Louisiana.
No show tonight. We figured we'd explore the little town we were staying in, and, since we had nothing to do until our 4pm sound check tomorrow, do some serious drinking.
Me: Is there anything fun to do in town?
Hotel Clerk: Fun? Here? Uh... we have a movie theater.
We drove around for over an hour trying to find a place to eat that wasn't a Chili's or an Applebee's. Finally we found a tiny local Mexican place that was still open.
Waiter: To drink?
Eddie: I'll have a Tecate.
Waiter: No alcohol on Sunday.
Eddie: What?
Waiter: Sorry. No alcohol sales on Sunday.
Eddie: Seriously?
Waiter: Welcome to Louisiana.
We tried to keep a positive attitude for the rest of the night, but were ultimately unable to make our own fun. Here we are in the parking lot of the Sleep Inn, before we trudged inside to watch TV together.

Don't you think it is a sign of a serious problem when you think you can't have fun without alcohol....Admitting it is the hardest part Arnie, we're here for you.
Seriously, you aren't drinking to have fun, you are drinking to kill the pain.
