We rode over to Joshua Tree in Erik's car and were able to get two seats in the middle of the near end of the bar. I spent the night drinking a beer that was new to me, Lagunitas IPA, which was pretty decent. It's rare for me to come across a bad IPA. We hung out and caught up on stuff (Erik was in a bad mood but didn't really explain why), and I was pretty oblivious to anything going on except how beautiful my favorite bartender's eyes were (as always). After awhile Brian & Erik somehow wound up talking to two attractive & cool local girls, Kara and Tracy. Brian & Kara were instantly 'dumbstruck' into one another, and Tracy & I were getting along swimmingly (talking a lot and flirting without any awkwardness), as Erik talked a bit and mostly seemed to observe. What happened next I still haven't been able to piece together 100%...
One minute I was talking and laughing along with my friends and the ladies, and the next I had some hot little blonde in my lap, kissing me hard and long, completely out of control. Where the heck had she come from? After a bit of that extremely enjoyable, rather perplexing, and somewhat embarrassing activity, the bouncer asked us to take it outside, so I carried her out, and she kept going at me, while I did my best to comprehend my good fortune, as well as tried to stay upright by leaning against a lamp post. The crowd was cheering us on, and I was trying to explain that it wasn't like me to cause such a scene, but the girl smelled SO good, and she was such a kick-ass kisser that I just enjoyed it for a few minutes, occasionally coming up for air to tell her how beautiful she was (what a face!) and ask her "Where did you come from?". I never got an answer. But apparently everyone except Erik got tons of pictures! Sheesh.

Nice pic... What a good night!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered that Joshua Tree closed last summer! It's been replaced by some upscale trendo place called 'Elm Street Taproom'. I'll have to check it out.
