downtown dudes

[ateolf]

we (David, Paul, Aaron, and i) first went out to Jillians to go bowling...they all complained about my car's stench...due to the flooding rain last week and my leaking window...the floor of the driver's side is still damp...and it's all mildewy or whatever...i guess i should have it cleaned...it'd need it anyway...but cleaning stuff sucks...anyway, bowling was pretty cool...they have clear balls w/ skulls in 'em...that's phatt...right when we had finished this bum/"artist" came up to us wanting to draw us for $7 a head...David talked him down to $5...(obviously a rip-off still, but he was drunk and wacky and it seemed like it should be at least an entertaining investment...) the guy draws all our heads...it's fucking awful...Paul's was the best 'cuz he didn't even draw a face...just a big mass of scribble...his pen had run out while drawing him and he tried out a red and a blue pen (as opposed to the original black) for a scribble or two...but David gave him the $20...the guy still tried us to get us to tip him...as if he wasn't lucky as hell to have gotten twenty fucking dollars...we went to eat at Huey's but the kitchen had closed...bastards...walking back the other way the bum ran into us again...he was still asking for more money so Paul started harassing him, complaining about the picture...he said he was lucky we didn't roll him and take the money back...then we left the downtown scene and headed to Neil's...i ate, they drank, and we listened to some rökk und roll on ze jukebox...they closed and Paul suggested Aftershock...when we got there we realized we had left our expensive artwork at Neil's...so Paul and i went back to fetch it...on the way back, i came up w/ a brillant idea...carry around a pad and pen and whenever a bum asks for change, have 'em draw us for it...then start up a big collection of bum art...genius! while we were gone, apparently some guy had hit on Aaron...we played pool...took pictures w/ Aaron's digital camera...back to the apartment where we introduced Aaron to the glory of 1000 blank, white cards...i left to go home at about 6am or so...ugh...
