1st annual Milwaukee one woman bar crawl

Lets set the scene. Its Friday 6:00 and I cannot find one person to go out with. NOT ONE. So naturally I head out to the bar alone. I head over to a dive by my house called JAMOS. This bar was incredible. Christmas lights? CHECK! Cash only? CHECK! Wood Panelling? CHECK! Picture of 45 story high Jesus knocking on the window of the UN building? CHECK! So I saddle up and the bartender, 45 yr old Patrick with no teeth and an earring, instantly buys me a shot of whiskey. This is a good sign. The night is young and I am already getting free drinks. So I inform Patty of my situation and we map out the worlds best one woman bar crawl. This is gonna be great. So Pat sends me on my way after a few more drinks. I head over to Pitch's. Pitch's is a bar that your grandparents hang out at. Not shitting you when I say I was the youngest person there by a solid 30 years. I decide to hit up the "chic" dining room and try the fish fry which also happens to be affiliated with some sort of church function. I am feeling pretty buzzed at this point and insist the waitress take a picture of me with my seafood platter. She is elated and frames the picture and puts it up on the wall! I am def making my mark on Milwaukee.

After pitches I head over to Circa. whats this? My hair dresser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEEEEEYYYYY. This is great my fabulous hairdresser is at the bar. We chat and kick back a few. Then the uber hot but sloppy drunk man at the end of the bar buys me a welcome beer. He is creepy but I will take it. I then see a young couple in love at the end of the bar playing jenga. I decide to crash date night. I walk on up and introduce myself. Her name is Jackie too! its fate. I convince then to join my bar crawl. They love it. Also I find out they are 20 and still in college. Score.

So we are walking down to the Hi Hat and what do we see but a huge group of people walking down the street. Now I know a pub crawl when I see one. I stop their leader and convince them to merge bar crawls. They are ALL about this! So now my pub crawl has turned into an intimate group of about 35. These ppl are hilarious and we are having a slamming good time. I bet you are asking yourself " but Jackie are there any hot guys in the bunch that have a hankering to go on a hot air balloon ride?" I am not gonna lie it was slim pick'ns but I have not lost hope. After a few more bar stops I see two lovely men standing alone at one of the bars. I quickly convince them to join are crawl and the quickly oblige. So Ed is the one I have my eye on . Both are shorter than I would normally like but they are lawyers. Therefore I let my height restriction slide just this once. Ed and I are getting along swimmingly. His friend Scott is really nice and we hit it off as friends. Their other friends Steve and Kenny decide to join us as well. Come to find out Steve and Kenny are on the drum line for the Packers and the Bucks! These guys are super fun and I am loving it. Ok back to Ed. As the night progresses and we get drunker we are obviously hitting it of. So we are chatting when all of a sudden he drops the bomb on me that he is mid-divorce! WHAT! Turns out his wife was cheating on him after eight years of marriage. This means he got married when he was 20. First mistake. Anyway, It kinda fizzled after that cause the guy looked like he might start crying. Poor guy I just wanted to give him a big hug. And I did. We ended the night at a bar called Wolskis where apparently if you close out the bar you get a bumper sticker. I didn't make it. All -in- all it was a great night.

So Scott, Ed's friend, and I went to see a movie Monday night. Nice guy not for me. Also a LOT shorter then I remember. wowsers.

The rest of the weekend was fabulous. A good friend of mine came up from Chicago and we had tons of fun girl time!

Sunday I went to my cousins soccer game and stared at hot men. I also took a shot of some dudes homemade tequila that was sitting in the crowd. Dear god it was awful. After the game I went with the team for a few brews. I might have a crush on Ryan one of my cousins teammates. Not sure yet. He was one of the soccer players at the Halloween party who still lives at home. We will see how it goes. There is a potential Saturday soccer game watching party that he invited me to.

Also have seen Hot trauma surgeon in the OR a lot lately. I need to find a way to weasel my way into his pants........oops I mean his life.

until next week!
