    you get the cliff notes version:

    Picture it: San Fran
    I didn't have anything to eat ALL DAY. Drove with a big group of people to the Hard Rock
    It was about 5pm
    I was sitting on the inside of the booth...overlooking the sidewalk (HRC-SF is a corner building) floor to ceiling windows, so people on the outside can see you on the inside
    I wanted a coke/sprite-SF water is gross, it's cloudy
    Somebody told me "shut-up and drink a hurricane"
    I was really thirsty, and the waitress brings out the drinks before my coke :x
    Then she brings out the spinach artichoke dip...still waiting on my coke...I'm REALLY THIRSTY, so I keep drinking the hurricane
    I ate the spinach artichoke dip
    I suddenly don't feel so great, "I need to go to the bathroom" I said
    the guy I'm sitting next to keeps talking, he's one of those obnoxious loud jock types
    "MOVE IT!"
    he still keeps yapping away
    Do I puke on the window? what do I do?
    "MOVE!"
    "aw...you can wait"
    I see 2 empty water glasses on the table...and fill them with a mixture of artichoke dip and hurricane
    "Oh, guess you really did need to use the bathroom"
    :roll:
    I never got my coke.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    at least I was 'clean' about it...i could have puked all over the window and given everybody a show.

    If I puked on the guy next to me, he would have puked in return...he literally jumped over the guy who was on his other side...he has a weak stomach.

    I don't know if I would have made it to the bathroom anyway. It was downstairs on the opposite end of the building...ALL the HRC's I've been to are like that... way back in the corner, a nice hike to get to. New Orleans, San Fran, Seattle, Orlando, Los Angeles.

    that's why I don't drink that much anymore...I handle 'food alcohol' better...like alcoholic whipped cream, ice cream mudslides, jello shots.

    Yikes again!!! I think the moral of the story is that RKCNDY is not allowed to drink hurricanes within a 5 mile radius of any Hard Rock! :lol:

    I know they do!!! haha! According to one of MGM's security guards, it's the only table like that in the country. Some of the craziest shit I've ever seen happen in Vegas has happened at that table at like 3am.

    I know one of the places in downtown Vegas had one but the last time I saw it there was in 07...wonder if the MGM bought that one? Now I'm even more excited.

    Yes. Last year I must have stood and stared at those leaning buildings for an hour or so. I was walking back to the Luxor after a very long overnight session and I was extremely intoxicated at 10 or 11 in the morning. I'm sure people were staring at me! :lol:
