Oh The Drama!

So, we're sitting there last night at the Boiler Room (yes, I know it was Tuesday and not the regular night....don't you worry, we're going back tonight) and we're talking and drinking our drinks and laughing and generally having a good time when all of a sudden, there's the sound of breaking glass and a large hole appears in the window behind the table where the kj sits. In a matter of about ten seconds, the entire male patronage of the bar sprinted out the doors and chased after the cracked out dude who'd just been 86'd from the place for being a jackass and felt like he needed to get some aggression out by putting his foot through a pane of glass. Needless to say, the music stopped and the people were stunned into silence for a few minutes as we all took in what had just happened. It was all so quick that when some of the boys from our table came back and said that the police had caught the guy and, because he was struggling to get away and resisting arrest, clubbed him before they took him down to the station, I didn't even know what exactly had happened, if anything, to provoke him. Once the story was sorted out by the bartender, the owner and the police officer who came in to take statements and see if they wanted to press charges, everyone started to breathe again and reassess the plan for the rest of the evening since karaoke there was obviously ruined. We hung out with the folks who work there for a bit and then decided we were hungry so we headed over to the Roxy and got breakfast (mmmm, french toast and bacon). Then decided we weren't tired so it sounded like a good idea at the time to go back to our house and play board games. The window kicker's crack must have rubbed off on us because we staying up all night. I haven't slept at all since 7am yesterday. And if you didn't catch it the first time around, I'm going out again tonight to see Captured By Robots and then sing at the bar. Have I mentioned that I'm going to court with my asst. manager tomorrow morning at 9am to learn the process for appearing on the company's behalf in an eviction case? Yeah, I'm insane. I know.
