As you all know, a bunch of us zoners went to the Sabres/Maple Leafs game and then met Thurm and RockStar at Pearl Street Grill. Well after a few drinks and chatting, Thurm took us to Chippewa Street to continue the night. We went to a few different bars and clubs and were having a good time. A few people harassed hammerbillsfan about his Toronto jersey that he was wearing, but he proudly kept it on and wouldn't start anything with anyone and was cool with everyone. Well, apparently Thurm left and it was just RockStar and his buddy, hammerbillsfan, Valerie, Dozer and I. We were all having a good time and getting pretty wasted, plus most of us were withing walking distance to our hotel. So we kept the night going on. Around 3am, it was decided that Valerie was pretty smashed and was going to crash soon if we didn't bring her back. So Dozer started walking her to the hotel. I told them to wait up while I get hammer, but he wasn't ready to go. He was chatting with someone in the bar. so I let him stay and told him to call if he needed me. But he was pretty wasted by then anyways and so was I. I then caught up with Dozer and helped him bring Valerie back the hotel. She was hardly able to stand up.We finally got her taken care of and then I went to my room and was ready to pass out. But hammer still wasn't there. It was around 3:30 and last call at the clubs. I called him to see where he was and he told me that he needed help. Some piece of ****, drunk Sabres fan punched him in the face and he's in front of Starbucks. I got ready and then rushed out of the hotel and went to the area as quick as I could. He wasn't there, so I call him and apparently someone picked him up off the ground and helped him get a cab. He was back at the hotel and I found him in the lobby. We got Dozer downstairs and got the guys at the lobby to call the EMTs. hbf had a big cut on his eyebrow and blood all over the place. It looked ugly. He also was missing his glasses. He looked like he just got done facing Chris Neil or some other tough guy. So, we waited until the EMTs got there and then some cops came and asked him some questions. Then they brought hbf in the ambulance and took him to the Buffalo General Hospital ER. I sat in the front passenger seat. We got there and they took him in and i waited in the waiting room for a half hour. I was still pretty drunk and tried to nap there. Then they called me in and has hammerbillsfan on a recliner while they cleaned him up and I sat in the other one. They asked him a bunch of questions and took time (about 2 1/2 to 3 hours) and then finally stitched him up and made sure he was okay. I passed out on the recliner while they worked on him. Finally, around 6:45am, he was released and Dozer came to pick us up. He dropped us off at the hotel and then we slept til about 1 in the afternoon. We went out to Duffs after we all woke up and then I went home. hbf is now without glasses, we have no idea where they are, and he also has 4 stitches in his eyebrow area. Luckily he has a pair of prescription sunglasses so he can drive home.
Here's a pic of his jersey....
and Valerie for all the hugs and love.
