I drove over to Spokane for the weekend to attend a wedding and catch up with a bunch of guys from college. I ended up staying at one of their places on Friday night, which is at Medical Lake (15min from Spokane).
Saturday morning we all get up at about 10... everyone is EXTREMELY hung over and we decide to get bloody mary's ASAP. I smoke the last couple bowls of my pot and everyone jumps in my car and we head out [disclaimer: if you want to discuss whether that sounds safe or not please do it somewhere else]. Now, I've never been to medical lake, and I'm really stoned, so I'm sorta just cruising aimlessly.
We notice several large banners hanging all over the place, apparently due to that day being Founders Day (huge parade, etc). Now the guys in back aren't paying too much attention, so their direction abilities are half-assed at best. Although I'm really confused at this point, I see the bar a few blocks away and decide to take a fairly direct route which involves going around a lone barricade in the middle of an intersection.
After dodging a few children who are playing in the road (I'm thinking WTF?), I immediately realize what I have done....
I look out my window and see nothing but HUNDREDS of fucking people. Now, this parade hasn't begun yet, so it's just my car, cruising, with all these people staring. Some are cheering and think that the parade is beginning, others are baffled, and I see a few get the "Oh God, this guy accidentally got in didn't he" look.
Some people can really handle confrontation when high, others can't. Put simply, I was losing my fucking marbles. Picture the guy in the back of the cop car from Super Troopers, yeah.
I honestly don't know how long this went on for, but it was a good ten or fifteen blocks. My friends had their upper torso's out the moon roof by the end of the thing, waving their stupid faces off, but it was honestly the most random thing ever. I drove directly by several cops who did nothing, thank God, and eventually someone let us out by moving some barricades at the end of the parade.
Quite a morning.
CLIFFS:
-Wake up hungover on sat with friends and decide to go to bar
-Smoke some pot
-Difficulty finding bar
-Find self in center of a parade with hundreds of onlookers
-Thought I was a goner
