Did this one w/Vladypus (although he has Dérive'd before) - Here is a summary
Me and Vladypus went to Piratey Monkeys to hang out. We grabbed some rum/coke on the way and just sauntered to her place. she has to goto work so we wander - in our wanderings we stop at 7-11 and get two 24oz Coronas – we find a park and sit at a bench in front of two people playing tennis, they seem embarrased and want us to stop looking at them. A few feet to the left there is a father who has abandoned his child in the playground so he could teach some other kids how to pogo. This guy has his thing flying 2-3 feet in the air (I know it doesnt seem like much, but think about it), We continue to wander and go through some residential area, then into business street, I am paranoid about my public imbibement but Vladypus assures me that the legality of our situation is tip/top - we continue walking and get to a safeway - some lady is parked at almost a 90 degree angle from the parallel type curb, almost like she is trying to pull out of the spot, except the car is off and everyone is comfortably sitting there - Vladypus gets a huge kick out of how she parks – we hang there for a while and then go inside, get a 12 pack of PBR – back outside we wander further – We throw out the idea of getting Dollar noodles, but dont want to head there directly – we see a strange tree with a plaque and the plaque tells us something about somebody doing something in 1843 and some other dude was against it and then they ate together and traded mules or something. Soon after we find a 4 foot wide alley/walkway thing connecting two different streets - we go through it and stop to refill, the alley is mainly steps and steadily goes upward. At the end of the alley a cul-de-sac on the left and nonsense on the right, we go left, enjoy the high altitude view and then go right. (Right being more uphill)- After some walking, we somehow end up on the Clark Kerr extension of the Berkeley Campus – we get into this Spanish villa clearing w/a fountain and we hang out here for a good while – the whole campus seems abandoned – Vladypus had the idea to put some of our drinks (currently in a backpack) into the fountain for ancient chinese cooling secret - after some bladder induced defacement of public property, we try to get out from the northwest and southwest sides, but both are closed, we wander around some more, get indoors somehow, climb a number of steps (See MC Escher painting) and finally get out – walking down the street Vladypus finds some box thing w/wheels – he decides to take it home and plant in it, so we kick it around with us the rest of the day (until its stored at my apt) - Then we run into some dorms and Vladypus brings out the rumor that students apparently throw out absurd amounts of things during their final week stay - we meander through the cardboard/dumpster/hidden area of the dorms but find nothing. Actually, Vladypus finds a corkboard w/pins and a silk bag with rocks in it - he puts board into the wheel box thing - walking around we notice a renovated schoolbus w/people inside and windows completely tinted - I pull out a PBR and stick it in a random window, saying "Does anyone want this" - there is a long conversation inside consisting of "what is it?" "Is it open" "Nah, I dont want that shit" then a hand quickly grabs it and sucks it in like that green thing from Lord of the rings being offered said ring. We continue to walk but now on telegraph, passing Piratey Monkey's working establishment, we go in and have some fries - the Derive is over
