Saturday Night's All Right All Right All Right Woooo

Who was it?

It was Punk Boy, who had never been to Federal before. Sitting there, saying hi to us and laughing. I grab his hand, squeeze it, and say - weird. He laughs. We keep moving on, and walk into the bar.

Once inside and behind the door, all three of us face each other, and no one says a thing for about 5 seconds.

Then N says, Wow. You had just finished that sentence when he said hi to us.

T says, yeah. I know. The universe is fucking with us. Fucking with you (turning to me) specifically.

Then they both look at me and say, You need a drink, and fast.

So we get a drink. The only table available is that table in the front, the one in front of the GIANT window to the patio, that same table where I got set up on a date with Social Moron almost two years ago. We sit there, but I put my back to the window, as he is sitting just outside.

N says, who the hell is he with? It's an older woman, a blond, a guy, somebody else.

I say, Oh! That's his mom, his sister, her boyfriend. He said they were coming. You know, he's never been to Federal...this isn't his place or anything. We told him last Saturday night now much we love this place...

N, gotta love his humour, says: Wow. And here you come, walking up that sidewalk like you do, all tight jeans, high heels and Miller High Life t-shirt that just screams "classy" with a guy on each side of you. And after you walk by, he gets to tell his mom, that that girl, that girl in the miller high life t-shirt who is out with two men, that's the girl I went on a few dates with. Ha!

I laughed my ass off at that. The Punk Boy entourage left within 30 minutes. We however, stayed and drank and ate - they were playing a weird but beautiful mix of Peter Murphy, The Smiths, The Sundays, New Order.

Moved on to Green Room. Played some pool, and owned the jukebox for an hour. Pulp Fiction, Neil Diamond.

We dropped T off, then headed to Alibi for a drink. It was like we couldn't stand to be outside of Raleigh, for fear of missing something. Silly, but we both felt it. Went to JP! for last call, weird crowd there, few that we knew.

The night ended when the ugly lights came on and it was past last call for alcohol, and we went our separate ways to catch up on sleep.
