a Somber day
Today was a very sad day. Today, September 30th, 2005, American Video announced it's closure and began the liquidation of it's videos. It's shelves of vidoes are now bundled into cardboard boxes, Piled up behind the desk. Our video home and beloved hangout is no more. The AV horror section ceases to be. As I closed the shop tonight, I remembered that night I broke into the store at 2 o'clock in the morning, in the rain, with Pete and Jill to get another movie. I remember mimicing the porno section perverts with Tom. I remember "Fuck my Nasty Black Ass" and "Furry Squirters", unfortunately.I remember the silly string fight with Jacquie and Erin on April Fool's day, after I made Jacquie pour milk into her purse. I remembered the countless hours of hanging out with the counter pizza parties, watching Anchorman or whatever movie we wanted. I remember beating Erin with a broom, while customers walked by horrified. I feel defeated and unemployed now. Im not even that upset about the unemployment. What really upsets me, is the fact that our American Video won't be there next month...
