Toga's never end well...

THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE BOYS



Hayden (Aussie) spent most of the day talking up this party at Southern Cross Tavern that the uni was putting together… being that the bar is right across the street from the new campus and just a ten-minute drive from my apartment it sounds like it could be a good idea… We started out with some rugby on the beach, a bunch of the French guys , Mitch (Fra), Eddy (Fra), Hayden and Myself… After we finished up with that we headed back to my place where we cleaned up and started planning out what our night was going to turn into… Hayden got a hold of the girls numbers from our uni classes and they were going to the uni party at the bar which I might add was a toga party… I didn’t think the party was gonna be that good cause this university is pretty weak when it comes to putting together a good time for the students so I was giving Hayden a hard time about the whole toga thing haha… Espen (Danish) offered to drive so that was all sweet, we figured out a way to go to this party without spending any money which was a main concern.. We had to hunt down Eddy and fill him in on what the mission for the night was gonna be, usually he wouldn’t be into going out because of the whole costing money thing, but we had worked that problem out so there was hope! After finding him we all got back to mine and started pre-gaming with the random bottles in our bar drawer… Which consisted of two bottles of brandy, about 3 shots of the Captain, two bottles of wine at there half way marks, and some Smirnoff crap that Hayden enjoyed… After we all get good and loose we start getting our acts together for this adventure, by this point the whole toga thing had turned into me making a head piece out of a palm leaf and full on white bed sheets supplied by Espen… Hayden and I were dressed for success Ed and Espen however didn’t rock out the bed sheets… We make it up to the bar and I don’t see any togas so I start to have second thoughts haha I feel like a tool at this point… we walk over to the bar and its just this big opening no real door and the place is empty…. The girls from our classes told us they had already gotten there and that it was “good”… After walking around the corner into the back of the bar we found the uni party which consisted of about 10 kids in togas, two kids playing wii tennis on the back of the dance floor, a really lame DJ, and then some people dressed regular…. THIS PARTY IS BEAT………… I walk in and then walk out and can’t stop laughing, the girls from our classes found hayden and then found ed, espen, and I at the bar trying to find at least something rewarding at this party ha… the girls fess up to having straight lying about the quality of this party because they didn’t think we’d show up if they had told us the truth which is most likely what would have actually happened… After surveying the scene I announce to the group that we need a new venue! I offer up to the girls to come back to my apartment with me and guys and the girls are into it… Espen drives eddy and I. Hayden said he’d drive the girls over in Sandra’s (Swedish) car… After we eddy espen and I make it back to my place about 15 minutes go by and we start to wonder what was taking Hayden and the girls so long. On that my phone rings and it’s Holly “Hey Matt, its Holly, Hayden just got arrested and takin away…..…” Worst news ever! My whole little happy place just vanished turns out the cops had pulled Hayden over just around the corner from my place and they breathe tested him and it was a no go, here are some chunky metal bracelets for yah bro scenario… I found the girls sitting on a bench right around the block and got them back to the apartment so we could go over what had happened. Needless to say the vibe was pretty beat for partying at this point cause we were all pretty worried about Hayden and felt like we had done him wrong some how… Espen had bought two cases of beer off of the bar tender before leaving so I passed a few of them out to try and bring some life back to the group.. we had the music going and we were all pretty drunk already so it didn’t take to long before we started partying again, I couldn’t help but laugh about the fact that Hayden was wearing a toga and had been arrested dressed like fool… After about an hour Stef (aussie) wasn’t looking so good and started to get sick, she made it to the toilet and spent the majority of the night laying on the floor in the bathroom between spewing spells… Between making sure she was alright and stressing on haydens situation it was all pretty wild, I was really pretty drunk and was leaning over in the kitchen picking something up when I looked up and was looking at Hayden WHAT HOW WHO WHERE WHAT HAPPENED MAN!!!?!?! Turned out after the cops finished up with all the processing and everything they set a court date for him and brought him home.. he told the cop he just wanted to go to be with his mates and the cop dropped him off around the corner from my place…. It was heavy he was pretty stressed about the whole thing, really pretty bummed… We got him a drink and cheered him up with a good time… Stef was pretty sick for most of the night and eventually fell asleep on the floor in the bathroom cause she was worried she would get sick again.. so as long as we were all still hanging out in the living room I figured we could let her be and just check on her with some water here and there… after the night started to wind down the other girls decided to call a cab for a lift home and said they could pick hayden and stef up in the morning… I woke stef up and set her up in my room with some water and a bucket just in case haha and we threw the mattress from the back of espens van on the floor for hayden…. For a night that didn’t look to be to exciting it turned into quite the adventure!!
