Redwalls

Here's how last night went down:
1. The cabbie who drove me to The Gingerman serenades me with a Cowboy song.
2. Mike and I drink pints at The Gingerman where he runs into an old friend from high school.
3. We head next door to The Metro to see The Redwalls. Great show.
4. I lose a bet on the number of encores they will perform.
5. Back to the Gingerman where Mike and I proceed to run the pool table for a couple of hours.

7. On the cab ride home we make a brief stop at a 7-11. Mike steps into the gas station while I wait in the cab. A car then hits the cab and peels out of the convenient store parking lot. Cabbie and I jump out and he begins to chase the car down. Cabbie runs back to cab, hops in and begins to drive away. I walk into 7-11 and tell Mike I was just in a car accident. Police show up and I proceed to give a report on the accident.
8. I never pay up on the lost bet. I still owe Mike a beer.

I was one of those nights when the journey was just as interesting as the destination.
