Arts, Beats, and Eats

[Destroit]

I was only there on Monday working security, but Pest was there on Saturday and Monday. It occurred to me that a decent amount of DGNers went, I even saw a few. Did you go? Who did you see? Wtf happened?

I was stationed on an 11 hour shift standing at the gate where Peking House is at Washington and Second St. I was a bit miffed, because this assured I would be on the COMPLETELY opposite side from George Clinton and the Parliament of Funk. I was super depressoed, because I initially didn't want to work Monday and thought, "well, maybe I'll be stationed within at least earshot..." Nope. BUT, I was entitled to two fifteen minute breaks and a lunch break, so while most of my coworkers whittled theirs down throughout the day...I had foresight to know what I was using my last fifteen for: THA FUCKIN P FUNK

So at 9:10 exactly I left my post and I RAN. I didn't even run...I parkoured, off benches and walls, jumping around people, going as fast as my legs could take me down Main Street. I definitely broke my old Main Street Drunk Dash records from high school . I got there for nine glorious minutes of the P-Funk, and got my groove on like it was July 1st, 1979, the day the funk died.

When I ran back to my shift, I added up how long it took me to get there and back, AND I RAN A MILE IN FOUR-FIVE MINUTES. WTF. Talk about having ability under duress. WINNING...made it for this magical number:

AND...George Clinton and the P-Funk covered Lil' Jon "Get Low" :rofl: Did it better than Lil' Jon! Never thought I would hear George Clinton sing, "Skeet skeet skeet" in my life .

I saw Scary Guy, he came through my gate, Killyosaur left through the gate I was stationed at and we had an awesome twenty minuteish convo about a slew of shit. I heard Osaka was there from Pestilence, but I did not see her . Constantin and Lucifer found me in the crowd, because if Pestilence and I are in the same crowd unknowingly, we gravitate toward each other each and every time. Constantin also told me he ran into Zachariah, but I also didn't see him .

I was handed a gigantic bag of cotton candy. I also accidentally made a lewd remark to a nice looking black guy, because he came through like he was at the airport, and asked, "So do I have to be frisked or something?" and I accidentally said, "No, but I'd sure like to..." My boss thought it was funny though, so did the guy, so crisis averted. I haven't worked with the public in quite sometime, and I need to retrain myself in areas of self control .

Made an awesome Inception joke, because a lady came through, I checked her purse...and inside of it was another purse. She was like "Weird, right? It's a purse, within a purse! What would you even call that?" and I immediately blurted out, "A purse within a purse? Clearly that's purseption..." she fucking lulzed hard and did the Leo strut away, fucking hilarious.

Who else went? Did anyone go for the tornado on Saturday? Royal Oak is still WRECKED.

We were supposed to go yesterday, but didn't, because we had a bunch of stuff to get done.

I was there Saturday, the friend I went with on Monday wanted to catch Saving Abel but they bailed due to the storm so we spent the time hiding under the overhangs of the various food-mobiles. I saw Pestilence at the the International Stage but wasn't certain it was him (Chernobyl confirmed for me on Monday that it was indeed him, so, sorry I didn't say "hi"). Was fun chatting on Monday, with all the people that were there and as large as the venue was, I didn't actually expect to catch Chernobyl at the place.

are you absolutely sure you used to hang out in Royal Oak? Why didn't you just run down the railroad tracks?

Was there Saturday and Sunday helping out friends bands, and went Sunday specifically to see The Orbitsuns and then again Monday specifically to see The Psychedelic Furs and George Clinton! Sampled some tasty treats from Bahama Breeze and Melting Pot, and saw a ton of friends and music family Good times!

Because I don't like a felony on my record running through a crowd full of thousands on the railroad tracks while I'm clocked in for work...?
