A Church Experience

Well, one of the joyous experiences of my recent trip to Texas involved alcohol. Obscene, extreme amounts of alcohol. A night which rivaled my most drinking-est undergraduate days (or nights).

A night which began with wine at dinner, progressed to margaritas, tequila shots, and lots and lots of beer. Dark, delicious Texas beer.

We spent most of the evening at this very touristy "Dueling Pianos" bar called Howl at the Moon. Has anyone ever been someplace like this? It's very silly but tons of fun and so you forget about those smart concepts like how much you are supposed to drink. And you end up drinking beer. Lots and lots of beer. Beer which goes down like water...

...and comes up like bad salmon.

Yup, I worshipped the porcelain goddess. Now, I haven't been puke-drunk since New Year's, 1998. So maybe I was due? But it was not the most pleasant experience. Although there was a moment of supreme amusment (yes, amusement from puking) when I realized that the toilet seat in my San Antonio hotel room was made by a company called Church. So not only was I worshipping the Porcelain Goddess; she was a true Church!

Anyhow, the hangover the next morning was NOT pleasant, and everyone was very amused by my hangover. I was so glad to provide a laugh... Except I had to tell them to be quiet...

I'm better now, though! Mostly because for the entire remaining four days in Texas, I merely had two margaritas.
