Thursday, June 30, 2005 Gothfight
In the olden days, I was able to leave the house in a reasonable amount of time, but since I've re-discovered personal grooming, I ruin everything. Last night I was tired and draggy, and I spent too long trying to decide which lip gloss goes best with a healing headwound, so Tracy's and my original plan to go to dinner, watch the clown movie, and go goth it up had to be amended to dinner and dancing alone.
Here are some highlights of the evening:
*It turns out that it takes two months of going out a few times a week in Baltimore to know every single person in town. Also, on the way to our target bar, I saw a girl I'd sold hair products to earlier in the day. Her hair looked great.
*We were the only ones dancing, and I think the DJ was being paid in beer. He kept apologizing to us personally for dead time between songs. My favorite was when he sprinted back to the booth after "Love will tear us apart" had ended. He probably wasn't familiar with the song, right, so he couldn't possibly know how long it was.
*There was a gothfight, with hitting and attempted kicking and tackling to the ground. People broke it up, and the bartender continued to serve the scrappers alcohol. One of them was the DJ.
*The bartender shut the club down at 12:30, because the gothfight flared up again. Because of the involvement of the DJ, there was dramatic silence for the fight, so that one could hear every word. Moments after the fighting ended, a woman walked in, completely unaware that she had missed everything and so puzzled as to why the lights were on and everyone was silently staring at her.
*Luckily, there is another fine bar next door.
*Unluckily, they do not sell cigarettes.
*When I walked out of the bar to buy cigarettes at the gas station up the street a guy followed me for half a block yelling, "Miss lady! Miss lady!" Finally, I admitted that I was a lady, and I turned around to see what he wanted. "I've got a brand new umbrella here!" he said.
I really love this town. posted by Frenz | 6/30/2005 04:55:00 PM
