New York, New York
So i just got in from my trip to NYC with Geoff and Jon to see Gabe. The Subway system there is hella fucked up and we ended up missing the chinabus home and we had to walk a whole shitload. That kinda sucked,.
What does a "bender" consist of, and did i just go on one? I spent the whole weekend in an intoxicated stupor and ate nothing but pizza and donuts, which was fun. We got kicked out of about every bar we went into. Don't believe the hype about no bars in new york card. Ive heard that shit so many times and we got carded and kicked out everyone we went to but 1. But we are also all guys, so that didnt help. On friday night, geoff and I took a small amount of hallucinagens before proceeding to a wharehouse party in brooklyn where we waited in line for almost an hour until it was broken up by the police before we even got inside.
At 3:42 AM on March 6, 2004 i found myself in the Upper West Side sharing a cab ride home with two girls i had never met before and will probably never see again.
NYC was hella expensive and not nearly as cool as the idealized view of the city i held up until this weekend. I was looking for this breeding ground of culture, a hotbed for independent youths full of coffee shops and record stores. All i found was a bunch of overdressed assholes and overpriced hotdogs.
Oh yeah, i was forced to use the doorless stall of a McDonalds after i couldnt hold it anymore. After watching someone piss on the seat, i was forced to hold a conversation with a middle aged man in that bathroom as he went over the akwardness of the situation, how people need privacy when making bowel movements and it must be really wierd for me. Yet he wouldn't stop talking about it.
Except for all the walking and waiting, i had a really good time this weekend. It was good to get out of the city and meet new people, even if it was all just an excuse to get crunked. I still have 7 days left of break and i plan on going to DC with jesse to meet up with Megaman Phil and emily ruane, respectively.
