The price of a drink; and bingo

So how do you complete a nice day in the city? Well, you visit Pieces of course. Pieces offers happy hour specials and $3 margaritas [on Sundays], so it seemed like the reasonable thing to do for the rest of the afternoon.


Pieces was the most ... interesting part of the day, in a way, the most eventful. When we got in I found Sunil at the bar having a drink. I flagged him, greeted and told him to join us at our table. We sat by the back of the bar, where in a Sunday afternoon is a great spot as the tables are empty and there is lots of room for the coats. The guys played a round of pool while I was catching up with Sunil. We talked about our jobs, friends, and life in general. I found out that he is quite the entrepreneur, as he is starting his own business on the side, which I thought was genius. Why not profit from something you love doing, correct? While all this was happening I had 2 gin and tonic drinks for $4 each [a bargain]. At 5:00PM the house was ready for "Balls to the Wall Bingo." The host Ms. Vodka Stinger was a delight, and quite a lady. She started things off by going over the house rules: NO ties! The first person who shouts bingo [and has the right balls] wins. So most of us bought some sheets, which sold at $5 for 4 games. There weren't a lot of players in the bar, so the odds for our table were quite good. In the end, I was the first winner of the night! I got to the spin the wheel of prizes; with the highest price being $2,500. My price was quite generous, and useful. I won a voucher for a FREE drink every day for a month and a half [price expires 4/17].

Check out the Bingo event page on the Pieces site here: Balls to the Wall Bingo. And don't forget to attend Sundays at 5:00PM for a chance to win a fabulous prices, although nothing can be as fabulous as Ms. Vodka Stinger. If you're feeling frisky do attend Porno Bingo Wednesdays at 8:00PM.

With my prize I got my first free drink, a margarita [which now that I think about it, was an error in so many levels]. Atanas had plans for the night, and Tom and Justin left the bar, at around 7:00 I think, as they were tired. I sat with Sunil while we finished [or rather attempted to finish] our last drinks. While drinking the margarita, I knew I was going to be drunk later. The tequila in the margarita was definitely the last nail in the drinking coffin. The mixing of wine, gin, and tequila throughout the day was definitely not a good one. I should have known better, but I was feeling quite oright, until I had that last drink. I couldn't even finish the damn thing, I had to leave it behind as I was feeling a bit ill and was tired anyways. Sunil accompanied me to the subway as he was taking his train at the same station. The A came after 10 minutes. While in the train I was still feeling ill and was trying not to think about it, so I closed my eyes for a bit.

After that incident, I made my way to Penn, and waited a couple of minutes for my train home. I was very tired so I fell sleep on the ride home. I remember closing my eyes just before getting to Jamaica, and the next thing I know a conductor was telling me to get off the train. I was questioning his directions, but again he told me to exit the train. I thought I had to switch at Jamaica to go to Huntington for some reason, but as it turned out the train was at Huntington when I woke up and I had to get off the train because I was the last passenger inside. After that I took a cab home, watched the Oscars, and experienced one of the most uncomfortable nights of my life [the alcohol was still effective until the next day].
