Fishfest last weekend...Friday story

So a lot of ppl know that I went to Fishfest in Port Dover last weekend, but you don't know the whole story, so here it is, if you want to know (long I know, but kinda amusing!) I've split it into each day, just b/c they are a bit long...

Friday – Kat came over around 5:30pm, and we barbecued dinner (and had a few pre-drinkies!) Then we headed down towards the beach. We wandered a bit and saw a couple booths set up, and watched some of the carnival rides.

Then headed towards the Molson Beach Bar. Missed the opening ceremonies (and the kids’ karaoke contest at 5pm :P) but I don’t think that they were that exciting. “The Bayou Boys” took the stage…they were alright. We drank quite a few that night, and chatted to other random people a lot, so I really don’t remember them that much. But they were good background music, and good to dance to.

Obviously Molson was the alcohol providers, but they didn’t even have Canadian as the beer of choice…oh no, it was something worse (yes, there are worse beers than Canadian) – Coors Light :S For $4 for a cup. So Kat & I drank coolers – they were Vex Cranberry Lemonade…they tasted good, but they were $5 each!!! Ouch!!! But we decided to drink a lot…Kat wasn’t going to, since she was planning on driving back to her place from mine, but then she decided she would walk back (which still didn’t happen…she crashed at my place) So we drank about 4-5 coolers each, then I was tipsy enough to drink a couple Coors. Yuck. I wasn’t drunk, but I was definitely pretty tipsy that night! It was fun! :D

In the middle of the Bayou Boys performance, they had a fireworks display off the pier. For a small town (since fireworks are expensive), they were pretty good.

At some point during the performance, this guy Neil came over and started talking to us. He had been volunteering at the wine bar (where we got a free sample, and had talked to him a bit there) but then was off duty. He was a nice guy – not really my type, b/c he had tattoos & smoked, but I could be friends with him. He’s also 31, so a little old :P But we hung out with him the rest of the night. He was also walking the same direction as my place, so at that time, Kat was thinking still of walking back to her place, so he was saying he could walk me home. But due to Kat’s paranoia of random people knowing where she (or I, in this case) live, she didn’t really want him to know where I lived. So at the end of the performance, when he still had almost a full cup of beer, we suddenly decided to leave. I just said to him “she’s crashing at my place, so we’re going to head” He said “Who am I going to talk to then?” I said “You could go make other friends” He said “I don’t want to” We basically shrugged and said bye and left. We walked pretty quickly, but he finished his beer (I assume) and caught up to us, asking why we were running. We said we weren’t, but he totally caught onto us :S

At one point during the evening, we were talking to Neil about beer, and he commented that he didn’t like Guinness, which both Kat & I are fans of. And Kat says “But Guinness…it’s so fun!” Neil burst out laughing & I chuckled…neither of us had ever heard Guinness (or any other beer) described as “fun” But Kat says that b/c it’s so thick & foamy that it’s fun. LOL. I heart Kat :D But now that I think about it, the way it’s poured (if done properly), the fact that you see it all foamy then becoming darker, I guess is pretty fun!

So there was also this other woman at the performance (actually she was around there the entire weekend) – I can’t remember her name, but it was something like Giselle…so from now on, I’m going to call her Giselle. Anyway, Giselle’s about 35-40, and a fairly attractive woman. Darker skinned, curly long hair, nice body. According to Neil, she’s a very nice woman. But a whore. She was selling postcards of herself TOPLESS in a variety of places (ie on the beach, near the lighthouse, and other sites) She sells them for $10 each, and it looked like she made a good $200-300 on Friday night alone. She also sold them Saturday & Sunday. Interesting… Neil's comment when we saw her was "There's Giselle, whoring herself out again!"

We were chilling at the picnic table during the Bayou Boys, chatting away, when a lady who was dancing near us comes over and whispers to Kat & I "I'm sorry for this personal question, but do either of you have a tampon?" I always have some in my purse, so I handed one over, and she hands me a $5 bill. FIVE! LOL...that tampon was in a 40-pack which cost me $7 altogether. I woulda given it to her for free, but whatever. She was very appreciative. She goes to the washroom, then comes back, and says "That made everything good" and I said "All is well?" and she says "Yup...not quite as comfortable as Playtex, but it does the job" ... it was Tampax, which is a cardboard applicator - not as easy, but flushable/biodegradable, unlike plastic applicators. I found the whole thing pretty amusing...I've never been paid $5 for a tampon before! LOL

There were also these other girls that joined our picnic table, that we talked to a bit. The one asked us how old we are – we asked how old she thought we were. She said about 18. We said that I was 21 & Kat was 22. Her jaw basically dropped. Le sigh. I know we look young, but it’s annoying. She & her friends were 19. Yea…they definitely looked older than us.

There was a guy with these girls that was wandering around, wearing a Hawaiian shirt & bandana around his long strangly blonde hair, carrying a skateboard. Totally a Jay lookalike from Jay & Silent Bob! LOL That was about all the excitement for that night – that I can remember right now.

It was a fun night…we were pretty tipsy upon getting home. We hung out a bit to drink water, then fell asleep. Actually Kat called her boyfriend Paul, and then we went to bed.
