I live in a smallish town (85,000) with a very large university population (45,000). we have a section called North Gate along the university's northern edge, all the bars are located there. 10 of them in a one block area. the kids get to drinking and then into trouble, DWI/DUI, fights, public intoxication and minor in possesion. some of them get so drunk they can't even stand up and/or they pass out on the sidewalk. Sad, very sad. Leslie, I had to be 35 before I finally got it.

There was something sad about the scene. I think it's cool that Luke is as young as he is and gets it. It took me a lot longer. i agree Bab. There was something sad about the scene.

Why? ummmm it's Tuesday" "alright, party lets get drunk becuase it's Tuesday" or "I stubbed my toe" or "it is dark at night" many college students and college age students don't need a reason to get drunk but having one "legitimizes" it. I can comment on this because in another life (military one) I was one of the party makers. I go over it. :) you done good Luke, not only being a nice guy and giving rides to those who don't have one but also not falling into the party life. peace, bob Holloween was the excuse, it could have been “lets have a party and get drunk.

Gee, the things you all endure to supply us with this wonderful Blog. :-) Well, that sure was an adventure Luke, albeit, not a good one lol.

Osanna, who commented above and was one of our music students awhile back (and dedicated Mountain Music supporter!), just posted <a href="http://osannalynn.blogspot.com/2008/11/halloween-bliss-by-bliss.html" rel="nofollow">her Halloween night story</a> on her blog; obviously she's picking up on my post here (and mocking it a little, perhaps? :-P) and I love it.
