Grimbsy Day - Part I

The time has come for me to talk about... Wednesday, March 16th, 2005... Grimsby Day.

Bright and early I awoke, to meet Adam, Nate, and Erin downtown at 10 am. We were off to Adam's hometown of Grimsby, Ontario/Niagra Falls. So when I get there Erin takes off to buy film, and the rest of us stay and talk to Jenny at the desk at Pitman. We finally got our lazy asses into motion and went to meet Erin at the film store. Commence dialog:

Adam: "Where did he go again?"
Nate: "The one on Yonge, by Pizza Pizza."
Adam: "Are you sure?"
Nate: "Yeah man, that's what he said."
*off we go to Yonge...BUT ALAS! No Erin!!!!*
Adam: "I think he went to the one on Church."
Nate: "He said the one on Yonge...."
*Adam takes off at record breaking speeds to the Church street store. Nate and I follow at a slow stroll. We discover that no... Erin is NOT at the Church store, so Adam rockets back to Yonge, and Nate and I continue the stroll... but still NO ERIN. It's now 10:30 and the 10:45 train to Burlington, where Adam's car is waiting, seems like a once distant dream.

So we go back to rez, and see if Jenny knows where Erin has gone. Apparently according to Jenny, he had returned at one point and then left...so we have no idea where he is. This would be the part of a TV show where they say tune in next week to find out what happened to Erin! Did he leave campus for union? is he sitting on some street corner? is he having sexual relations with a drunk homeless man? Those were all very real possibilities, so we decide, we shall go to Union to catch the next train, hope he shows up, and if Jenny sees him she will let him know what is going down.

But all was righted when we finally saw him coming back to rez to look for us. Turns out that he did in fact have sexual relations with not only a homeless man, but also a dog, pigeon, and himself. But hey... that's just Erin, so we accepted it and carried on our day. We had a rather uneventful train ride. I'm sorry I just can't find anything about the Go Train exciting after taking it and other forms of public transit to school for a year. So we arrived safe and sound in Burlington… but the question remained… was Adam’s car there after a two night stay in the Go lot?

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK WHEN WE FIND OUT:
Do the Shady Characters Crew have a car to drive?
Do they make it to the Falls?
Will all four make it out of this day alive?
