Trip to Ball State-tonia 2008

Well this past weekend was my annual trek down to Muncie, and as usual, it turned out to be a shit fest. By shit fest, I do mean unbelievably awesome but I drank enough to kill many small animals. I will now try to recap the finer moments...

Why do we not have a Pita Pit up here? For those who don't know, Pita Pit is kind of like a Subway-type place but instead of sandwiches, it is all healthy food in a delicious pita. Now normally, I stay away from healthy food like the plague, but during my 20 hour stay in Muncie, I had 3 pitas and brought another one home for later. If you ever see one of these in your travels, I demand you stop there and try it out yourself.

I also love being in college towns. There's one bar right off campus where you pay a 3 dollar cover charge then get a pitcher of beer for a "penny." When I say "penny" like that, I mean free. But bars can't just give away beer so they call it penny pitchers. So, for 4 hours every Friday, large amounts of college kids go there and get TRASHED. We brought some cards and played some drinking games which picked things up a notch as well. We were playing kings and I drew the last king, which means I had to chug the pitcher of beer in the middle of the table. Now while it wasn't a normal sized pitcher, it still had maybe 2 or 2 and 1/2 beers in it. So I was already wasted at that point so I was just going to drink it but then all my friends had to be cool and start chanting my name. Naturally, everyone else started looking over and eventually started chanting too. So here I am, wasted, listening to maybe half of a pretty large bar chanting my name, so I start drinking. About halfway through, I thought, "Man, this is easy!" So I downed it like a champion and the crowd went crazy. I was pretty pumped up. Now, at that point, I should've slowed down the pace a little bit but drunk Ryan didn't realize that. 20 minutes later, I threw up underneath a table. :( Rather than quit though, I still drank like a champion, just a champion who made pukies in a very public place.

After that, we went to a different bar where a band with a couple of my friends were playing. First, there was a really cool ska band playing and tons of people dancing so my friends and I joined in. Normally, I don't dance and my friends don't listen to ska so it was a nice combination of odd things. After that, my friends' band played and they were really good as well. Lots of dancing went down with mostly unattractive girls and everyone had a splendid time.

After that we returned to my friend's apartment where I passed out on a couch where someone peed on it 2 weeks ago. Even though I was assured many times it was cleaned, it still made me uneasy. Even with that minor buzzkill, it was still an amazing weekend....

Love,
Ryan
