The Local Social Scene

After my last post, I headed over to an Italian/German place. Yeah, as in the "Axis Powers," as in "we didn't win the war, but we make good food" category. That's probably in poor taste, but being from one of those heritages, I think I'm allowed. I mixed it up there: Italian pasta and good German beer (Spaten Oktoberfest on tap). Afterward, strolled over to a local watering hole to check out the spoken word/rap/punk show.

The spoken word was great!

The rap ranged from poor to great.
And the "punk rock" wasn't, and the guys stank 'cause they drank...as in too much before playing.
Eventually nearly everyone but their friends walked out, including me. Had an interesting, somewhat eerie walk alone (about a 1/2 mile, after 11pm, in an unfamiliar town) back to my hotel, but made it safe and sound.

Now, to bed.
