Just got an autographed copy of "NEPTUNE CITY", the new CD from the band I'd been raving about, NICOLE ATKINS and the SEA. Thanks a lot guys (especially you Prinda for dropping it off)! And for the rest of you out there, if you haven't checked her out yet, do yourself a favor and do so. I find myself more and more impressed with her sound with each listen and I'm sure you will too.
Oh, before I go, I gotta share this quick funny story from the other night.
So it's the night before Thanksgiving. Usually a busy night for the neighborhood bars, not so much for Manhattan bars. With that being said, our bar was surprisingly good for said night.
At one point during the evening, I was sitting at the front of the bar, chatting away with FRENCHY and SUGAR (they were heaping mounds of abuse on me for not going to their house for Thanksgiving), when this black chick came into the bar and pulled up a stool next to me.
Now at first glance, she was pretty attractive; however, it was fairly obvious that she wasn't from around here. For starters, she ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, which is usually a dead giveaway for "Tourist" (which she was) or "Underaged Twat" (which she definitely wasn't). She then began talking to me about her reasons for being in the bar. She was in town from San Diego, house-sitting for a friend. She went on and on about some strange topics that I couldn't decipher, and then she dropped a strange line on me: " I don't plan on hooking up with anyone tonight, but maybe in a couple of days....." WTF????
So of course, there are about a hundred things running through my head, of which 95 of them had red flags attached to them. So as she talked on and on, I started to get a headache. I got the feeling that something wasn't quite kosher with this chick. So as I excused myself to tend to some pressing bar matters, one of the bartenders continued talking to her. As it turned out:
1) She wasn't into black guys (at least she apologized about that)
2) She wasn't into STRAIGHT black guys
3) She was in an eight year relationship (with a woman)
4) She wanted directions to a gay club and expected us to have the answer. WTF?
So once we deciphered all of that, we more of less left her to her business. Until a certain barfly came in. I don't really want to blow up his spot (blog readers know who I'm talking about) but what happens next is classic. He sees the young lady and immediately makes a beeline to her, much like a vulture circling around dead carcass. He strikes up a conversation with her and within minutes, she walks over to us and bids us "goodnite". When the bartender asks why she was leaving, she said that the guy was "creeping her out". (I shit you not).
After convincing her that he was okay, she ended up staying. Soon after that, a Justin Timberlake song came on and she jumped up from her seat and began dancing by herself in the middle of the bar. Then the unthinkable happens: She saunters over to the barfly and pulls him to the back of the bar and began giving him a lap dance. Hysterical! Halfway through the song he ended up walking away and going back to his drink (I guess he couldn't handle it). Classic stuff.
Soon after, she picked up and left. Just like that. Bizarre.... just like her.
Hope that you had a great Thanksgiving!
