your writing thrills me. will you write for my magazine? i can just go through your old entries and edit some stuff together, you wouldn't even have to lift a finger. my 'zine is called the DownTown, it's for downtown johnson city, and it lists all the stuff that's goin on in the bars and venues and galleries and shit. your writing would fit right in, most of the people that read it are ragin alcoholics like you and me. let me know if you're down, bro.
haha, this timing is perfect. my band, Junk (think the red hot chili peppers meets the mars volta) is playing at halo on july 22nd which is next friday. at midnight, it will be july 23rd and officially my birthday. which means i'll be 24 and getting sloppy drunk. you should come into town, hang out in the bars on the strip, i'll show you around, we'll drink it up, you can check out my band, and write about the bars here. that would make a great piece: a professional drinker's look at our town
Hell, I don't know how exactly people came to look at me as a profession drinker. Hmmm.
Right. I suppose I could make it up that way Friday. Like I have anything better to do. My only concern is whether or not there's some empty floor space somewhere that I can curl up on for that drunken slumber. Preferably near this strip you speak of. It's one thing to get on the backroads and drive thirty miles from Knoxville to Dandridge while I'm seeing triple. It's another thing entirely to drive eighty miles on the interstate from Johnson City to Dandridge while I'm seeing triple.
And I hope you realize that I'm just about the worst person to be around when I'm drunk. I'll either be completely silent with a shiteating grin on my face or I'll be so incredibly obnoxious that you'll feel embarrassed for me. Seems that there's really not much middle ground for me. Just so you know what you're getting yourself into here.
can't fuckin wait to find out what i'm getting into, and i can certainly find a nice comfy place for you to sleep. if you do end up coming this way, you should call me and i'll meet up with you somewhere.

i know a million andrews, so when you call, be sure to say you're the drunk one. :)
Right. What time should I aim at being up that way Friday?
I don't know. Seems everyone I know around here either flatly refuses to leave Jefferson County for any reason or they live in Knoxville and don't make it outside of Knoxville all that often. So I don't know that I'll know anyone at this deal in Sevierville. Hell. I don't think I've ever even been to one of those chalet partiest out in Sevier County. Chances are that if you're coming from Johnson City on the interstate, you'll pass right through Dandridge.
dude, whenever you wanna show up, honestly. i'm not sure what time we're supposed to be playing, but if you wanted to meet up around 8:30-9:00 or so, we can get a head start on being trashed. actually, i'm supposed to be fairly sober for the show, we have a bad habit of getting drunk and then sucking, but i'll make an exception, it's my fucking birthday.
"Hot tub whoooooooo. Promiscuity" ....ocassionally
All right, it's on then. I'll give you a call at some point. Just don't ignore any calls you get from area code 617. Also, I don't know a damn thing about Johnson City. I'm going to be coming up interstate 81, but other than that, I have no clue where I'm going. What would be a good place to meet?
when you're coming up 81, take the exit for Johnson City... it's either interstate 26 or interstate 1-81, they changed it recently, and i believe it's 26. either way, it says exit JOHNSON CITY. once you get to this point, call me and i can tell you where i am and give you directions. if you don't get through to me (you will, but just in case) then when you get into J.C., you take the Market Street exit. merge right onto market (it is a one way), take a left onto buffalo at the second light, and make another left onto main (which is another one way, in the opposite direction). halo, the bar where we are playing, is on main street on the left. it has a blue sign. you may, depending on when you get into town, find street parking...not likely later in the evening. if you can't park on the street, turn right at the first light (south roan) make another right at the next light, onto state of franklin, and an immediate right into the parking lot there. once you have parked, you can walk through the breezeway back onto main street, and
( ... )
All right. I'll call you when I get to that exit. Either the biggest disappointment in your life or the biggest headache in your life will be there at about 8:30-9pm Friday. Do I need to bring alcohol, or are the beer stores and liquor stores open past whenever this show is over?
You know, when I was about fourteen years old, my brother always used to tell me "make sure you're the drunkest person there. That way no one can make you drive and you never end up babysitting people."
oh i forgot, i'm also turning around the next day and going to sevierville with my buddy travis to hang out with steve, my birthday brother. his bday is the day after mine, so we've celebrated with a 48 hour birthday bash for the past couple of years, which always includes loads of liquor, and this time, a hottub. he rented a cabin in s-ville, and is throwing a super bash, and you're more than welcome to come hang with us...unless you got that job at tomato head, of course. i wouldn't be suprised if you know some of the people there. anyway, simply another option.
