Tonight: The Beets, No Bunny, & More; Bushwick Kegger

I still have not made it out to Bruar Falls yet but they've been putting some solid shows together, which ain't easy. Tonight The Beets, No Bunny, Hunx & His Punx, German Measles, and Baby Shakes are playing. Elsewhere in Brooklyn, there's some kegger at some random residence with some random bands. Now it doesn't sound so hot but those parties usually end up being the best.

"Piss Between My Legs!" She Said Excitedly

So I'm at some crazy punk rock party in Bushwick last night. The party was in a tiny apartment that had way too many people crammed into it. The shitty little mosh pit in the dining room died down as the band finished up their set. That's when I realized I had to take a piss.

I pushed my way through the crowd and took my place in line. I waited at the end of the line, which extended into the kitchen, for the five or so people in front of me to do their business. That's when she got in line behind me.

I didn't really notice her at first, she was unassuming - especially amongst the mohawk and tattoo crowd. Then she started talking loudly to her friend behind me and that's when I turned around. She was a cute girl in a fur coat who seemed out of place at a crazy ass punk party.

Somehow I ended up inserting myself into their conversation. I remember discussing the line and how slowly it was moving. She said "I piss like a dude" to those behind her to ensure them she wouldn't be nearly as long as the dicks in front of us - who were probably doing blow.

Then she turned to me and asked me if she could accompany me to the bathroom. She wanted to know if I was willing to speed things up by pissing in the sink while she pissed in the toilet. I denied her offer saying that I would feel bad pissing in some dudes sink. Then her friend interjected with a solution, "She can sit on the toilet and you can stand over her and piss between her legs" she said jokingly.

I laughed along with the friend as it was quite a funny suggestion but she wasn't laughing. A look of great excitement came over her face. "Yeah! Piss between my legs!" she said excitedly. Again, I laughed until I realized that she wasn't actually joking. Her friends joke became a serious suggestion. Upon seeing that she was totally into the suggestion, the friend encouraged me to go along with it too.

It's not many times in life that a man is made such an offer, especially by a stranger. The fact is I wanted to do it, if for no other reason than it's a once in a lifetime experience. This was quite a dilemma. After some serious thought I decided to decline. The fact is, displaying my wang in front of a random girl in a bathroom (even in a non-sexual manner) would probably upset my girlfriend. So I totally pussied out.

The girls were noticeably upset that I refused such an amazing offer. I mean if you make a grand intimate proposal like that you expect compliance. I felt pretty bad, for both upsetting her and knowing I'd regret my decision, but I would have felt even worse the next day had I done it.

So I went into the bathroom solo while they waited in line outside. I finished my business, washed my hands, and stepped back into the hallway. When I opened the door I was greeted by the girls with looks of utmost disgust. I said nothing but raised my arms and tilted my head in that "sorry, nothing I can do about it" gesture.

Then I pushed my way back through the crowd to rejoin my friends drinking vodka in the corner. I immediately shared my story because, let's face it, it's a fucking awesome tale to tell. My story was followed first by dropped jaws and laughter and then by "What the fuck dude! Why didn't you do it? Seriously? I would have fucking done that shit! What's wrong with you? Where's this girl at?".

Of course, under the barrage of criticism, I started to doubt myself. Maybe I should have done it because... Well, let's face it - that ain't happening again, ever. All night long as we hopped around from place to place I was reminded of my folly. "Dude, what were you thinking, man?" was the mantra of the night.

Then I got home and shared the night's highlight with my girlfriend. She thought it was hilarious and was quite pleased I didn't do the deed. That's when I realized I made the right choice. You see had I actually done it I would have had to keep this gem of a story to myself. However, in refraining, I gained an awesome story I could actually tell you all about!

 Pavement - Teenage Piss Party 

Tonight: Brooklyn Loft Party, Burning Angels, & Kickball

No need to leave Brooklyn tonight. First off there's a house party on Johnson in Bushwick with some bands I never heard of but who cares - it's a party! Then there's a birthday party for one of the Burning Angel girls at Public Assembly - expect lots of tits and tats. The final option is the big kickball league "Ball" (get it?) at The Warsaw. Of course if you didn't play in the league (or more specifically weren't asked to join a team...ASSHOLES) then I'm not sure why you would go. Personally I'm going to the house party, nothing against the Burning Angel girls but I can do without the random creepy dudes that show up.

WilliamsBush

So I've been living near the Montrose L stop for a week now. I still don't know what to call it, some say East Williamsburg others say Bushwick. I'm a curious fellow so I did some research and I still don't have a straight answer. It seems that according to the city it is in fact East Williamsburg but even then it's not cut and dry. The fact is ALL of Williamsburg was at one time called Bushwick, so trying to figure out where the borderline is ain't an easy thing. It seems that the answer my be Flushing Avenue, which according to several sources I found is the actual border.

So I think I live in East Williamsburg but it may in fact be Bushwick (it certainly was at one time). Occasional BSC review guy, Tom, suggested the area be referred to as Williamsbush. I think it has a nice ring to it so I'm going to use that from now on.

Also, if you live in the same area please let me know some good brunch spots. I have yet to find one out here and I'm hungry. Any other recommendations are appreciated.
