(Ottumwa, IA)
Scooter’s 311th bar, first visited in 2007.
We got our beers ($1 each for 10oz Bud Light draws) and I began looking through my notebook to see how we had done. I did a double-take and rechecked my figures. I was stunned to discover that we had just ordered our 30th drink at our 30th bar of the day, shattering our previous record by 7 bars.
We high-fived and clinked our glasses, sending a splash of beer onto the bar counter. A guy standing at the end of the bar asked what we were celebrating.
“We’ve been to 30 bars!” we said.
“Really? This is your 30th ever?” the guy asked.
“No,” we replied, “our 30th today!”
“Oh my god!” interjected the bartender. “PLEASE tell me you are not driving!”
“Oh no,” we reassured her, “we’re on foot.”
“Well, congratulations, then, and be careful,” she told us as she wiped up our minor spill.
After we finished our drinks and left the bar, we were met in the parking lot by a group of patrons, a man and two women who had heard us talking about our accomplishment. They asked us where all we had been and shared with us a wealth of information about some of the bars we had been to earlier in the day.
