#38 - My 2nd Bachelor Party - 1994
Some people aren't lucky enough to have one bachelor party. I have great friends so I had two. I had the big one in Santa Cruz and then a smaller one in San Jose with just Jeff and Craig. We got permission from Jim P to stay at his place, but were warned "Don't trash it!"
So we drove down and decided we should drop our stuff off at his place. We walk in the door and Craig throws his bag in to the room and nails a mounted basket of dried weeds and flowers on the wall. They fly everywhere! So we are there 5 seconds, haven't drank a drop and already the place is trashed. We then decided to raid the fridge. We drank Jim P and Jim D's beer and wine. We sucked the gas out of their whip cream. There was a clear bottle of liquid that looked like alcohol, we suspected that Jim & Jim had put this in there as a trap. We didn't drink it.
The plan was to head to San Jose Live for a while and then on to the Brass Rail. We got to San Jose Live and were shocked to see several women running around in just their bras. Black lace bras, very strange. We proceeded to drink and drink. WE got sloppy and emotional and vowed how we'd all be in each other's weddings, etc. Jeff and Craig went off scamming on women. I headed to the piano bar. I sang songs, and cheered and chanted. I drank Fosters after Fosters. I spilled the first beer of many on my pants. Jeff and Craig came to get me, "Let's go to the Brass Rail!" then we'd walk out of the Piano room and Craig would see a woman and off he'd go. I'd return to the Piano room for more Fosters. This happened 4 times. Each time Craig would end up with a woman. Suddenly Jeff an Craig are nowhere to be found. A while later Jeff eventually appears and two bouncers grab him and throw him out while I am talking to him.
Eventually I sit down next to the wall and start to go in and out of consciousness. I keep nodding off and spilling Foster's on myself. Then I get up and buy another one only to spill it on myself again. A bad pattern.
Eventually I'm sopping wet, so I stagger out to a cab and tell it to take me to Jim's. We drive and drive but can't find it. Then I have him take me to an ATM where I vomit. Finally he gets me to Jim's. Then Craig and Jeff show up. Turns out Jeff had been kicked out of the bar and kept sneaking back in. He was freaking cuz he couldn't find me or Craig so he would sneak back in to find us, the bouncers would see him and throw him out again. To this day we don't know why he was originally thrown out. Finally after sneaking in for the 5th or 6th time he walked into the restroom and saw Craig. According to Craig - "Tear of joy were running down Jeff's face as he exclaimed 'Craig I'm so happy to see you!'"
So anyway, that was my 2nd bachelor party. A typical (for us) evening out with Craig and Jeff.
