so mr. livejournal..i was at the diversey rock and bowl tonite, watching my gabriel bowl like i do every tuesday nite. this week was the last week of the league, aces and eights were bowling famlee jeewels for the championship. they bowled their first game, gabriels team loses by seven pins. it was a fucking close game.
so in between games, people go off to get more beer or whatever, and im sitting next to gabriel, and we hear this huge BOOM, and the whole place shakes, and some ceiling tiles fall, and the ceiling sags a bit, right above where we are sitting. now seeing that ive recently watched donny darko, i freeeak out. i run over towards the bar, trying to find somewhere safe to stand. everyone stops bowling, save the few crazy people who for some reason didnt see what happened.
sam, being that he had worked at the bowling alley, and another dude who worked there go up to the roof to investigate. people go out side to check it out. iii hyperventalate. soon enough, sam and the other dude come back and say, 'yeah, one of the giant wooden beams that hold the roof up fucking fell, and its definately not safe to be in there right now.' the awesome dude who runs the place comes on the loud speaker and says, 'everyone get the hell outta here, now.'
thats all i needed to hear i must say, and me and gabriel get the fuck out of there.
all sorts of fire engines and ambulances and cops show up. it was nuts. we stuck around to see what happened for a bit, til the firemen told us to get out of there incase the building collapses.
i coulda fucking died tonite, but i didnt. besides, my superman said he wouldnt let anything bad happen to me.
