No funny incidents....I'm just always the sober driver for this event but this year I get to go and enjoy the beer. woooohoooo....so I wanna win. Comment From: hanajayne73

Hmmm...well one night me and my girlfriends were all drunk and we decided it would be a good idea to sing karaoke: Rod Stewart(If ya want my body). We were having a blast and had the whole bar cheering and dancing because we are big goof balls. After we took our bows, we did a big group hug to congratulate ourselves and three out of five of ended up falling on the ground in the bar, uninjured--laughing hysterically. We didn't spill the beer and someone peed their pants...hahahahaha! Good times!!! Comment From: meshellb

Hmmm only picking ONE drunken crazy story!!! well there are tons, but I can remeber one year me and 3 of my girls went to Beer Fest and of course got a little tipsy and as we were leaving trying to find our DD who was picking us up MY FLIP FLIPS broke and flew off my feet and landed on the hood of the Taxi passing by..needless to say we thought it was hilarious BUT I was missing a shoe the rest of the day Comment From: CRIMSONROSE

lets just say I am not the best at walking in tall stilletos.. after a night of drinking at rileys I was walking out and broke a heel :( the next thing i know i am surrounded by cops asking questions thanks to my friend who came and saved me by telling them he was my dd and taking me home :) Comment From: awcali24

Well... a few years ago when I was still in college a few frieds and I wanted to go out and have a few drinks after class, this being a thursday we tried not to get to intoxicated (that didnt happen) the next day I was completly hung over I rolled out of bed and threw on the same jeans as the day before. That morning with the worst head ache imaginable I stood up in front of my DRAMA class on stage and gave a little speach, after just a few minutes I had the entire class laughing so hard, but I didnt know what was so funny untill I finished and went back to my seat... well sitting on stage in all of their glory was a BRIGHT ORANGE GARFIELD THONG! yes in the spot light, I had forgotten that they were in the jeans that I was wering the crazy night before ...not the best day ever!!!

Remember Goose Loonies? Well one Friday night back in ’01 we (the girls from Stier’s) went out to spend all our $2 bills he gave us for bonus that year on - you guessed it: BOOZE. I was like soooo underage. Many many rounds and $228 later, Crazy and I were in the bathroom with our waters puking our guts out, forever clogging up the entire bathroom. The men’s room actually had a line! LOL We paid our bill with all two dollar bills and were “escorted out.” My DD was the cabbie and I had no mo money so you know… HAHA just kidding! When I got home, I broke into my stashOcash and gave him ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS… and then asked for my change! Yeah that’s right. So WE had to work the next day, but Crazy never called or showed and got fired. I worked by myself totally hungover. I never saw her again. Pretty funny. Good times. And I will not drink Alabama anything ever again… XOXO Comment From: edflick

I loved the beer fest a couple years ago. There were so many good beer samples to choose from. But then it all caught up, and I definitely needed a ride home from somebody else. At least if you pick me this year, I will be doing a community project in the morning at Stiern Park; so I will not be drinking in the morning too and not have as many samples to get so plastered!

One night a couple of us went to Chuy's on Rosedale for drinks. This guy none of us knew offered to have a beer drinking contest... a few pitchers, a couple shots, and a scooby snack later i puked all over the parking lot... Comment From: molassa

When I was 19 I went to a bar/restaurant that is now FISHLIPS with a group of friends and someone sitting at the table with me decided to see if my pepper spray key chain really worked. Soon everyone in the bar was rubbing their eyes and heading for the restrooms to try and get some water on their eyes, including me. Police came in to the restroom and questioned everyone including me and I explained what happened. The cops weren't amused and gave us a stern talking to and I never carried pepper spray again for a long time. My husband and I would Love to go to the beer fest for the simple fact we have 3 kids and don't do much without the kids. It would be nice... Comment From: lilnemo

Okay a few years ago , I worked for one of the sponsors of Brews in The Village. So my boss gave me some free VIP passes, Well this gave us a pass with no punch card, we drank as much as wee wanted. Well off in the back, was a little fenced area, with a porta potty, a table and a couple of chairs and an un manned keg of Lengthwise. This was serve yourself VIP area, so I did, I drank and drank and drank a lot of good lengthwise ale that night. What a great time, I think, lol Comment From: zxandu

I have a very funny story, Spring Break had just started and I was out with my classmate and homie, Oscar. He and I started the night out drinking over at his crib. We started out the night by drinking a Hinney mini-keg and made our way down to Amstoy's to kick off the end of the quarter. There the fine bartender at Amstoy’s comped us something called a Pineapple Hand Grenade. I had never had one before, but it knocked the ever-loving hell out of me. It was great, smooth and packed a wallop. Oscar and I headed back to his house and cracked into the rest of the Heineken keg. After knocking back two or three more beers, we decided to head downtown and make our way down in a pub-crawl fashion. After having a few beers at Fishlips, we made our way into the Syndicate Lounge. After a few Rum N Cokes, shots, chasers and beers, we found ourselves at Riley’s on a Friday night. The place is packed from wall to wall; I am quite passed my consumption level, but Oscar wouldn’t let me quit. He kept pumping me full of beer, pitcher after pitcher of Amberbock Finally, when everything was done; I tried to find a nice quite place to pass out. The quietest place I was able to find was the bar top at Riley’s far back near the deejay booth. I laid my head out there trying to pass out, sleep it off, whatever; with my head firmly planted on the bar in Riley’s. While my head was planted there, I had bartenders telling me I had to go home; Oscar kept asking me if I was alive. Passer-byers asking Oscar if his drunk friend was going to make it home. When I woke up, I had a headache, a bruised ego, a small lump on the back of my head and a pissed off wife waiting to put her foot up my ass when I got home. Was the night of drinking worth it, I can’t say, but damn it’s fun to cut loose every once in a while. Comment From: zxandu

did my post make it in? Comment From: Kindra79

My best friend and I went to Riley's one night, several drinks later we noticed a woman on the dance floor that looked suspiciously like a man. Some guy was drunkenly flirting with us and we had the bright idea of making a deal with him ... if he would go dance with the wo/man and gently grab the crotch area to verify the sex we would kiss each other in front of him. Guess what? He actually did it! He sauntered up to the masculine lady, started bumping nasties then went for the gentle stroke between the thighs, immediately by the look on his shocked face we knew that it was indeed a man. Have to give him credit for not just running away, but instead he danced a little longer with the other man then politely excused himself to come back and make us fulfill our end of the bargain. Eek! Comment From: niki2280

Seems like all my funny moments involve my friends falling down. LOL! Let's see... my friend being pushed (not sure who pushed her. ha ha ha) while sitting in her high-top chair. Or maybe when she fell at Riley's. =) Always fun times! Comment From: pigmetalegg

WELL, ONE TIME DOWNTOWN I ALMOST KNOCKED DOWN A "HOMELESS" TWEAKER WHEN I WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER W/ MY CUTE DATE(WHO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO HOOK UP WITH FOR MONTHS) IT WAS SO HUMILIATING BECAUSE THAT TWEAKER STARTED GOING BERZERK ON ME!! GOD I WISHED HE WOULD HAVE DISAPPEARED! WE GOT KINDA SCARED SO WE JUST LEFT IN A HURRY AND OF COURSE EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING AND STARING AT US!!! Comment From: pinkpixielove

Nothing happend to me but my fiancee fell asleep in the bar and wouldn't wake up. So his friend's had to carry him into the car and he's 6ft 2 and 210 pounds...hehe Comment From: crazyshorty98

Comment From: RyanJ1978

The funniest thing that happened to me at a local bar or club was seeing Kyle Gass perform with his band Trainwreck at Fishlips. You could barely tell it was him because he had on some ridiculous wig that was part Elvis and part Joe Dirt. That and the fact that he just stood there, played his acoustic guitar, and sweated all over the place. I guess if you're half of Tenacious D you can just show up and people will love it. Good times, noodle salad. Cheers, Ry Comment From: Chango

A little while ago when I was a bouncer at Goose Loonies(remember that place?) a young bride-to-be decided to stand on the bar and hang her bra from the row of team banners. Unfortunately, I had to ask her to step down. Her girlfriends escorted her outside to get some air where they sat her in the back of the limo. I stayed up front posted up at the door and received a bonus: with the windows down, she dropped both straps on her dress like a Deja-Vu pro, and proceeded to fumble for 5-10 minutes trying to get her bra back on! I am sure she lived happily ever after, but that was a Hell of night to be a bouncer in downtown Bako! Comment From: niquem

After leaving work for the day a friend called to go out that night. So I went straight to the bar. I had forgot to use the lint roller to get all the work day fuzzies off my shirt. While dancing at the bar they turned on the black light and my black shirt was glowing. Comment From: NativeRocker86

Ok this was doosie!!!!! This was when I turned 21 last year, it was after a good family nite, and all my cousins were in town.......(My birthday was the week before so this nite was extra special)...So everything was great we went to our first bar McMurphy's....Had a few there then went to our offical Eastside spot known as the Dier (Grenedier). And the only thing I remember was that, people kept buying pitchers of beer, me and another person were getting free drinks, then I remember being soooooo drunk I kept saying "I love you" to everyone. And didn't go home till 5am the next day......That was my first and most exciting time at a bar!!! (The next day I had my first hang-over, which was not good).....Now I've had several tall tales, this was the first of many....... Comment From: FRTR

one time me and my friend were at the alley cat and they thought he was the singer of the plain white ts and we got tons of free drinks all night, he ended up going home with this girl because she thought he was the singer. Comment From: FRTR

i had a hard time leaving the fest one year ... i couldn't fubd my car and then i got lost lOOking for it, until finally i remembered i didn't drive there and came with others. duh... Comment From: ThePier

I can't think of anything funny at the moment, but I do have a cool story. We went to Fishlips because The Expendables were in town. We ran into a friend from the Phoenix area there!!! He used to be in a band we knew, but that band broke up. After our initial surprise and greetings, he said he hoped he would see us there that night......and that he is now a member of the band that was touring with The Expendables....Authority Zero! What an awesome night that was!
