If Metromix had a mascot, it'd be Krisha Mendoza
Meet Krisha Mendoza, better known as "Puke and Rally" to her
friends.
Though I've never met Krisha before, the "Metromix devotee"
invited me to her birthday party on June 8, an event that promised a citywide
bar crawl to 25 venues in 16 hours. Here's a sample of her itinerary:
10:00-11:00- Stop by random liquor store (1) for Sparks for bus ride. Chiptole (2) Beverly Center.
11:00-11:20- The Wave (3) in the Beverly Center
11:20-11:30- walk over to Weho
11:40-12:00- The Abbey (4) 692 N Robertson Boulevard
12:00-12:15- Rage (5)
12:16-12:40- Fiesta Cantina (6) 8865 Santa Monica Blvd
12:43-12:45-#105 MTA Bus at San Vicente/Santa Monica to Holloway/Hancock
12:45-1:20- Red Rock (7) 8782 W Sunset Blvd
1:20-1:30- Walk up to Balboa
1:30-2:05- Balboa (8) 8440 Sunset Blvd. [Ed. note: I think she means Boa.]
2:10-2:40- Skybar (9) 8440 Sunset Blvd.
2:45-3:20- Saddle Ranch (10)
Talk about ambitious! I talked to Krisha the next day and, though she only made it to 23 bars, she did drink at every one of them—and she was able to recount what she drank (including where and when) with the same precision as that itinerary. Even more impressive: She didn't get sick until she got home. "There were some bets going on that I would puke after eight bars," she said. "I didn't puke until 6 a.m. the next morning and even then it wasn't enough to fill a pint, which is a surprise because I only had a Chiptole quesadilla, two pork sliders and fries, some chips, and a bite of a sandwich at Mel's in my system."
It looks like she also dove into some cotton candy at Saddle
Ranch…
Miss "Puke and Rally" did, however, let the alcohol get the best of her at Beauty Bar. "There was definitely a drunk dial with me screaming that he was dead to me," she says of calling her best friend. But the real travesty was losing her plastic pony, seen here tucked into her, ahem...
If you find her little toy, Krisha'd love to have her back.
