fog

Tonight I bought myself a pack of Djarum, and it instigated an hours-long marathon of nostalgia. The music, the dancing, the drinking, the smells, the tastes, the naivety...

It's such a strange feeling, to miss something that isn't there. I've mythologised myself, and I wonder if I'm the only one?

OMFG that is the bomb!

Pam - I found the mixtape you made right before one of my UNH Dover parties...

I published perzines that prove you're not the only one.

I had a kinda similar feeling... Went to see the Pretenders last night at Avalon. I hadn't been to a club-type show with a lot of people in a long time (usually, either it's an empty club or else it's in a place with seats). My all-ages-hardcore-show instict kicked in, and for a second I thought "Okay, I'll just stand here about 15 feet from the stage... once the band comes out, everyone will start slam-dancing and then I can move up to the front"

Made me want to grab a Marks-A-Lot and draw a big X on both my hands and go dig out some Adrenalin OD records or something.

Ooh, Pretenders! Jealous!

That party is precisely what I was thinking of when I stuck that picture of the Reverend up there. That poster in your bathroom, above the toilet, is the stock "Why my friend Rich is so awesome" story that I trot out on a fairly regular basis. :-)
