I can’t stop telling this story.
Sunday night, back at the Hotel (The Marriott for anyone interested) I ended up joining up with a group going for a quick something to eat. There was a 24 hour diner and 24 hour gormet food store open closeby and I was hungry. I know little J was supposed to “hook up” with the other kid, but I was hungry enough to ignore it. Frankly, I missed about 80 times the names of the couple, but it was a few out of towners, the couple, their buddy and my adopted merch bitch Adam, and Jacqui.
We walk down, get our stuff and head back. As we approached the side doors, we started digging for keys, since we needed them to open the doors after hours. A group of kiddies come out, and we yell “Hey hold the door!” and they all step out and stare at us and allow the door to close. *sighs*
They proceed to ask us where the after party is, the one that happened AFTER the Saturday one and was WAY more invite only than that. Especially vocal about it was a little punk rock girl. I think Johnny Rotten has undies older than this girl *snerk* We mostly replied *shrugs* dunno, and I know I said “I’m old and tired and have food, so it’s pretty much to bed.”
She said, very clearly “You don’t LOOK much like after party people anyway.” *sniff*
The out of towners we has with us were Stephan and Ringo from Das Ich.
Suddenly, at the elevator, little punk girl PUSHED her way on and started animatedly talking to us. They got off the elevator at the party floor followed by the girl and her boy, and I said I wasn’t an “after party” person and would be going to bed. Proceeded to PEE myself laughing, that it was OK to be a smarmy fuck, until she realized the “nobodys” were SOMEBODYS, then is was asskissery time.
Punk is so dead.
I wish I could have seen her face when she realized who she was talking to. I think one of the guys said something to her but I didn’t hear it. I was too busy with the “You don’t LOOK like you’re after party people.” *LOL*
Frankly it’s an attitude I’m seeing more and more often. I mean I know goth is overdone, and long out od phase, but if that’s true what about Punk? What about the re-evolution, and more to the point, the regurgitation of a phase about NOT being in a phase? The whole deathrock/punk thing leaves me a bit sad. NO WAY any of these kids were around when their gods were, and the lessons are lost on them. They just have the attitude problems and the bad fashion sense.

Date: 2006-08-02 09:54 pm (UTC)EVERYONE told her "we don't know where any parties are"
and _I'M_ the only one who didn't go to one.
Ringo wasn't feeling well, but I know Stephan went, since M went too.
It wasn't that we were all old and farty
It was that NOONE WANTED HER TO COME.
*Hahahahahahahaha*
Heh - it was even funnier when it happened. STupid dirty punk.

I'll definately think about it harder than I have been. I don't want to subject anyone to my mood, so only if it imporves (which it tends to do after work. I wonder why? *grins*)

Hilarious story to say the least... probably would not have believed it if I hadn't been there myself.

Oh yeah... and remind me to make a new LJ account later, I seem to have lost the password to my malignus one.

hold off on the pictures - J's already got the shirts cooking. I'm sure you have better things to do than titilate old men.
We're going up to Haverhill for food and beer with
