Last Sunday I was invited to sell my feather roach clips at the aptly-titled feather sundays. The party is thrown by Ryan and Marcia of the former Rehab parties.
The theme for this event was Malibu 1974. I dressed to impress in my light blue bell bottoms, yellow roller disco shirt with light blue top, Foster Grant sunglasses, and suede hat. I was looking very groovy.
The party ran from 3-8PM, so I got there early to set up my wares. I ate breakfast that morning, but wasn't hungry for lunch at all by 2, so I went without snacking. This, as it turns out, was a mistake.
I began drinking Absolut Citron on the rocks, as is my habit these days. Also, I had to drink small glasses because my pants were so damn tight my bladder didn't have much holding room. But my ass looked scrumptious in my jeans, as I was told multiple times.
As the party lasted a long time, my goal was to sell as many roach clips as I spent in drinks and at least come home breaking even. I was on track with that for a while, selling enough clips to keep me intoxicated. But at some point in the evening, the lack of food in my stomach and impaired mental state caused me to make a bad decision: to drink my dinner.
I'm not sure at exactly what time I blacked out. I want to say around 7PM. I was there until 9:30 at night, but I know several hours passed where I was standing yet mentally incapacitated. The day went pretty slow, but then a horde of people showed up at the end. I remember seeing and talking to bunches of people who arrived late, but I can't remember a single conversation.
Fans, if I saw and offended or embarrassed you in any way, as is my standard behavior in blackout mode, I do apologize. I was not myself.
I made it home that evening having lost my sunglasses, my cigarettes, and any recollection of the last few hours. My wallet was short about ten dollars from when I came in, which means that I almost met my goal of not spending more than I sold, but not quite.
If I had to go back and do it all over again, I'd replace those last three or four drinks with a healthy sandwich.
