Feel 17 again (first night with the fire folks)

[blueflame11]

Last night I *finally* got in with the NY fire folks. They meet every Sunday at a secret location in Brooklyn. I’m talking : snaking through a hole in a fence, abandoned building, overgrown weeds, trespassing, and cheep beer (of course)... Urban usage: skateboard haven by day, fire valhalla by night. Everyone’s got one syllable nicknames like

nah, the cops were good. They could have been asses, but they were super cool, so I hear. Without them the bonding would have taken a lot longer...

A whole world I'd never even heard of. Sounds like an adventure, with many more to be had with these fiery folks. How did you hook up with them, anyway?

my friend from Birmingham, now living in Bklyn was my connection. There's at least one other B'hammer in the group, so when I told someone I was from AL, he said, "Oh, you're one of THOSE." Sho nuf.

Haha, that's pretty much what I say when I meet people from St. Louis. Such a weird world this city is - everyone's got connections somehow.
