Getting drunk as a skunk at my grandma's place in India. She'd get me 4 liters of beer per day. Metric measures. Body can do that shit at 24.

One of the most memorable days of my life. Me and my best friend bar hopping on a beautiful day and night in New Haven, CT. Sitting on outside deck bar at Hennessy’s watching OJ getting chased.

Having dinner with friends at The Stadium Club in old Busch Stadium. We never did go down to our seats. Watched the entire OJ chase on TV at our table over beers.

Baseball is in my memory too. Heard about it over the car radio with my dad driving home from a Cedar Rapids Kernels game. He rushed home to get in the house and turn on the TV for the chase.

Funnest summer of my life. Remember that night clearly, was 20, working a crappy 2nd shift factory summer job, got off work headed to a friends apartment hoping to catch the end of the bball game. Everything was all about OJ, just a casual mention that the Knicks won. After that mainly bs'd with friends until bar closed. Had a second gig as a DD for a 28ish coworker and her friends. She taught me a ton that summer

Was at some bar in Wrigleyville getting schnockered and everyone was glued to the tvs.
