another blast from the past. .
when i was about 16 or so me and my friend sanders decided to hitch hike to hollywood from orcutt .. to go see the flower leperds with 8 bucks between us and 15 hits of acid to sell ..
seemed like a good idea at the time. .
our first ride was a female cal-poly student in a classic red mustang . .she was already drinking a bottle of vodka and juice so we partied on down the 101 fwy . .
she wanted to take us all the way to thousand oaks, but i wanted to visit grannie in ventura, so we got off there. .
i wonder what ever happened to her. .that chick was bad-ass. .
anyways. . we got to la early the next day and ran into tina turner's personal spiritual guide in front of paramount studios and she invited us to attend some type of meeting , that we eventually went to , and ate everything they had to offer and then left. .
at the show , we weren't selling any drugs but we were taking them and we ran into some girls that invited us to go to some night club downtown. .we said we didn't have any money , but they said they knew how to sneak in . . and then one of the girls said we could stay at the place she just moved out of . .because it was empty. .
so we went for the ride . .
the way into the club was to climb up the fire escape 4 stories high . .which we did , and as soon as we got in. . the whole place was day-glo. .(it was the 80's remember) and a band was playing . . and when i looked at the band i saw that the drummer was a midget. .so i asked my friend sanders. ."do you see a midget drummer?'
you know just to make sure since i was frying and all. .
and he confirmed my suspicions. .
but i had to pee really badly. .so i looked for the restroom and saw a bunch of people lined up . .so i figured it was the restroom. .and i walked thru this doorway. .and instantly realized . . this was the paying customers entrance. . and then turned around and tried to go back in. .but a big 'ol bouncer asked for my stamp. . and even though i said "i just walked out!"
he was having none of it. .
so. i pissed in the hallway on my way down. . and made my way up the fire escape once more. .
once i got in. .i went out to the terrace and this girl comes up to me and starts making conversation. .
she asks me if i've ever seen some george michael video and i say no. .(because i abolished tv for a few years ) and then she says she's in that video. anyways i think she's glad i don't know who she is because we hook-up and spend most of the night together. . (i've actually seen the video later and there she is strutting down the runway. .kinda betty page-ish)
when it's finally time to go . .
the 'friend' of the girl that invited us to stay at her empty apt. . talks her friend into thinking we ain't that trustworthy. .
so. . we end up finding shelter in an abondoned building a few blocks away . .and we wake up to a demolition crew attempting to smash the building down with us inside it. .
and when we run out of the building, they're actually pissed at us . . like we endangered them somehow. .
i guess we got home ok. .
