A plate of chips, some cheese, and then some jalapenos on the side for anyone who doesn't care for the spicy flavor (or who can't handle it). Nathan had been putting a jalapeno on each chip he removed from the plate. Jocelyn noticed she was missing out on something that was food....and protested loudly! Nathan told her "no, these are spicy, hot". She says hot and blows on them. And that was that. OR SO WE THOUGHT. Nathan stopped paying as much attention (we were watching a live Ustream show) and he sat the little container with jalapenos in them down on the floor. Jocelyn realizing this was her perfect opportunity to grab a bite quickly snatched one up and popped it in her mouth. Nathan and I saw her doing it, but had no way to stop her in time. We knew she would freak out once that spicy flavor hit her tongue and throat. Here...

We had a short wait, and then we were allowed to enter the scene. What we found out was there was a bar fight. Something about two young guys a girl (I think they liked her), and another guy who didn't seem to be as happy about the attention being given to the girl. The guy said something, got jumped by the two guys, who then got jum...
