Monte Rio, California

March 26, 2004

My chance to finally go to the Pink Elephant bar in Monte Rio was dashed tonight. We had 15 minutes to spare before the movie started, so Dave, Jenny, Jerry, Alex and I piled into the Eurovan and headed for the Pink to get a quick cocktail. "They're closed," a guy from across the street shouted as we jumped out the car. "I think they sold it," he continued. Too bad.  Not to worry, Jenny and Alex ran to the market and grabbed a six-pack of Mike's Hard Limeade. We drove back over the bridge and parked next to the theater.  Truth be told, there was plenty of time to have our drinks, but we collectively decided it would be more fun to sneak the bottles into the theater. After all, if we couldn't go pink, we could at least go white trash...
