taerowynWent out with some friends tonight...ended up at Elliot's. Conveniently "forgot" what Old Town is like on Thursday nights. That or had just blocked it out of my memories. I remember in high school when going to the Thursday night concerts was THE thing to do. Now I just hate the crowds and lack of parking and can't remember why I would go through such a hassle to hear what was normally a fairly crappy band. Walking around tonight made me feel ooooolllllddd! Of course, the fact that my friends and I usually end our nights by midnight substantiates that feeling. What happened to crawling in at dawn?!
Another part of Old Town is visiting my brother, good ol' Schwa, at work. I visit for several reasons. The biggest is that I never see him unless I drop by Paris so I do so whenever I am downtown and know he is working, even if it is for only a few minutes. I also like to visit because it's fun to see the looks I and my friends often receive from some of the clientele. Most people are just like anywhere else, but every once in awhile I catch a look of "You are so not angst-ridden enough to be in here." Ah well, how little they know how often we were in the Paris of old. True, not as often as some, but still. I get the sneaking suspicion I may get some flack for this entry, but hey, I call 'em as I see 'em.
