By the time you get to the monkeys you are plastered..

This is what one of my co-workers told me Friday about the Wild in the Zoo fundraiser event that is held every year at Oakland Zoo. One night to support the zoo local restaurants and bars set up booths all over the zoo for wine and beer tastings and yummy apetizers, but since it's lots of free booze naturally everyone ends up shitfaced. I'd totally forgotten about this event, but alas 4 or 5 years ago I had gone to it. My friend Carlos worked in public relations for the zoo and got a few of us in free. Rest assured we had lots to drink and nothing to eat. The best part of the night was watching this lady who was probably in her late 50s take a spill and knock over a camera display..the resulting chaos was priceless. Also in case you were wondering..I don't even remember making it as far as the monkeys.
