So mr. eagles and I went out for NYE. My MIL had the kids overnight, and we had a hotel room in the city and dinner reservations.
mr. eagles runs a popular local attraction that hosted a big NYE party. We didn't really have any set plans for after dinner and I knew he kind of wanted to check in on the party, so we decided to take a cab over.
The party was great, security said there were a few minor incidences ( a girl passed out at 10pm, a guest complaining about the liquor selection etc) but all in all it was going really well.
At the end of the night, mr. eagles and his staff were making sure everyone had a way home and they had arranged for a shuttle to get people to various locations (this is how we were getting back to our hotel). A young girl who was visiting from Australia said she was ditched by the guy she was staying with and had no idea how to get back. This dope flew here for NY's for this guy and he left the party with another girl! All her stuff was in his apartment - she had his address (in a not so great area of the city) and phone number written on a piece of paper. She said she tried calling him and couldn't get him
So we bring her with us on the shuttle - she is very upset and I am just making small talk, trying to prevent her from completely losing it. Meanwhile, she is dumber than a bag of rocks - when we get to the hotel she actually thought it was our house. We bring her into our hotel lobby (I am sure the hotel staff thought we were swingers or something - this is like 3am). I go up to the room and get changed and get mr. eagles' keys (he had been in such work mode he was sober) and we drive her to the address.
She knocks on the door and no one is home - she is saying she will just sit on the step until he gets back and mr. eagles and I are both like, NO WAY! So I call the guy from my cell. He actually answers but is in a completely different area with some girl. He says he will call someone else who lives in the building to open the door. At this point, I am like w t f are we going to do with this girl? I am thinking we are going to have to pay for a hotel room for her. She calls the guy back and he says someone is going to open the door for her. Two random dudes come around the corner and go to the door so she gets in the place. Part of me is still thinking this is so shady and I was worried about her, but mr. eagles was like "Um, I think we went way above and beyond here"
We didn't get back until 4am. I was drunk, exhausted and was going to the Eagles game the next day. It was brutal.

insane...lol.
btw...karmic debt for the next DECADE ;p
OMG that is so nice of you guys.
What a jerkoff!
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
aww glad you guys helped her.
this whole thing seemed totally odd though, but i know if i didn't do anything i'd probably would have felt bad you guys did the best you could. i hope when the guy picked up your response was yo buddy wtf.
TJW arrived 7/28/11
lachute, it was incredibly odd, and though we felt so bad for her, we kind of had our guard up too. If it was someone we knew mr. eagles probably would have dropped me off and let me go to bed and taken her by himself. But with a totally random stranger, there was no way he would be anywhere alone with her and we would never let her in our room
He sat with her in the lobby, in full view of the front desk, while I ran up and got changed and got the keys
As we were sitting outside the house and the two dudes came around the corner, I had my phone at the ready - thinking "what if they tried to rob us?" mr. eagles must have been thinking the same thing, because he never turned the car off and had his hand on the gear. You just never know
I am dying to know what happened the next day...
