9:00 A.M., JET LAG LOUNGE, 610 FLORIDA ST.
I get to Jet Lag just as the doors are opening. First customer in the bar, lucky me. I sit down and order a Bloody Mary. I figure it may settle my stomach a bit, but yikes, way too spicy. It tastes like I am sucking on a pepper shaker.
I request ESPN so I can catch Gameday, but they forget to put the sound on. Bummer. I leave half my pepper and vodka drink behind as I walk out the door. It's not worth the burning lips.
The last leg: After 21 hours of hangin' around Lawrence, Getz is a little, well, humgove. He attempts to alleviate his aisls with a Bloody Mary at the Jet Lag Lounge, 610 Florida St.
9:58 A.M. WATSON PARK,
SEVENTH AND KENTUCKY STREETS
My stomach is cramping up again. My now- 22-hour festival of food and drink is catching up with me.
I go to the park to get some air but it's not helping. My head is spinning and I feel like I'm going to faint. I sit on a bench and hold my head between my legs while taking deep breaths.
Finally my stomach can't take it anymore. I fall off the bench to my knees and throw up a rainbow of colors that have been collecting in my stomach for the last 24 hours. Red, yellow, green, purple. It's all there. I know it's time to quit.
The rest of Saturday is ruined for me. I can hardly eat or drink anything including bread and water. I lie on the couch all day clutching my stomach, feeling as though I could faint at any moment.
LOOKING BACK
All-nighters are nothing new to me, but the fact that I was out-and-about for an entire day and constantly eating, drinking and expending energy took its toll on me. I've definitely had better nights on the town, but it was an interesting experiment to see how long I could last on the Lawrence scene. Jp
