Holiday Inn

The last months I spent at Northeastern my brother made the mistake of giving me an American Express card before going to work for him.That card led to a lot of road trips to the Cape via a Hertz Rental from Logan.One fall trip was memorable just because of the chain of events.We drove to P-Town and the Surf Club and spent the afternoon filling up a few tables with empty Bally XXX's.There were four of us and talking to Michael the Bar Tender we found out the Jug Band was playing The Barley Neck Inn in Orleans that night.So off we went with me driving a full size ford wagon.We arrived at the Inn feeling like the Guys in Animal House when they saw Otis was playing the road house.We all went in except for Chris who was fast asleep in the back.The Jug Band was fun and we gave them the usual 'You guys suck,play something you know when the guy at the table in front of us turned around and said "Would you shut the hell up!" at which we looked behind us to see who he was talking to only to find a wall.At this point Chris came in after waking up and seeing a tap-room sign.After the first set Geno came over and said that the manager would like us to leave which we did and drove back to P-Town.We walked back into the Surf Club and Michael said something like are you guys still standing,laughed at us and then refused to serve us.So we went to the Gov. Bradford just as they shut down then drove to Piggys where we had a drink and Mugsy and Jimmy DeMarco met a girl who wound up driving with us to the Holiday Inn where I rented a room after that bar shut down.In the room I had a picture off the wall with many lines laid out on it when the girl tells us her dad is Police Chief in Truro.We all laughed.She wound up in the bathtub with Mugs and Jimmy,I'm snorting lines and Chris has vanished when a knock comes at our door.I open it to find Chris naked grinning like an idiot.Around 5 a.m. we are evicted from our room the cops daughter leaves and we drive around a bit before I pull into the lot of Babes and we sleep a few hours.Daybreak comes and we are convinced the cops are waiting at the truro line for us but no sign so I pull into the packy in Truro get a case of buds and off we go back to Boston.It was aFri morning by this time but then NU did not have many classes on Fri.so I don't think it affected our G.P.A. not that it would have mattered.
