Judi Chicago and Noot d’Noot 8/8/09
This night I was amongst the hipster republic of Little 5 Points pondering the nostalgic wonder of young experience. We are all adults here in the Starbar, at least by the amount of years we’ve traversed the Earth, stumbling through buildings and attempting to ascertain the beauty of some strange landscape and rambling into reckless experimentation with various….drugs.
I mostly found a fondly close comfort in the fact that we are all still children. Yes, we, and by we I mean the collective young “adults,” have not deviated much from the lost days of silent lunch, boy-girl-boy-girl seating arrangement, or nap-time. We do not fall far from the primitive tree of child-like desire. We might even catch ourselves crying from a scrape on the knee after falling from that tree.
The important thing for us now is to capture that small window of vivid happiness. It is important to not analyze or intellectualize those negative occurrences we see in the great hill of life. Towards the bottom of that hill is a pit of fire and lava and all the women (or men) you pissed off with your genitals. Don’t look at it though. Just embrace it as an experience worth having, because they’re all worth having.
This leading to a concert review. I promise. I’m almost completely positive that maybe it will turn out to be probable.
I only thought all of this because I remember the first time I fell in love with Atlanta. I walked through the Krog Street tunnel, slightly inebriated and missing clothes that would’ve covered my lovelies. It was easy to feel love after enormous amounts of alcohol.
I fell in love with Judi Chicago’s music in a similar way, however, this particular time I was wearing my clothes…most of the time. “Mad Ape” came on and this youthful energy exploded during the chorus. It was as if we had been holding back for so long. Maybe those silent lunches and boy-girl seating and countless rules thrust on our tiny backs had finally been lifted. And it was lifting, or liberating, or any other ridiculous human emotion that one associates with being happy.
Later that night, I was viciously accosted by a strange little girl. She choked me. She put some kitten-like scars on either side of my neck. It was an aggressive cat scratch. A little girl coming at me like whirlwind of teeth and fingernails and absolute insanity manifested from some previous childhood issue. I preceded to put her in a deserved head lock. This little black haired girl is the silent partner of a posh midtown eatery or so my memory tells me.
Afterwards, I made this delicious grilled cheese sandwich with jalapeños. I recommend it. Really, come to my house. This is all I do. I get bored and make sandwiches. It helps me keep my youth while still pretending to have responsibility.
I think I shit my pants later on that fine day, though. I’m good about twice a year for that.
On a more conservative note…..
5 Straitlaced Things to do on a Monday in Atlanta:
1. Find shrooms. Go to the park. Stare at clouds.Then go to www.iprelay.com and phone your friends…seriously. Possibly the most entertaining thing to do with your time. Ever.
2. Find more shrooms. Take off work. Paint your walls. Make a Diet Coke Bomb with Mentos.
3. Find shrooms. Go to Java Lords. Get 14 $1 dollar PBRs. Try to remember the night.
4. Find shrooms. Call an old friend. Go break shit at a junkyard.
5. Stop doing mushrooms and writing inane lists.
P.S. Toy Story 2 was O.K.
Here’s a joke to tell your friends when you’re afraid they hate you for not being funny:
What did Adam say when Eve jumped into the river at the Garden of Eden?
(The stupid freaking answer): “Son-of-a-labia-licker! Now all the fish are gonna smell like that…
