Ocotober Fest - LaCrosse

Randy, Steve and I travelled down to LaCrosse on Saturday to meet up with Amy and Jeff at her sister's house and then to the Alpine. As usual, the sights were unbelievable, the beer was beer, and the laughs frequent and hardy. We made it down to the Fest grounds around 4pm, and had several drinks there before we headed Cheap Shots to meet up with some of the WIS students. The streets of LaCrosse were packed and crazy! What an event. Lots of police and people, it is amazing everyone gets from their point A to B that evening.

At Cheap Shots we met up with Andy, Luke, Owen, Melissa, Wes and ... boy there were a lot, I'm not sure I remember them all! We made our way to the gay bar, since it WAS Steve's birthday, for some dancing and good music! We met up with some more WIS students - Matt, Eric, Kacia, Ali, Megan K, Brad, Ann F (and the others joined us as well). It was a fab time until the end of the night - when a late and then no show taxi caused a bit of a tiff between the group, which led to some tears and spilled drinks, which led to some harsh words between strangers, which led to some physical aggressiveness and then a trip home for the whole lot! Nothing like ending a GREAT night with a wee bar fight. I'd say everyone made it out safe and sound and only our dignities took a bruising that evening.
