Last night we went bar hopping. The first was a place called Montien. I got to meet a guy who I was in some kind of massive IRC war 10 years ago that I barely remember. We patched things up by drinking a few shots together and I gave him a PLA button as a peace offering. I guess us PLA types harassed his channel, called #stuy95. Apparently this is chronicled in some old PLA issues. Next was Coyote Ugly. That’s a blur. It was too crowded but didn’t last very long. Then some other bar for the rest of the night until about 1am. All night people seemed to know me from Jammie’s journal, which was weird for me. At the last bar, a girl greeted me by saying, “You’re the one who gave me Corey Feldman’s cell phone number!” Met lots of people whose names I’ve heard referenced often over the past 7 months. Got home at 2:30am. This morning I walked around about 8 blocks, looking for the post office. Finally found it. That sure was exciting. Tonight we’re watching some 80’s Eddie Murphy standup thing with Rob and Mara. Guess I’m going to try and finish up my stuff here earlyish and go to the city to wander around for a few hours. Still need to find some kind of souvineer thing for Payton. We found Emily a kickass charm bracelet the other night at a giftshop. Later that day… I went to Manhattan and had lunch with Jammie at the Trailer Park Cafe, which murd0c recommended the last time I was in town. I had sloppy joes and tater tots. Took Jammie back to work, then went for long walks. Visited the World Trade Center site. Then walked to Battery Park, hoping to find something for Payton with the vendors. Failed to find anything worth getting. Then decided to walk back to Times Square instead of taking the Subway, with just 90 minutes to get there. I didn’t make it. A little over an hour later, I was only halfway there so I found a Subway and got to Jammie’s work just in time. We walked to a bar where her employees were all gathered. Stayed for about 30 minutes, then left. Got a Subway home and then napped for an hour. Rob showed up, then we went to Duane Reade to pick up Mara from the Subway. Got junk food, then went home to watch Eddie Murphy’s Delirius. Which was probably one of the best standup shows I’ve ever watched. Somehow I never managed to see it until now. Actually, I’ve never seen anything Eddie Murphy has done from the 80’s, aside from his SNL stuff which I have on VHS. After that we all drove back into Manhattan (minus Rob) to see Underworld with Anontio, Sergei and some girl whose name I forget. Made it to the theater just as it was starting - to find out that it was sold out. Everything was sold out, in fact. Who’d have thought that the movie theater in Times Square would be sold out on a Friday night?? So instead, we all went to Antonio’s apartment and ended up watching Team America. Left his apartment at 3:30am, got home around 4:30, crashed immediately.
