a sign that I probably shouldn't push it, since it's likely that I only have about 3 brain cells holding some necessary part of my brain together somewhere.

Oh, cool side note- that night was the only time that my cruddy djing skills (such as they were) ever got me laid.

I knew you were my hero for some reason.
