Wild
Earlier tonight Sarah and I were downtown sitting in the sidewalk area of Yia Yia's Pizza. I was eating a decidedly non-pizza pizza, the Francais which is topped with olive oil, bleu cheese and walnuts, and it's freaking delicious. Yia Yia's is right on O Street (the straightest, longest main street in the world according to the BBC), or Zero Street as Allen Ginsburg famously called it in the "Wichita Vortex Sutra."
Thursday nights, even in the summer, are pretty notorious bar nights. The O St. bar area, about six blocks square, is where most of the bar goers wind up. It's three blocks from the university campus and about 6 from the football stadium. Imagine O St. late on a Saturday night in October after a football game. Imagine being able to stand it.
Anyway, we're sitting there eating pizza and drinking our St. Peter's Cream Stout when the Girls Gone Wild bus suddenly pulls in next door in front of Mickey's (a place I once spent 5 minutes in on a Saturday night and almost killed myself). It was pretty early but Dudes suddenly started gathering in front of Mickey's as the GGW staffers began covering the windows of the bus.
I didn't have the patience to wait for drunk girls to show up and venture onto the bus (Advanced Torts presentation is due soon). When I left probably 30 Dudes had wandered into the bar but not one young wild college lady. It looked like a big sausage-fest to me. It certainly was not the clam-dig you'd expect from the TV commercials. Maybe things picked up after I left.
