The Tom Waits Run 2009

Posted on May 5th, 2009 - 3:35 pm - 4 comments

The Tom Waits Run is easily considered the hardest marathon on Earth. Hell, it’s the hardest marathon in the Galaxy. This is how it goes:

  1. You start out at the Mariakirkeruinene in Oslo, at 14:00 (that’s 2pm)
  2. You then visit every brown pub that’s in your path
  3. On every visit, you buy a beer and enjoy it immensely
  4. If you can’t reach the goal, just stay and drink beer with your friends
  5. In the Tom Waits Run, you can’t win: “We’re all losers”

The first pub is Ruinen, and the last (the goal) this year is Fiasco (@ Bussterminalen).

The cover band Blow is going to play at Ivars Kro. (They sell the beer Aass, the best Norwegian beer ever.)

I’ve been trying to rally the usual gang of scumbags I drink with. But they’re out on holy missions, crusades and the Mysterious Mr. S mentioned something about a personal Jihad against a textbook.

That’s why I’m recruiting raindogs from every low-life corner in and out of town. Let’s all be losers on Saturday 9th!

  1. Owh now that’s an evening I would never like to join. Or would I? What’s up with Mysterious Mr. S now days anyway? Say hello from me if you see him on the street begging for coffeemoney. But don’t give him any. Whatever you do, do not give him any. He had enough.

    Last time he asked for money, he asked for three-fifty. I was damned if that wasn’t that gawd damn Loch Ness monster behind that shirt ‘n tie! I said “HEY! What do you think you’re doing, you gawd damn Loch Ness-monstah?!”. He scoffed, pushed me, then ran away…

    Bought meself a shirt and tie that I’ll probably use on Saturday. I also got meself a 1litre-bottle of Clontraf (Irish whiskey), for the afterparty. If I make it home while being conscious.

    By ‘three-fifty’ you of course mean tree fiddy.
