Irish I Was Drinking Still

What a F-U-N weekend! We spent our first Irish Weekend in Fighting Irish Country.  Downtown South Bend had a tent party on Friday night where we spent approximately 2.5 minutes.  We arrived at the tent party, paid $5 to get in, then promptly left to go to a bar that had TVs to watch the Purdue game.  Whoops.  We did plan to go back, I promise, but it was SO packed we couldn't get back in.  Sadface.

But Buffalo Wild Wings was still fun.

 We went with our neighbors Tom and Jenny. Seriously, with pictures like the one below, why would they want to hang out with a couple of weirdos like us??















They are so normal and we are soooo not. :) Jenny's brother Brian and his future wife Tricia were there and also very normal.  What's wrong with us? Why can't we take a normal picture?

Anyway, we watched the Purdue game on the B-dub Projector Screens (which are really hard to take a picture of).

We won this game but it was a little nerve-wrecking so instead of watching the end, I averted my eyes and went with Jenny to play songs on the jukebox.  We played Livin' on a Prayer and Don't Stop Believin'.  (Yep, neither uses the letter G.) The first song started just as Purdue won the game so we of course cheered for the Purdue win.  As we're cheering, THIS GUY...

(the one who's hiding behind the gray-haired guy)








yells at us from 3 tables away, "IT'S NOT THAT GOOD OF A SONG!"
Nicely done, dude.

Then a couple of Super Fun Self-Proclaimed Cougars showed up and sat with us at our table before we left.

Tom and Andrew were big fans and the ladies felt the same way.

Here is a man in a wolf shirt and super tight jeans.

Just thought you'd like to see.
That wasn't the only interesting character we saw.  There was this guy...

Yep, not really sure about him either.

After B-Dubs, we went to Club NOMA.  (Their website needs to be updated a little.) This club was quite interesting.  They had a VIP area which you see behind me in the picture below.

I'm trying to make an I'm-making-fun-of-the-VIP-section face but it's mostly just scary.
Club Noma freaked us out a little bit.  First of all, we sat a booth where you could only get Bottle Service.  That wiki site is totally correct on the markup... unless you consider $90 for Smirnoff Vodka to be appropriately priced.  WOW. 
So yeah, this little club is little bit out of place with the rest of the bars downtown.  Look, they even had a DANCING GIRL!! WHAT?

We are in South Bend, no? I give them props for trying.  We still had a GREAT time though so I give them credit. 

For the nightcap, we made our way to...

We went to Corby's one time before with Andrew's friend Jake who took us on a tour of South Bend when we first moved here.  It was packed when we went this time.  Wow.  We couldn't MOVE.  But it was still fun.

Look at how much fun we're having! (Tricia, Morgan, Jenny)

Tom, I don't think those are twist-off! Don't worry, I did the same thing. Ouch. They should put a warning on those or something.

This pretty much sums up the night. 

Indeed, Bushmills... indeed.
