so this more of a cliffs notes type deal, and shortened b/c im tired.
DAY 2: BETHLEHEM, PA - LONG BRANCH, NJ
get up at nooon, get to long branch about 4pm. the place is 2 blocks from the beach, so we go hang out. despite freezing waters, a quarter of the group went swimming. we ate at quiznos, wandered around. we're supposed to be at brighton bar at 8. we've been there since 4. its 830 and the place is still closed. we're worried, especially after the incident in PA the night before. finally, a door opens, we go in, and are shocked. the outside looks like a dive bar, piece of trash, Scooner-ish...but inside.....immaculate. truly incredible, and the list of artists who had played there was unbelievable (wesley willis, the boss, bon jovi, monster magnet, captured by robots, etc) the stage was sweet, the sounds were sweet, and there was a crowd, finally! we had a blast and drove to brooklyn.
day 3 coming tomorrow. in other news:
CARS: really sucked. i had to see it again. ugh.
SUPERMAN RETURNS: despite what any moron thinks, the best thing this summer (next to SnakesOnAPlane). the movie is incredible, and i dont even like superman. plenty of action, PLENTY of heart, it's everything that movie should be. perfect superman movie. they did everything right. take that to the bank.
im reading this book about Morrissey, and wow, i now admire/worship/envy him even more. vince thinks he's a jerk. i think he's a genius. the man is a lot of things i myself would like to be. smart, witty, arrogant, self-everything, celibate, pop culture junkie,.....all purely admirable. and i'm only half way through.
