Tonight was a good night.<\/p>\n

It started off with seeing Kid Beyond<\/a>, live-looping beatboxer extraordinaire, at the Living Room<\/a>. Andrew was fantastic live as always. Alas, the Living Room was too small a venue for him – it ended up being standing room only as we were packed in like sardines at the back, and had a hard time seeing. But still pretty awesome. <\/p>\n

Dylan’s friend Nate showed up, as did Nate’s friends Beth and Dan, so we all went out afterwards to The Library<\/a>, a nifty little East Village bar, which was having Zombie night. Dan got painted up with zombie makeup, Evil Dead was on the big screen, all good. <\/p>\n

Oh, and Beth was wearing a shirt that said Chicago Men’s Volleyball, so I asked about that, and it turned out it was her boyfriend’s, who she had met playing volleyball. When she found out I used to play, she was totally psyched, and recruited me to be a sub for her league team. It’s some stupidly large league (30 divisions of 10 teams each), so that should be a great way to meet some more people, especially since Beth promised to introduce me to her tall volleyball-playing friends. <\/p>\n

Later on, we went next door to Julep<\/a>, which had a pool table. Dan and I challenged on, and we won, which was awesome, especially after the two women we defeated told us that they had held the table for a few hours against all comers. I played a couple games, then passed on the table to others in our group. Dan put on 80s hair metal (there’s a Poison\/Cinderella concert later this summer that he’s trying to talk me into attending), and then asked me what my favorite 80s hair metal band was. I went with Def Leppard, which he granted as pseudo-hair-metal, we put on “Pour Some Sugar on Me”, and everybody in the bar started rocking out. I need to get that album. <\/p>\n

Anyway. Good evening. It’s nice having a crowd to go out with.<\/p>\n

More tomorrow on identity – I had originally planned to write up some thoughts tonight, but it’s too late and I’m too tired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
