On Tuesday I went with Kevin and Nick to a Capitals game. We picked up nice tickets on the club level off the internet. I forgot how nice the club level is with carpeted floors near the concessions and a bar/restaurant overlooking the arena. The lines for food/beer and the bathroom are quite short as well. Unfortunately only corporate clients get such good treatment as the fans don't have access and the whole tier is almost always more than half empty. Of course we all know it's about money not the fans. The game was good, it went in to over time and then penalty shots. The Caps pulled off the win.
The next morning at about 6am I woke not feeling too well. I proceeded to empty all contents of my bowels and belly. After that I didn't feel all that bad and assumed I'd go in to work later in the day which I did. I was back home by lunch. Things were not feeling right. I couldn't eat and was feeling a bit nauseous. The next day I tried to go in the office again without success. By Friday I just felt like I had a glob in my stomach that wouldn't go away. I still wasn't eating much and had little energy.
I did make it out to the Pietasters show though on Friday night. It was Halloween and they had a costume contest at the 9:30 Club with the winner getting free tickets to all of the shows for the rest of the year. Kirby, choosing from the few empowered unibrow women of the world, went as Frieda Kahlo. Amy was there feeling quite good with some drinks in her. The band threw down as usual and I found out I can still have fun at 2am on a Friday night while sober.
On Saturday I met up with Matt and Casey while they were between shows at the 9:30 Club. They saw some comedian at 7:00 and then Lotus was playing later that night. We met at a nice restaurant on U Street and that was the first time I felt like I might be able to really eat. Good thing too as I need my energy today to shoot my coworkers with paintballs.
