I think tonight holds the record as one of the most asstastic of the summer. I went to Filter and god knows why. In actuality, I hate the place -- when it's not Wednesday night 80s, that is. I mean, it's totally wack. I felt as if I had mistakenly wandered into a Girls Gone Wild Mardi Gras celebration or you know, Culture Club. These chicks were having a bachelorette thing and they were so shitfaced that all girl needed was a pole and she'd be making some bucks. And what kind of club doesn't have any guys that didn't already come with women? Blah. And I hate to say it, but it was the whitest room I've ever been in -- including wandering into random spaces at Wes and that Deftones show. There's a difference between you as a minority being somewhere and casually observing that you're it and feeling it with every step you take anywhere. I felt like an alien.
Adding onto my misery was the shitty ass weather. I'm so sick of rain. The death cough feels like it's getting worse because of it. Now you would think: "Hmm, you're complaining about being sick and the weather has been bad all day, so why'd you go out in the first place?" Shut up. Don't question me.
Anyhoo, I ran away as fast as I could and ended up here. I'm trying to feel it out as a new spot. I like it so far and think of it as easing into the rock scene without wading through the scum at Pianos (oops, did I say scum? I meant, poseurs. Sorry...). Kids are cute, verrry cute and hardly any trucker hats in sight. Music's got me interested. Fun place to roll with folks. And it was nice after the Buffies party I had escaped from to see that a mixed crowd isn't a fantasy everywhere. Last time I checked, NYC is a multicultural mosaic, n'est pas?
ETA: I made the new site but Blogger's being a real punk today and keeps giving me publishing errors. *grumble, grumble* Stupid publish error, sucking my invisible nut...
