It is with great pleasure, I proudly declare my support for "Home Land Security" (see previous post). There was a tremendous breakthrough at one of my favorite Oswego "watering holes" this weekend. I feel as though an Olive Branch has been tossed my way.
Not only was I not required to show 2+ forms of ID, as I reached for my wallet, the "soldier" at the door actually recognized me and said: "You're all set, go on in".
WOW! I think I even peed a little at 1st.
What a step. It wasn't everyone's "favorite" bouncer, but none the less, it's always cool to be remembered. It makes me feel like a regular. And I don't wanna brag, but I'm a pretty popular guy, so it was a nice boost to my ego.
I must also say John McConnell on guitar and vocals was again, outstanding. Gotta love that tamberine too, right? Cleatus was clutch on drums as well. All in all, it was a great evening.
Now that I've conquered the border at this fine establishment, my next goal is to get my good pal Wink through customs so he can return to Canada again one day. Now that will be quite challenging. Anyone know a good lawyer?

I remember the first time I got into Old City without showing id, or walking in with a regular ... it was two weeks ago. All I thought was 'I'm really getting old now'. The girl in front of me grabbed one id, and realized it wasn't her fake id, so she put it back and handed the id that portrayed her as a 25 year old to everyone's favorite bouncer. She got in, no problems. Who knows if I got in with no questions asked because I witnessed the entire farce? I was just happy that the Bud Light was cold. Good blog, Greg. Stay strong and write for yourself!
ReplyDeleteAlberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan are all good......I CAN get in, I swear. Even the three territories; Northwest, Nunavut, and Yukon are OK. Ontario.....Not so much. OPP and all. Dig'n your wordage, dude.

John McConnell's awesome. I love that he performs barefoot, too. Barefoot Musicians are the shit :)
