So.

I went to a bar, an "Irish pub", and drank German beer, because the Irish are good for nothing unless we're talking whisky.

Which I wasn't.

I tried to work on my story and I got an important conversation down and then I got a call from THE WAX BANANAS. They were doing a year-end show along with all the other local punk bands.

So I went to that.

I was pretty buzzed at that point. SKULLETS, the DIY punk rock venue here in town has no booze license, so it ain't legal to drink there. Thus, there's a lot of plastic Pepsi cups full of vodka.

We do what we can.

Fun was had. I didn't mosh, though I came close. I watched the youngsters mosh, though, and they did well.

I was proud of them.

Then I went to a bar, and I was drinking there, and smiling, and realized I couldn't drive. I am all old and seriously against drinking and driving. New Year's Eve is just around the corner…don't do it. It ain't worth it and is truly WRONG.

There are people in the world, regular people, going about their shit, buying groceries or whatever, and they shouldn't have to worry about your drunk ass running them over.

Tonight I got a cab. I am a responsible adult. Fuck yeah :)
