Slept in and drove out to Long Island. Walked up and down Coney Island, got the classics: mint chocolate chip ice cream, onion rings, water bottle out of a suit case. The weather was perfect, a breezy 75. It was great to see so many people out, lots of folks dancing and playing music. By far one of my favorite games was "Shoot the Freak". This booth consisted of one man shouting over a loud speaker while children paid money to shoot paint ball guns at a live human target in a pit of junk. Very exciting.
The people watching was prime. Kids fishing for crab off of the pier and people daring their friends to jump to the water 25 feet below. The whole scene was perfect. The only way it could have possibly been better was if Chris had been there. I've missed him terribly this whole trip.
Nathan and I left Coney Island around 5 to grab some food at an Italian eatery in a strip mall. Then, to the show. He picked up this gig last week playing piano for a show. I decided to tag along, he said he needed help turning pages so I figured it would be an adventure. Little did I know, I would be spending the next 4 hours in the basement of a Jewish community center with no air conditioning, watching a hodgepodge crew of teenagers and seniors perform the musical Guys & Dolls. Not really sure what to say about all that. But, overall, it was a pretty quirky way to spend a Saturday night.
hahaha naked kid butt!
