. I awoke to an uncommonly rude transit authority person demanding to see my ticket. (I should note that for the first 5 or 10 minutes of consciousness I am without doubt the stupidest man alive) At first I couldn't find my ticket, but after searching feverishly (all the while getting the "sure you have a ticket look") I handed it to him, only to have him tell me it wasn't valid and that I'd have to get off the train at the next stop (Boca Raton). Furious, I paced back and forth on the platform waiting for a human being from Tri-Rail to answer the phone.
Boy I oughtta... Just as they picked up the phone, and I'm letting their poor rep have it
, the mind fog slowly began to lift. I noticed it was way too light outside to have only traveled from Fort to Boca and.
.. was the train I had departed heading south?
I had apparently taken it as far North as it goes and back.
Kinda took the steam out of my complaint.
Christ, thats rough.
A few months ago, my crew basically took over an entire club (Alto Basso) and turned it into our private playground - only people we knew got in. From what I hear, it was a legendary time. Unfortunately, I was bartending, and by the time things got going I had drank more than all of the patrons combined.
The last thing I remember is stumbling onto the subway early in the morning. I woke up cuddling a bush five hours later on the opposite end of the city. Whats more, there are no subways in that area, and its still a mystery how I got there.
I was caked in crusted vomit. My cellphone was gone. I had no money. It took several hours to get home. I stumbled from bus to subway, from subway to bus, without paying. Each step was a tremendous effort. The transit people must have taken pity on me, because they allowed me to ride without paying, and a bus driver even made sure to rouse me from my uncounsciousness at my stop. The silver lining: I did, however, manage to hang on to couple bottles of rum throughout the whole ordeal.
