Chuck's Adventures: Absolutely Absinthe Experience

So last night we headed out to LA to celebrate Melissa's 23rd birthday. Went to this bar called The Edison, named after the famous Thomas Edison. The bar had a bunch of gadgets and lights everywhere and had an early 1900's old fashion theme to it. It felt like we were in an old movie like Moulin Rouge or Cinderella Man. They also had live Jazz playing and so a couple of us decided to let loose and groove a little to the music. Robert's Jazz hands were in full effect. Oh yea, my good friends Brett and Erica came out to join in on the fun too. It was good seeing them. Hadn't seen them in a long time. (shout out to SF!)

The highlight of the night was the drinks. The Edison I guess is known for their special drinks. They have a huge drink menu. After carefully reading and checkin out the drink menu, Me, Stef, and Deano decided to go with the Absinthe Fairy drink. Before last night, I'd only heard stories and rumors about absinthe and had never experienced it myself. I guess you could call me an Absinthe virgin. haha. Buuuuttttt I got my cherry popped and finally had my first Absinthe drink. The drink came in a champagne glass looking thing and it was cloudy white/yellow (kinda hard to see in the dark). I figured hey it prolly tastes fruity, maybe pineapple or coconut. But after taking a sip of it, it tasted EXACTLY like black licorice. And im not a big fan of licorice but hey I needed to fully experience the absinthe experience so I continued to drink the rest of the glass. A few minutes after finishing the drink, it gave me a weird buzz/drunk. It was a weird drunk, but hey it was cool haha. We ended up taking a straight shot of it later that night too. In conclusion to this Absinthe experience, on a scale of 1-10 id prolly give it a 7. Absinthe is alright i guess, but i probably wont drink it again. I'm just gonna stick to the standard O-Block drink. Smirnoff Vodka. (shout out to O-Block.)

Oh ya, and after getting back to Dean's house we obviously got Alertos. Late night Alertos is a MUST. We all ordered breakfast burritos and shared a chicken nachos. Which is standard. haha.
