Weekend
So, I know you're about to ask, ...no I did not make it out to the MP to see my latest crush.The doc was MIA, Dan was practicing, it was raining, ...I stayed home and slept.
Saturday night almost ended up the same way. I made myself some crab spring rolls and began contemplating spending an entire weekend in the house when I got a late call from the doc. We went out to Riversplash. For those who do not know, Riversplash is an outdoor beer bash located on Milwaukee's downtown bar/restaurant strip (Water Street). It is a very "Water street" crowd, ...lots of baseball caps, Gap wear, hemp necklaces and other frat boy accessories. So, why the hell was I there?
Well, the doc kinda likes that whole scene. He drag him along to all the punk rock, garage rock, emo rock, hip/urban clubs, but he's not really in his element there. He really wanted to go and I consider it restitution for dragging him all across the city to see bands he hates. Anyway, a great band, the Mistreaters, had their CD release Saturday night at the Cactus. We left Riversplash at midnight and decided to tip a pint at the Garage before heading across the Hoan bridge to Bay View.
While we were there I managed to catch the eye of the only cute girl in the place, ...a tall, sleepy-eyed brunette. I don't think she was actually interested, but she certainly noticed my glances and didn't really seem all that annoyed. Her expression was rather matter-of-fact, which is fine. She was not exactly my type anyway, ...but man was she cute.
On to the Cactus. We missed the Mistreaters, but heard they rocked pretty hard. As usual, things got a little out of hand, ...dancing on the tables, mass groping, ...usual Mistreaters chicanery. Well, guess who shows up? Yep, the brunette. Of course she sees me. We exchange glances again, but for the life of me I can't interpret them. Long story short, ...I holstered my weapon. Maybe I'll get a clearer signal next time, ...or maybe I'll have a little more of the bottled confidence in me.
