To Cooky's or to Bed...?

As I'm sure you all are aware, there was a game a couple nights ago between the Redskins and the Cowboys. As it turned out, Sky Sports (the only network this side of the pond that carries NFL games) decided to air this game-->basically, every Sunday during the football season they only show one of the 1 o'clock and one of the 4 o'clock NFL games. If you ask me their algorithm for choosing which games to air, I couldn't tell you cause sometimes they pick of the most games (one week those chose to show Tampa vs. Tennessee or something). So, this being one of the 'Skins most important games of the season, around 10:30pm (i.e. 4:30pm EST) I made my way down to Yours Sports Bar (the American sports bar, two doors down from my flat, that shows the games)...


Long story short, because the outcome of the game doesn't merit discussion, I met this dude there from the N.O. that told me he can get into this club called Cooky's for free. The funny thing is, Cooky's is about the only club in Frankfurt I'm familiar with (I went there my very first night in Frankfurt and had a night very similar to "One Night Only"...but that's another story altogether). We exchanged numbers and he told me to hit him up on Tuesday, as that is one of the best nights to go to the club.

Fast forward to Tuesday, I can't find the paper I wrote his number down on. As I write this blog, it's now Tuesday at 1am (when clubs in Frankfurt get to jukin', regardless of whether its the weekend or weeknight) and I'm still up. I also feel like I'm horrible at keeping up with contacts (not just here, but at home as well), so going would be my attempt to break the habit. On the other hand, I think the subways are closed now and its quite a walk there (although managable; I'd probably take a taxi back). Furthermore, if I go, I'm most likely not going to get in for the free.99. So basically I'd be going just to maintain a contact...and maybe have a little fun, although I wouldn't be drinking much at all given I have to work tomorrow (there's no Thanksgiving holiday over here, remember?). I also haven't been getting much sleep during the work week...but that' ya'lls fault--I gotta make sure these blogs are consistent (and tight). So...(you know what time it is):

Pop quiz, hot shot...

Do you go to Cookys or to bed?

Cheers.
