red bud?

drive back downtown. find a restaurant to relax in for a little bit - the riverwalk. the place is dead. sit at the bar and get a beer. the guy working looks like a 16yr old peter gallagher. those eyebrows! talk to him and his friend, also seated at the bar, who looks like the young spencer moody in my head. find out they're both fresh out of high school. just wee lads. ask them about the area some. mention i'm thinking of heading either to mt. rushmore (4 hours west) or down south to sioux city, or "sewer" city, as they call it - thanx to the town's noticeable odor. ask if they know of a decent place to get a beer or two with some kids my age. they recommend pompenox? head over there. looks like a trucker's bar. but every place here does, or is? go inside. sit at the bar. notice jagermeister bottles, posters, and banners everywhere. guess it's the drink of choice in all of the dakotas, not just fargo? get myself a jager drink. the two ladies sitting next to me are S-C-A-R-Y!! like 35 but trying to look 20. way too many cigarettes. way too many dye-jobs. talking all valley girl style (in south dakota?) about some guy who was an asshole, and a pending lawsuit and "like oh, my god!" one of them orders a drink - a bud light with... tomato juice?? what the fuck? ask the bartender what the hell that is? a red bud, i think is what he said. imagine it tastes like a 50-50 mix of bloody mary and piss.
