I don’t really have an in into the night until I randomly go upstairs at 10:00ish. Allyse and Brendan are there. I go back to the room to pre-game and Liz walks in and asks Dillon if he’s going to Cross Club. It’s awkward that I’m completely ignored since I’m in the room.

Eventually, I walk outside for a cigarette and a public urination until people come out. Dillon and Alex take the lead and take the metro before us. It’s only Brendan, Allyse, Jen, Charlotte, and I. I guess Jarra not coming out gets rid of some tension.

The girls are pissed that Dillon and Alex go ahead of us and take the metro before us. The two assume that they were taking the last metro and that we’d just be screwed or something. We eventually get there because they didn’t take the last metro. When we get off the metro, Allyse remembers that she owes me $10 for the cab and pays me. It turns out there is a $4.50 cover charge for certain areas at Cross Club, so we avoid those areas. The place is a fuckin’ labyrinth. We get drinks at the bar. I get a shot and a beer. Brendan keeps telling me to work at this random girl that literally sitting right next to us. She offers me a piece of gum, but that’s about it. She’s quiet and she’s probably Czech. For some reason, she’s wearing a visor and is holding a teddy bear…

I see this girl that standing by herself. People are sitting down and talking and stuff, and I randomly walk away to speak to this girl. Her name is Jade and she has a sandwich on her for some reason, but she doesn’t speak English. It’s the first random try to talk to a girl here in Prague. The conversation ends quickly and I walk back to the table with no game from the hunt. People ask me about it, but I tell them that she didn’t speak English.

Suddenly, the night becomes “Darwin, you have to hook up or have sex with a girl tonight.” Uh, yeah, just awkward. We see a couple of girls and Brendan becomes my wingman as we walk towards them standing near the bar. I speak to the two girls and they’re American. The shorter blonde one is from Kansas City and the taller brunette one goes to New Paltz, she’s like a towering 5’8 compared to me. I chat with mostly with Joanna, the brunette. Brendan keeps whispering shit to me and tells me to buy her a beer and I do. It’s only $1, so what the fuck. It’s weird that he’s floating around and keeps tapping me to ask whatever random questions.

I keep finding out random shit about her like her major, about her tattoo, and what the shit. I then buy her and her friend another round of beers. They decide to go to the dance area, which needs pay. The problem is that I have to go through the labyrinth and find the place where you get a stamp and get to go to wherever. I run around and pay for it because Brendan insists that I follow the bitches. I do it and eventually find them.

When I find them and tell them that I had to get a stamp. They’re speaking to this random Czech guy that’s a tattoo artist and her friend wants a tattoo. It’s not good that I don’t remember her name. I had it for a while since I’ve been trying hard to remember names, but I forgot. I dance around a bit with her until the two girls head to the bathroom. I wait for almost ten minutes until I find the group again. This time, Dillon is with them, but Alex is nowhere to be found. Brendan tells me to look for them again and I do so.

I go through the maze and find the area again and see them. I tell Joanna that I’m about to leave and ask for her number. She tells me that her number is messed up, so I give her mine. She actually takes it and calls me, so I have her number. I tell her that I’ll call her sometime. It’s like 3:00 now.

I return back to the table with the group and Brendan starts telling me to scream out random comments. For some reason, people find the comments hilarious. I laugh too because it’s so random. Brendan keeps it up and keeps getting me shouting random things like, “TITS!”

We eventually leave and Jake is with us. He lives in another community, but he’s still coming back to our dorm and I tell him that he can sleep in Gianfranco’s bed since he’s gone for the weekend.

The tram eventually comes and it’s a quite a long ride. We eventually get off at an area where it still takes at least 20 minutes to walk back. On the way, Brendan gets a sausage and bun for himself, Allyse, and me. It is literally ten times better than a New York hot dog. After I’m done with 2/3s of it, I see Charlotte waiting for us ahead holding her arms by her waist like Superman. It looks ridiculous so I replicate her. During that, I drop my sausage and I’m left with only the bun. I’m such a fuckin’ idiot and get some deserving ridicule.

The walking separates people and Brendan, Jen, and I become a group. Brendan keeps talking about the lessons that I learned tonight about the girls. I try to play it off because it’s just random conversation and stuff, but he makes it a big deal. I shrug and awkwardly try shrug off his insistence, but he keeps asking.

Eventually, we get back and I go my room. Brendan and Dillon randomly take the elevator downstairs. Allyse comes in with Jake asks where they are. She explains the situation that she wants to hook up with Jake (which is really awkward since he’s right there), Brendan wants to hook up with Jen, and Dillon wants to hook up with Charlotte. I guess it’s a bit weird that I’m the odd man out.

Eventually, everyone comes in the room and chills. Charlotte says that she’s coming to make some tea and if people want some. Jake asks for some green tea. Charlotte says that it’s black, but that she might able to steal from green.

Allyse heavily reprimands her for it because of all the stealing that’s been going on. I also accept some black tea. When Dillon and Charlotte come back with tea, Allyse, Jake, Brendan, and Jen are off to their shit… You know how it’s done.

Brendan eventually comes back and goes to sleep on Gianfranco’s bed. It’s like 6:00 at this point and Dillon hasn’t returned to the room by the time I sleep.
