last night

dear friends,

so, after celebrating optimuscrime's (the blog, not the editor's) first birthday at rockaberry last night the residents of the illustrious circle road manor braved the super-slush to get on the 166 and head to a little establishment known as "the cock and bull" to a) see ms. sofi off as she is leaving m-city for the t-dot for the holidays. and b) see a friend and business partner of optimushalifax's band the burdock's. it was a great show... and inadvertently hilarious. apparently, the establishment usually has cover bands cause the locals were looking for some weezer. but it's my birthday. play some weezer. say it ain't so.

anyway, the craziest part of the whole night was when i spotted someone who looked familiar. after a few minutes i began to think it was this girl who was on the yearbook staff when i was the editor. since that was over five years ago and i have not seen her since, i was not sure. i kept looking at her, or she kept looking at me... anyway, she decided she would be the potentially creepy one and come over and ask if i was in fact carol ann from st. paul's in trenton (which of course i am). anyway, the last time i saw this girl she was 14... now she has several large tatoos and is in "a rock and roll band"... her family no longer lives in trenton. she gets bonus points for saying i was looking very good.

i find it totally odd running into random trentonians in the big city. the last time it happened was last spring at the pretty girls make graves/constantines show when this guy named jamie came over and asked if i was in fact carol ann from trenton who used to work at mcdonald's (which in fact i am)... he used to work there too... but he is like four years older than me and our working there overlapped for like 4 months. weird.

if we lose touch and you see me in a bar in five years say hi, even if it means i am going to talk about you the minute you are out of ear shot.

love,
cam
