WORLD DESTINATION:

Annual International Kite Festival

(Ahmedabad, India)

(January 14^th)

The launching of thousands of colorful kites. Flyers battle to cut the strings of their rivals and send them spinning to the ground.  The festival draws experts in kite-making and participants from all over the world. The sheer number of kites, the ability of the flyers to control them with only one string and the height and distance to which they ascend makes for a fantastic spectacle.

DRINKING GAME:

~ New Orleans Punk ~
Arrange playing cards in two circles, one inside the other, with a small pile of cards in the middle. 
The first player points to a card in the outer ring and the person to their left guesses black or red. 
If she/he guessed correctly the first player drinks, but if they are wrong then they drink. 
The player who drinks chugs their beer while the other player counts to the number on the card 
(at any rate they choose). Determine what Jacks, queens, kings and aces will be before the game.  
After the first ring,move into the second where times are doubled. 
If anyone is still standing, the third stack is triple count.

The Library Bar & Grill is one of the hottest spots in Tempe.  Come in this evening to watch the BCS Championship Game on one of their more than 40 televisions.  Try out their tasty menu and enjoy Happy Hour specials like $2 Miller Lites and $3 U-Call-Its.  And, once the sun goes down it's always a party at The Library!  I recommend going in and rockin' out with the Library staff every Thursday night while METALHEAD plays all the best 80's Glam Rock tunes!

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test:

The smoothness of the eye's tracking the penlight (or finger or pencil) is also a factor, as is the jerking when the eye is as far to the side as it can go.

WORLD DESTINATION:

Annual Bommel Festival

(Ronse, Belgium)

(January 6^th to January 8^th)

Party doesn't end after New Year in Belgium.  Characters dress in monumental costumes and knock each other senseless.  This bizarre spectacle is the high-point of the events on Crazy Monday, now rather confusingly held on the first Saturday.

DRINKING GAME:

~ Memory ~
Someone says a noun, next person says that noun and another noun, so on and so forth.  
The key is to form a story in your head.  
For instance: player 1 "monkey", player 2 "monkey / tree", player 3 "monkey / tree / banana", 
player 4 "monkey / tree / banana / toilet". it's fun to throw off the rhythm to mess people up. 
When someone can't remember the sequence, 
they must drink every time someone has a turn until it gets back to them.
