Post a bit Late

So I know that this is a bit late but nothing happened next week, and i decided to wait because I knew that Oktoberfest was coming up. Oh Oktoberfest how La Crosse loves you. Well my friday began with me going to class and you could almost feel the anticipation in the air. Then i went to work at my game store and the electricity in the air was unreal. I sat at my computer dealing with my internet customers, hearing the screams of glee as the groups of people were walking by the store to the fest grounds. Well that boring day finally came to a close and this is where my story begins.

One might be thinking that I would go after work downtown to get my drink, but I would have to say oh but nay. I was walking my happy ass down to the bar to work. My night started around seven. The bar wasn't to packed yet and I was okay with that it gave me time to get the bar stocked with everything that we would need to start the night. Every thing was going pretty good having an alright time. Around ten the bar started to get pretty busy and I had to begin actually working. The process of me lugging cases of beer through a huge crowd had just begun. After eight hours of up and down stairs carrying cases of beer had really taken its toll on my bad knee. After work i went home and passed out for the next day.

Day two opens around eleven o'clock to the sun burning holes in my eyelids. I got up and stumbled my groggy self to bathroom. I had a whole day planned and the first stop on my trip was my buddies place to have a couple beers and hang out. About an hour into hanging out with my buddies I got a call that the bar was super packed and i needed to go in. The time was about four and I knew that i was going to have to work all night till bar time. The bar was packed most of the night and I couldn't get a break. Up and down, Up and down. I probably went up and down those stairs at least two hundred times. By the end of the night I could hardly walk and I went home and fell asleep so fast it was unreal.

So that was my fun Oktoberfest weekend. But its not all that bad I made out pretty decent in tips and my birthday was coming up. Those two night were a real solid time and I will detail them in my next post.
