Last Friday, one of my favorite musicians, Adam Green, came to town. Since his days as the better half of the Moldy Peaches he has become a fat jew in an ozzy osbourne jumpsuit, but yet, I love him (And, maybe out of retribution, so does most of Germany. ) This was to be my first time seeing him.
i WaS so ExCited as I rode the train into the big apple! It was gonna be a night to remember! I knew all his songs by heart! I had watched his zany performances on www.youtube.com over and over again! And here I was, finally going to see him in person. And here I was, finally going to make out with him.
Walking to the corner where I was to meet my friend, I hummed along to his songs playing out of my Apple iPod.
"I hAveN't bEeN tHiS eXcItEd tO seE a ShoW iN a LonG tImE!!!!!!" I told my friend. She fervently agreed, and we set out for Brooklyn. As we drew nearer and nearer to the venue I noticed a change come over me, slowly at first, but then stronger and stronger as if in waves. I wasn't just some stupid girl from westchester, I wasn't just "oUt to HaVe a GoOd tIme." I wasn't just there to talk to hot guys or to "gEt ToaSted." I wasn't just "human." I believe I was dancer.
Outside the venue were a couple of girls in spandex and heels smoking cigarettes. I looked down at my pleather booty shorts and thought, "i bElonG."
All confidence and natural charm, I walked up to the bouncer.
"I.D?" he said
with a smile and the faintest hint of a wink, i handed him my card. As I waited to be stamped in I mused, "MaN dO i EvEr LoOk gOoD toNigHt! AdAm GrEeN is MiNe. He'S MiNe. I'm His BiGgEsT Fa-"
"You can't come in here" said the bouncer, "You're not 21"
"bUt, BuT... I thOuGhT iT waS ALl aGeS!" I cried.
"No" he said coldly, "Read the sign."
The bouncer was a fat, fat man and I hated him.
An eruption of applause echoed through the venue halls, into which it seemed I never would tread. A girl strode past me, she too wearing Ammy Appy booty shorts. They seemed to sneer at me as she walked by.
NO. I would not let this happen. I would get in. I would fight. I loved Adam Green. I had come all this way and this fat, fat man would not stop me. I would flirt my way in. I took a deep breath, hiked up my shorts, stroked the bouncer's arm and mumured,
"cOmeOn PleAsE, i wOn'T tElL anYonE..."
Somewhere people sing and dance
somewhere lovers find romance
Somewhere there's a place for all sorts
for girls and boys in leather shorts.
Somewhere there's care and happiness
But as for me, one dark abyss.
the world, it crumbles. Michael J ackson, he died.
To the Adam Green show, I had been denied.
p.s
on the taxi ride back uptown, I ended up on taxicab confessions. talked about sex and the ghetto. whoops!
