SCHLIEFKEVISION IN KANSAS:

WESTPORT: NIGHT 2
WESTPORT, AFTER DARK

August 7, 2004 - Sequels are such delicate affairs, never quite as fun as the first one, sometimes they turn into dangerous bombs.  Fortunately, the second big night of alcoholism that started with a bottle of Mad Dog Orange Jubilee wasn't like that at all. 

Starting out on familiar territory, the same QT, the same Mad Dog, the same Milwaukee's Best 24 oz., I told Jodie that we were already in a rut.  I also told her because neither one of us died from drinking Mad Dog doesn't mean we're in the clear, it means now we're only playing with house money.

And so it went, after being morally offended at having to pay a dollar to gain entry to drink in Westport, D and I stopped off on the way in for a couple of hot dogs from a street vender.  She made this mistake of calling the dogs wonderful, which is the name of the Wonder dog cart on the next corner. 

We ended up drinking the night away at Buzzard's Beach, with yours truly drinking Hamm's, sprinkled in with a few shots and finishing the night off with a gyro that unceremoniously spilled its sauces onto my sneaker.  Plop.
