Calf Fry is a big 3-day country music concert where they serve calf fries. If you don't know what that is, well... it's fried bull testicles... but they're soooo good!!!
We stayed at the apartment of one of boyfriend's good friends. He was pretty kick ass. I got to meet some of his really good friends and loved them all!
I was pretty nervous about Bubba meeting him. He's only liked one of the people I've dated and well, that one ended really well... Boyfriend got major points for having gone to OSU and not liking the Dallas Cowboys even before he met Bubba. Getting ready for us all to go to lunch was nerve racking! We got to Eskimo Joe's late, which drives Bubba crazy because I'm hardly ever on time to things like that. Lunch went great! Bubba and I talked the whole time, while Boyfriend laughed at us. Honestly, we did sound like a couple of gossiping beauty shop ladies. When he slipped off to the restroom, Bub told me that he liked him even though he's quiet. HUGE sigh of relief there. Bub is the person whose opinion I respect the most out of my family.
That night, we decided to skip Calf Fry and let me check out the bar scene. First stop: Stonewall. A dive of a techno bar that I fell in love with! We ran into people we knew, it was great to see my friend T again. I would have been perfectly happy to stay there all night. Boyfriend had other plans though. We went to The Strip, which is basically their version of Campus Corner (collection of bars/clubs in one area where all the college kids go). He showed me College Bar and after about 5 minutes I realized he had taken me to the college aged version of Hudson's (where I work). It was pretty awesome. When a place has an old Mortal Combat arcade game, I'm in. I challenged him to a future, sober game of said game--which I intend to make good on and kick his ass at! He countered with saying he finds it hot that I love old video games. Cheater lol.
After that, we finished the night at Outlaws. It's basically Sooner Corral (a country dance club in Moore) but for 21 and up only and they actually have liquor lol. Talk about heaven!! Boyfriend is not a country music fan, but he takes me to places like this because he knows it makes me happy and giddy and that makes him happy apparently. I swear he's perfect. He even knows how to two-step and dances with me! This was no exception. By the time they were closing, I was out of breath from dancing.
The next day, we were pretty damn lazy. We went to his best friend's place around 7 and stayed there until Bub was ready to go to Calf Fry. We got there pretty late. I had to listen to Cody Canada and his new band (he was the lead singer of Cross Canadian Ragweed until they broke up) while we were waiting in line, but it was still great. I'm not entirely sure what I think of the new sound since I loved CCRW, but its pretty good. We finally got in and got to see Randy Rogers' Band. I love them!!! Kiss Me In The Dark is an awesome song and I got to see it performed!! Made my weekend. We had a few beers, even got a few for free from some random guys (who gave me a little shit for being from OU, but it was all in fun which is somewhat new to me. People aren't that nice in Norman most of the time...).
We had to leave early yesterday morning so we could both go to work... I didn't want to leave... People in Stillwater are much more down-to-earth and accepting. I made friends in the bathroom at Stonewall because I have piercings and at College Bar because I wasn't from there. Things like that are getting rarer in Norman, it seems. The pace of the town seems more laid back, as well. I'm going to have to make a habit of visiting now I'm afraid.
*Yawn* Oh its been a long day. Considering I haven't been off work long, I still consider it yesterday. I'll leave you guys with some pictures and then I'm off to bed!
