Return from CLEVELANDIA! It is the land of CLEAVING, you know. Cleveland was fun, because it was not Pittsburgh. Sometimes that's all that matters. We got a totally awesome hotel room for $40 (one of the highlights), it even came complete with a salubrious breakfast! With french toast, even!
When we got into Cleveland, we decided to head for Coventry, as I had never been there before and it was supposed to be mad sweet. Well, to get to Coventry from where we were, you had to cross Euclid and Cleveland Heights, otherwise known as THE GHETTO (imagine that spray painted in backwards blue letters on the side of a tenement for proper effect). After only getting turned around a billion or so times, we found Coventry and bought toys. Cool ones, that glow in the dark and bear a striking resemblance to the Creature from the Black Lagoon. This is mostly because it was a glow in the dark Creature who hailed from a certain infamous Black Lagoon. So that was all cool, and we managed to get lost again on the way back, but no big deal.
So that night we needed to find something to do, and our only viable option seemed to be the Carnal Carnival 2 at Club Phantasmagoricalogimasm. See, we wanted to go so we could find a hot goth girl to go back to our hotel room with us. Jenna is cute, so this didn't seem like too tall an order. So after (again) getting lost, we found the place. Forked $20 to get in only to discover....there were about 30 people there total spread over two separate floors in this "club" (I think it was a renovated sea food restaurant, but that's just me). Out of these people 23 or so of them were dudes about my dad's age. The music sucked, and the atmosphere was a pleasant mixture of uncomfortable/creepy/lame, so we didn't stick around long enough to find any cute goth girls. We must be doing something terribly wrong, since we've been trying to find a girl to have a threesome with for like a year now.
Next day, we hit up Madison coz I remembered there being some neat stuff there and we didn't really have time for the zoo or anything, but most of the places were closinated. Jenna scored some super cheap CDs though, and I got a $3 Armored Saint March of the Saint record (can't have that album in enough formats...), so that was a decent expedition. Then we ran out of stuff to do, so we went home. And got lost.
Did I mention we saw a one-armed man going into the pr0n shop we were leaving at about midnight? He seemed very uncomfortable.
