The Hip

I was away laughing on a fast camel tonight, i.e. at the Tragically Hip concert with Free Samples, Tsuzanne, and AT. Good times. Not nearly enough old Hip, though. Regradless, Gord... Damn. You could make it onto the list someday, buddy. There's potential there. Just eat more meat or something, 'cause you're looking a little skeletal.

In other news, the boys sitting next to Free Samples were ver ver friendly. Perhaps too friendly. On their way out to buy a beer, the one asked me if he could buy me a drink. I says to him I says, "No thanks. I'm good." Because 1) me moms told me never to take candy from strangers, and 2) I like a side of lemon in my beer, not date-rape drug.

When they got back to their seats, beers in hand, the following conversation manifested:

Random Guy: "I offered to buy your friend a drink, but she said no."
Free Samples: "Yea. She doesn't drink."
Random Guy: "Why not?"
Free Samples: "Because she's an alcoholic."
Random Guy: "Well, than isn't that a reason to drink?"
Free Samples: "She's been on the wagon for two years."

Who doesn't love Free Samples? Even if she has turned me into a lush.
