Welcome to the ville.
Here in the great city of Louisville KY they have this thing they call the Bambi Walk. It so happens to be on the last saturday in August every year. Since it fell on my birthday my friends decided to open my eyes to the expierience. Now here is how this goes down...
You pay money for a tshirt, this money is then donated, so its for a good cause. Right.....
Well then you begin: at 4pm at a bar called Bambi's.... This is the first bar that leads the way to a three mile strip of bars. 42 in all. Now the trick to this adventure is to stop at each bar, (nicely listed on the backs of your shirts as to be sure you wont miss any) making sure to have one drink at each location. Now don't worry, to make sure this doesnt get too expensive for you they give you killer specials for wearing the tshirt..... And in the case of someone like me, if it actually is your birthday you get your drink for free.
Why do they call this the bambi walk you ask.... Well, besides the obviouse being the name of the begining bar... The trick is to try and make it to all fourty bars before last call at 4am.. Now making it doesn't mean you ride to the last ten on someones back.. You must physically walk your drunk ass to the all. And for most they dont even make if half way. And still they are walking like "bambi" hence The Bambi Walk.
Now me being the true champ that I am (and the fact that I didn't know what I was getting into) wore heels in true rockstar fashion. But I was a true dedicated walker and I pushed through the pain, made it to the end, and was still standing... What do you think about that... It was one crazy , long ass night for sure.
Oh, did I mention I did cheat a little... see I am only about a buck 25 soaking wet and 40 drinks would have killed me... So I must admit I didnt drink at every location.. but don't tell my friends, the are too impressed with the thought that I did it..... Did I metion my feet are killing me today, three miles in heels is no picnic.
