ladies and gentlemen of the blog, meet my friend mike. mike is a RAD DUDE. last night, mike drove down from DC to grab a delicious dinner at edo’s squid with us and then go to a show at the triple.  sounds normal enough, right?  here’s what makes it epic: - last night mike got awesome drunk at a bar in DC. - after the bar closed at 2:00am, he hit up an ATM to get some cash for the next day’s trip.  it was one of those secure indoor ATMs that you have to use your card to get into.  mike got in, got his cash, and somehow couldn’t get the door to unlock to let him back OUT.  he drunkenly tries to extricate himself from the ATM room, banging on the door, pushing on the door, kicking the door.  that still doesn’t get him out.  so he calls a friend who uses the same bank to come use their card to rescue him from his glass bank prison. - finally free, mike finally gets home and goes to bed.  he wakes up after noon, still drunk, and has to wait to sober up before he can drive down to richmond. - mike finally sobers up, drives down, and goes out to dinner with bill and myself.  we had an excellent time, great conversation, and then to continue his epicness, he buys both billy and i dinner.  a true gentleman. - we proceed to go to verry berry for dessert.  after laughing at mike’s amazing story from the previous night, i somehow proceed to accidentally lock MYSELF into the bathroom.  i called billy and they rescued me.  billy and i head home and mike walks to the triple to attend the show. - the show ends and mike comes home at some point after midnight.  he proceeds to start playing a very difficult puzzle game called braid on the xbox 360.  this is a game that billy has been trying to beat for over a year now.  when i wake up this morning for work and go downstairs, i find mike on the couch, still awake.  just a few minutes earlier, he had just beaten braid.  in about 7 hours.  with no sleep. - right now, mike is napping on my couch. even if you tried to be mike, you couldn’t.  he is too epic for words. RESPECT.

ladies and gentlemen of the blog, meet my friend mike.

mike is a RAD DUDE.

last night, mike drove down from DC to grab a delicious dinner at edo’s squid with us and then go to a show at the triple.  sounds normal enough, right?  here’s what makes it epic:

- last night mike got awesome drunk at a bar in DC.

- after the bar closed at 2:00am, he hit up an ATM to get some cash for the next day’s trip.  it was one of those secure indoor ATMs that you have to use your card to get into.  mike got in, got his cash, and somehow couldn’t get the door to unlock to let him back OUT.  he drunkenly tries to extricate himself from the ATM room, banging on the door, pushing on the door, kicking the door.  that still doesn’t get him out.  so he calls a friend who uses the same bank to come use their card to rescue him from his glass bank prison.

- finally free, mike finally gets home and goes to bed.  he wakes up after noon, still drunk, and has to wait to sober up before he can drive down to richmond.

- mike finally sobers up, drives down, and goes out to dinner with bill and myself.  we had an excellent time, great conversation, and then to continue his epicness, he buys both billy and i dinner.  a true gentleman.

- we proceed to go to verry berry for dessert.  after laughing at mike’s amazing story from the previous night, i somehow proceed to accidentally lock MYSELF into the bathroom.  i called billy and they rescued me.  billy and i head home and mike walks to the triple to attend the show.

- the show ends and mike comes home at some point after midnight.  he proceeds to start playing a very difficult puzzle game called braid on the xbox 360.  this is a game that billy has been trying to beat for over a year now.  when i wake up this morning for work and go downstairs, i find mike on the couch, still awake.  just a few minutes earlier, he had just beaten braid.  in about 7 hours.  with no sleep.

- right now, mike is napping on my couch.

even if you tried to be mike, you couldn’t.  he is too epic for words.

RESPECT.
