let's talk about last night

So... we attempted to celebrate mardi gras in crazy mo style - we drove to downtown stl to catch a shuttle to soulard (me, eric wise and amanda)
we found the shuttle at the designated spot (written on a used envelope of eric's?) and I went up to the driver
she seemed a little preoccupied, but i thought nothing of it at the time
i asked her- is this the shuttle to soulard? (nod) can we come on? (nod) thanks!
we got on, sat near the front, and proceeded to whine and chatter about not leaving for the next 15 minutes
the bus did not leave for QUITE SOME TIME
i made several references to No Exit that got no laughs from the rest of the bus
what amused me about the situation is that the whole bus was filled with drunk, ridiculously looking people, and we all were expecting to leave at any moment, but none would set out on their own to investigate (including me) nor would we face the not-so-cold, prob mile long walk
so we finally switch shuttles, and get on THE SLOWEST SHUTTLE IN THE WORLD
finally to soulard, walk around, get accosted by drunk men, get humped, witness a RIOT, then decide to walk home
so we walk in the direction of where we assumed we previously came from- only to NOT FIND A SHUTTLE, and we (not really decide to but end up...) walking from soulard to downtown stl...
which i actually thought was the highlight of the night, great exercise, get to see the city (the rest of the group def did not think so...)
on another note, john and i have decided to incorporate the word dead into the conversation as much as possible

OHHH i'm auditioning for another play- tuesday
the same day A FRIEND OF MINE is bringing me to speed dating- which i'm going to chalk up as a great place to find inspiration for the screenplay- you all know how i love awkward situations!
