Who doesn't love themself a good Groupon? I sure do. A couple of months back a Groupon went around for half off a Houston Beerfest ticket and a free t-shirt. Beer and free t-shirts? My inner college student would never forgive me if I didn't take advantage. That coupled with the fact that said festival was the weekend Ryan & Co were taking Bourbon street by storm for his Bachelor party meant I really couldn't say no. Dena, Shawna, Julie, Jen & Rashell also decided to participate in this college throwback. Bonus points: the festival was on Rashell's birthday.
The festival was truly not ready for us. On all accounts. Sure they grossly underestimated the number of people that would be there and everyone waited in line a minimum of an hour and a half to get in. Sure they ran out of beer. Sure people were bartering cups later on in the evening because they ran out of those. Sure a middle-aged couple threatened to have the police arrest us for "cutting in line." (P.S. We did NOT). But what the festival was REALLY not ready for was the craaaaazy game of Truth or Dare that we were about to unleash on them. This iPhone app really pushed us to our limits with wacky truth questions like, "who is your best friend?" and "what is your favorite color?" Early on we realized we were going to need to think outside of the box here and improvise some of the dares a bit. The most entertaining evening I've had in a long time ensued.
After laughing for about 4 straight hours we capped the night off with a trip to Whataburger. How else would any good college evening end? Thank you to my hilarious ToD partners, to the Beerfest and to our good-natured lawn friends. My sincerest apologies to a very special parking garage in downtown Houston.

iPhone Ap Dare #1: Hold your breath. Rashell is wild.
iPhone Ap Dare #8: Make yourself look like an idiot and let Shawna photograph it.
I believe this is where improvisation begins. I doubt the app said to put on lipstick and kiss your neighbor's cheek.

What's a birthday without being dared to do a high pour? The gentleman in the hat behind her agrees.
Well received.
