Scarecrow’s birthday was on the 17^th. For two weeks before this he kept asking me if I was going out for his power hour. If you are unaware a power hour is when you go to the bar from 12:00am the morning of your 21^st birthday and stay until it closes. I kept telling Scarecrow that I was not going out for his power hour. I had work early in the morning and I had a lot of school work that I had to get done that week. On my 21^st birthday Scarecrow sent me a text message saying happy birthday, so I didn’t feel I had any obligation to take him out. After telling him that I was not going out he got real pouty. The night of his power hour Scarecrow went out with T-Lew and another friend that he doesn’t hang out with that often. They ended up going to the Meet Rack, a shady bar on Drachmann. I dropped him off in front of this place and was scared for myself sitting in the car. Apparently the owner is referred to as God and lives above the bar. If you go to the Meet Rack on your birthday, God gives you a free bottle of Andre and a tour of his place.

On Scarecrow’s actual birthday we went to eat at La Ferlitas. The first shot that I bought for him was a Prairie Fire, which was Tabasco and tequila. The second shot was a Three Wise Men. This shot is just three different types of whiskeys mixed together; I’m not sure what three. I had the bartender mix a little grenadine in with the shot to make it red. The last shot I got for him was a Red Headed Slut. I’m not exactly sure what is in this shot I just know that it has Jagermeister, it’s red, and delicious. Much better than the first two shots I had bought him. After dinner I went home to finish some homework, and the rest of the group walked to Championship. When I left Matt was very drunk. I didn’t see him lasting to long at the bar, but he was able to stay out until 2:00am. He did throw up in the bathroom, but who doesn’t on their 21^st birthday.
