Crazy Wednesday in NYC
ok, listen to what happened last night...i left my last class a little early so i could catch a 7:15 train, i was walking awfully fast and when i got to the train station the train pulled up but i was on the wrong side of the tracks, so without thinking twice and run really fast to the underpass, i went down stairs ran across underground the platform and came up the other side to get to the train doors right as they close. I was so pissed, i banged on the door for them to let me in but it just rode away without me. Now its 7:16 and the next rain doesn't get here until 8:09. I was so pissed, so i grabbed a seat and waited. I got on the 8:09 train to Brooklyn and tghen I have to switch trains at the Jamaica station to get on the manhattan-bound Penn Station train. When i get on my 2nd train there are 3 guys sitting there with band instruments just being loud and talking. I sat a few rows behind them for no particular reason, only one of them was cute. When the train stopped at penn station i took off my haedphones and heard this one of these guys totally make fun of the other guys and it was funny and i laughed. The black one of the bunch looked at me and said hey what are you doing tonight? i said i don't know. he said you should come see me and my band play. i said i don't know. he said its at the Continental, have you ever been there? i said i dont think so. he asked if i knew where it was i said no he asked if i lived in the city i said yes he asked me why i didnt know about this place if it was in the city and i lived here. i said i have only been here 3 weeks, he asked where i moved from and i told him LA. From then on, all three band members called me "L.A.". we all get off the train together and they invite me to have a drink with them at a bar in penn Station. I never turn down a free drink. so they bought me my favorite, a Long Island Iced Tea. i sat in this pub called charlie o's with them for a while just chatting it up. I finally asked their names, Phil is the black guy, Jon is the cute one, and Billy is the skinny one with tattos. Phil convinced me to go with his band to this show. I called up my friend i met that is from alabama, her name is audrey. Phil had us all hop in a cab to go to the bar, which was on 3rd ave and astor place, which coincidently is on the same block where i work, i could see my ice cream shop from the street. He also paid for audreys cab when she got there to meet us. It was totally 21 and over and we just got to go in cause we were with the band. Me and Audrey were referred to and introduced as "la" and "alabama", it was funny. I got smoked pout by this guy seth in the band room. i got three more li iced teas bought for me. When Phil was up there singing he threw me his wallt told me to hold on to it and on stage said "hey LA, go buy me a drink honey. so i did and went up ans gave it to him wwhen he was on stage. it was so cool. I met a whole bunch of people. This cute gay guy that goes to NYU his name was Andre. This guy Craig, who plays texas holdem poker so i'm going to try and set up a game. and other people i cant remember. Jon was totally hitting on me and i was responding, he gave me his number and i gave him mine, so we'll see hwat happens...he is the drummer, he's cute. Anyway, they were really nice guys, gave me and audrey money to take a cab home, and we called it a night. we're going to hang out soon, i'll probably drag audrey to another one of their shows. they are not bad, pretty good actually. it was a wonderful night, and think it never would have happenbed if i made that first train...its funny how things work out
