tales from an ordinary world

1999-07-16

So I went out drinking with Tom to the Elwood Lounge, where the 750mL VB bottles are sensibly priced (perhaps). Fine, everything's fine. We move on to the city, to visit Elly at a punk-girl thing called Oxide. Little did I know that it was upstairs from Abyss, where various goth (or goth-compatible) people I knew were, of course, in attendance. A collision of worlds. What to do ? Even weirder was when I left, another world came into play when an old ex-housemate of mine from 1996 was inexplicably hanging around the entrance, chatting to the doorman. He's certainly not the Abyss (or Oxide) type...The world's too small.
