A few short minutes later, the Justins called me and I was able to record part of the conversation, despite the fact that I [...]

Dear God, Please Let That One Guy Get Really Drunk Tonight

Posted by zhx on December 23rd, 2007 filed in All, Blog Entries

[Downtown, headed to the arcade for cheap beer and Gorf (or Robotron, depending on my mood). Ahead of me on the street corner, a man in a Santa suit is making out with a woman, also in full Santa gear. A happily inebriated toothless man in a SWAT hat carrying an open tallboy stops to [...]

Saturn A Go-Go

Posted by zhx on December 19th, 2007 filed in All, Blog Entries
