Well after several hours of driving and a pit stop at Friendly's, we've made it to Binghamton, where we are staying at Brian's cousin's house for the night. Aside from it being absurdly hot, this house is actually really nice. I'm just hoping Jay doesn't rub his naked body everywhere when he's drunk.
Tonight wasn't particularly eventful, but there were a few noteworthy events:
- As I'm typing this, the guys are in the other room deciding which super hero each one of us is. So far, I'm Spiderman because Peter Parker is nerdy, like me; and CJ is Aquaman because he swims a lot. These are the kind of things we talk about.
- For someone who is currently engaged in some illegal drinking, Brian sure is a stickler for driving laws. The kid must have changed lanes close to 100 times on the way up, because lord knows you're only supposed to be in the left lane when passing. At some point in Pennsylvania we started keeping count, and it was something like 10 lane changes in just the final half hour.
- The toll lady was pretty cute, or so everyone else says. I didn't get a good look.
- We haven't even gotten to the casino, and the gambling has already begun. All it took was the enticing flashing lights of one of those grab-your-stupid-prize-with-the-claw-that-doesn't-work games. One dollar and 2 attempts later, CJ didn't win. But the sight of 6 college students huddled around that stupid game was enough to affirm my suspicions that we are all idiots- and that CJ will lose the most money on this trip since he can't even escape a Friendly's without throwing away his cash at some stupid game.
- Jay referred to our destination as an "Indian Resort"
- We almost got pulled over 5 minutes from Binghamton. Just as Brian and CJ drove passed, a cop on the side of the road decided to turn his lights on and come after us. It was scary for a few seconds, then we realized he wasn't after us. Not that exiting if you weren't there, but worth noting regardless.
- The best part was as we were leaving Brian's house. With me, Jay and CJ in one car, we watched as Brian, Jeff and Dave hastily moved the alcohol from Jeff's parked car to Brian's...with Brian's dad Ira looking on in the driveway. Normally this would not have been noteworthy, except that Ira's face was priceless. He shook his head in disgust as he looked on, while the three of us in CJ's car laughed hysterically.
Ok everyone's waiting for me to come in and play some drinking games, so that's all for tonight. Hopefully the rest of this trip provides some better material.
