Four young men saw NOFX last night at Irving Plaza. They left Levittown to get on the 6:59 train, however fighting about who would drive delayed their departure. They arrived and two of the boys got out of the car to run to get beer, the other two parked the car. As the two boys were parking the car, the train came, and they were too far away, and despite running like the wind, they missed that train. The two boys went up onto the platform and waited for their two comrades to come back with their beer. They waited, they waited, they waited. The one boy went to the car to get his cell phone, and lo and behold, the other two boys had gotten on the train and told their friends to meet them at Penn Station. On the train Platform, one boy was drinking his own beer. The boys then met two of their friends on the platform who were waiting for the train also, they were going to see the World Trade Center lights, and they all went on the train together. On the train there was a dirty man who had just sat with some kid and kept talking to him and gave him beers. The heroes of our story were concerned bystanders. At Penn Station our heroes saw Paletta, and the boy who had been drinking mocked him and gave his girlfriend's roommate a high five. Then the boys came outside and began their walk on the streets of the city. The boys wanted beer, so along the way they got beer and drank from paper bags as they walked. They finally got to Irving Plaza, and they were not allowed in because their tickets were for the next night! However, the boys told the man they had come from Massachusetts and they showed him a Massachusetts ID card. One of the boys had a Massachusetts ID card!!! They got in and got ready to rock. By this time the boy who had started drinking at the train station was pretty drunk, so he chilled on the floor for a while, and then went upstairs and sat on a couch. Some crazy girl rolled over the couch and grabbed him, asking him if he was alright. He was. She asked him if he wanted water, so to please the girl he said sure. She brought him water and he ate ice cubes. Then she grabbed him by the arm and said come on, we're goin to find your friends. So she dragged him downstairs and threw him into the crowd. He then longed for another beer, so he went by the bar and asked some woman to buy him one. She agreed if he would pay, so he pulled out his wallet and he had 3 singles, and 2 twenties. The woman paid for his beer, he felt bad, but accepted. Then he chilled in the back of the crowd a little, and then waited for his friends by the doorway. THE END |
