So what has become a tradition amongst JED, is the usual drinking of beer on this special day. This year we decided to try and plan out a lot of destinations downtown since everything is very close to eachother. I had mapped out about 10 different bars/pubs that we could go to, however we only ended up going to about 4 [that’s the nature of the pub crawl, you can only go as far as you can drink].

The [late] afternoon started off at the Duke of Westminister. We met up with people there and Jenn was getting a bit angry because the beer that was given to us wasn’t “green”.  Also, the first pitcher took a while to arrive at our table since there were technical difficulties with the keg. We ended up sitting in the dining area which is very different/upscale compared to the bar area. After 2 pitchers, we decided to head out onto the next destination.  We arrived at Fionn Mcool’s thinking that we could possibly get a patio table since it was fairly warm out, but too cold for some people to stay outside. Alas, it was full and there was already a line up that ended up at the sidewalk. So we continued onto destination #3, Elephant and Castle. As we figured, the place was rammed, but we managed to get a couple seats at the bar and just hovered around there. By now, Jenn was having a “good time” [i.e. Asian glow was upon her] and we met up with some more people.  We finally had our 4 or so pitchers of green beer which basically made the night.  After this we were determined to get food, however some newcomers to the party needed a pint since they arrived late to the Elephant & Castle. We made an unexpected stop at Lone Star and grabbed 2 pitchers there. For dinner we headed to the wonderful golden arches to fill our bellies with nice greasy food. We ended up heading east on Front to C’est What, where we were turned down quickly saying they were at capacity. Although I do think that they turned us down rather quickly, I do suspect something was fishy. We ended up waiting in line next door at the Jersey Giant and finishing our last pint there. Feeling pretty much done for the night, this was the last stop.  Our drinking went from a pint in about 10 minutes to a pint in about an hour. You know its the end of the night when things come to a halt like that.

Also to finish a great night, Jenn was able to scam some free swag from the Jersey Giant!
