PURDUE TRIP 2018

YEAR #15

10/18/2018 11/15/2018

And we’re back!

Sort of. We had to kill time at the Airport Hilton Bar waiting for Terry.

It’s also not the right weekend. Initially scheduled for weekend of 10/18… Bob miscalculated an “important date”... so we last minute rescheduled to a much colder 11/15. But at least he bought us first class tickets. Not sure how Terry flew.

Ok… now we’re back! Planning in the AirBnB

Dinner at the Angry Pig Tavern.

Terry (once known as T-Bone) and now a vegitarian (AKA Vegiterry) sizes up his options.

10 years ago...

In any event… we find a beer.

Next stop. We find a place with more beer.

This cute little tavern is advertising “Blackout Wednesday” next week.

Late night we ended up in a bizzaro local bar where there was [basically] a talent show going on and a wide variety of art on the wall.

The talent show in the distance.

Our tradition for breakfast the last couple years...

The trip south.

Getting settled.

Dinner at Lafayette Brewing Company which I haven’t been to since college.

Bob doing his other-dimension head blur trick

Next to another Lafayette Bar. Terry finds the schedule and points at the warmer/better game we were SUPPOSED to be attending.

This is the colder shittier game we’re at:

Anyhoo… we’re all having a fun time.

Then a Harry’s Long Island Iced Tea and cherry nuts.

Goose arrives.

The standard Harry’s night ensues.

A photo of Harry’s the next morning. A strong Breakfast Club showing. One of these years...

Off to the Legacy Pub in Lafayette for lunch before the game.

Vegiterry evaluates his options.

And has to explain to Goose how humans can survive without meat and cheese.

Back to Harry’s. Looks like we’re gonna watch the game here.

Initials still holding on...

Watching the game...

Same three in 2010:

The game continues...

What happens next is a bit complicated and there are no photos.

Goose was asked to leave Harry’s. So we left.

We stop at BWW for some food and figure out the next move since not spending the night at Harry’s does not seem like a realistic option.

We execute our plan.

Goose before being transformed.

The new Goose (AKA The Grouse) in full disguise.

(spoiler alert this does not help us get back in to Harry’s later)

But before trying out the disguise… we warm up at another Lafayette bar.

That is actually the end of my camera roll. Indeed we did try to get back in to Harry’s and were turned away. The crew dispersed after this with some going to Where Else and me… going back to the hotel.

In the morning I rented a Bird scooter and rode around campus….

Until it was once again time to go home.
