Tom Waits Run – The Aftermath

Experiencing heavy hangover, I’ll keep this short. Hubba hubba ding ding dong, sure didn’t last too long…

Things that happened (not in this order):

• I spent 650+ Norwegian Kroners on beer (plus 161 on taxi home)
• I got kicked out of two bars: Cafe Con Bar and Queens. I sneaked back in at Queens though
• I ate two times yesterday, both before I started drinking
• I threw a half-eaten bun at a girl (who I know!)
• I gave a colleague my bank card and my PIN-code (so she could buy us beer while I went to the toilet)
• Talked and toasted with the lead singer in Blow
• The bars I visited (bolded = beer):
  • St. Halvar kro
  • Ruinen
  • Cafèkontoret
  • Oslo sportsbar
  • Shabeen
  • Enerhaugen mat & vinhus
  • Ivars kro
  • Gloria Flames
  • Venner
  • Københavnerkafèen
  • Choice
  • Bob’s
  • Stargate
  • Cafè Con Bar
  • Queens
  • Champ
• Got a guy to run out from Venner to buy batteries, all because we wanted to skip to Make It Rain (the girls tending the bar didn’t know how to use the CD player)
• When I wanted to show Mysterious Mister S the TW Run-map (pictured below), I found the nearest person with the t-shirt on and started pointing (and touching, according to Mr. S) the person. It was a woman in her early 40s, I believe. But she was drunk and laughing…I hope

My goal was 12 beers. By the bar count, I had 13. It’s not confirmed since I might’ve been sharing. To conclude: Best run ever. Though my hangover showed up like bounced checks…
