dielloLast night (running through this morning) I had a nice little play date with Ben. While everyone else went to see Drums and Tuba, Ben and I (cashless) decided to walk down Monroe Ave.
On the way down Canterbury, we passed by a house with a for sale sign in front and attached to it was an envelopy thingy that said "take one". There was nothing inside, so I snuck onto their lawn, swiped a flower and put it inside.
When we got to Monroe, we stopped into Show World to buy fishnets (exactly the make I'd lost some time ago, except much cheaper) and talked to bary for a bit. He told us that he just found out this kid he always helped out just stole some 40 dollar handcuffs. After we left, Ben told me that if I found that guy and got the cuffs back that he'd give me a job for sure. I'd get discounts. We'd be 'buds', and so on.
We walked down to the Bug Jar and contemplated trying to sneak in, but I knew the bouncer was big and scary and big and big. No one was playing at that time so we had nothing to stop and listen to from outside, so we kept walking. I saw the guys from Fake Brains packing it up so I asked if we helped them out, they could get us in free. They hadn't such emaculate powers, alas. But we had a nice chat with Andrew, the lead singer, who, by chewing the fat with us, avoided all the work of packing.
After gaining some free stickers and exchanging emails with Andrew, we headed on. We ended up somewhere near 490 or so and hit a side street where we dropped dimes off an overpass. I spotted a sign just laying there on the way back to Monroe. Snow Route bla bla bla is what it said, I believe. We both kinda wanted it, but Ben wanted it more and I couldn't bring it home on my bike anyway, so I let him have it. So Ben carried a sign throughout the rest of the night.
We headed back the way we came (saw a bunny sticker on someones car near atomic eggplant) and stopped back at Bug Jar to hear what we thought was Drums and Tuba, but we later found out it was Space Head. Regardless, they were great as fuckin' hell. We sat on the stoop in front of the stage door and talked and whatnot... watched people.
When they finished, we nearly got hit by the stage door and then got up and looked around for Zach, Evan and Jenny. We were about to give up when suddenly I got hit in the ass by the hand of god... ok, it was the foot of zach. We sat outside the club and talked a bit. Jenny asked me about Bach and Avocados and I was completely stumped. Then I realized oh, she thought I said that. I really mentioned something about Beck and Java's.
Drums and Tuba began and everyone but Ben and myself went back inside. We decided we were tired and headed back to Morley's so we could grab our vehicles and go to our respective homes. We stopped at a Dunkin Donuts so he could pee and I waited at a table with the sign. Then he bought me and him each a boston creme donut and ate in. We saw a couple of cop cars outside and figured 'donut raid', but then we saw the cops aprehending this guy and his car. Next thing we knew, six cop cars were parked in the lot and the car was being searched. And our main concern was that we'd get caught with the sign. We stuck around for about 15 minutes and left when there were only two cars again. We figured we were in the clear with the sign as we booked across the street.
Back on Canterbury, we passed that house with the envelopy thingy again. "Take One" it said, and this time there was something in it. I ran up to it and grabbed the flower and put it behind Ben's ear. And he said the night has come full-circle.
We went to a porn store, met a band, stole a sign, heard some good live tunes, had a snack, and ran from the cops. We painted the town red with four bucks between us. I had a great time. We need to chill more often.
So a night of nothing turned out to be a night of interestingness. Because nothing is always something as long as it's with a friend. Awe. How's that for cheese?
