So it's night number four in South Dakota
I've been connected to Raul and Sharpie for the past four days like one of those episodes where we accidently glued ourselfs to each other
and we have been hitting it hard for the past four days thanks to Duper
he kept us on a crazy schedule that started in the morning and ended in the morning
We closed down every bar we went to
at the end of the night it was only the four of us and the people who work in the bar
I don't think I've ever seen the sun come up that many consecutive days in a row
now on our last night we're in the car drinking like we're all 17 again
because we ran out of money and needed to save what we had to get home
we're in the parking lot of the largest bar I've been to in my life
we were gonna call it a night early because Duper had to go back to work the next day and we were tired and broke
he talked us into going to the car and drinking the bottle we had bought earlier because his girlfriend was on her way to meet us this night (the only night she can party with us)
he wouldn't let us leave
when she gets there Duper and Raul are ready to go back into the bar (I can't blame them it was like a phycho circus, this was Sturgis all the way baby)
Sharpie and I stay behind because we actually started having fun just hanging out in the car and we weren't quite drunk yet
now picture this I'm in the front passenger seat and Sharpie is sitting directly behind me in the back passenger seat
we're both gonna rent a house and be roommates officially for the first time
Sharpie starts talking about how excited he is about the house
then he asks something that surprises me
this is how the conversation goes at this point:
Sharpie " Hey Tuna, do you think The Madnes will see our house?"
V "I don't think so Sharpie, he's gonna be pretty busy now and we only have a year before I head off."
Sharpie " How's he doing? Do you talk to him?"
V " Yeah we keep in touch, he's doing fine."
Sharpie " you know something tuna, I think I miss him."
V "Do ya?"
Sharpie " Yeah, it's funny because he wasn't the loudest, the craziest, or the most flashy person around, I always got along with him though. I do miss him."
V " yeah I know what you mean."
we left it at that then headed to this giant bar and proceeded to shut it down
we did not get Duper home early
