lol, I “did attend” with some college friends and it was a spectacle. people dressed up like it was a music festival to fit the themes in the note, the brewery on girard made a special jalapeño ipa for the event. I still quote “of course, you’ll be sedated first“
last night i went to a summer solstice costume party in the woods in full clown paint (not pictured)
actually it was very bad. about 30 high school jock types showed up and i had to leave because i felt like one of the cops in Superbad. turns out 20 is a weird age and sociable adults like to drink in bars, not secretly in the forest. aesthetically it was a fantastic night though
yuriko invited me to her going away party because I asked to try her ginger beer when she rec’d it a while back. the ginger beer apparently exploded before it could be served but I met some cool people, ate some nice cake, lost at chess, and had a good time. if socializing is your thing I recommend the experience, kinda fun to be the mysterious stranger at the function.
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
