Page 5 - NY Waste Fall 2014

young lady apparently was the
winner of the Miss Worst
Bridesmaid Pageant.....I congratulated each one. I met a freak on the strip........many thought he dressed up to as he did to attract the tourist to have their picture taken with him......shoot the freak....but no, I surmised early on this freak was a real freak this was his uniform not his shtick.....this guy made our recently wing pinned (first flight at 60!) Wizard look like a normal person from Fort Lee. Yeah he
was FREAKY.....in a good way.....livin' his own life in his own
time on his own dime.........he had about 300 keys on a chain
and somehow one got the feeling he may not have had 300 locks......we were hanging on the bridge by Bally's.....they have
outdoor escalators and shit outside now.......in 1989 or there
abouts I DROVE down Fulton Street.......that may not be
possible for a minute now.......you know how Walt Disney
makes new shit look old???well what is fuckin trippy to me is
that on the Fulton Experience you see the REAL Deal. I mean
the actual decades old facades of Vegas but NOT cleaned
up.....at all grimy and gettin'.................grimier........don't do the
time if you can't do the grime...and yet it is framed by shiny
new metal....it is real weird.................and it is supposed to be
for families.......uh...........when I was a kid.........I always tried to
sneak a peak......now you just look up at the
ceiling.............queue the music............"this is the town for the
broken hearted .....whaa whaaa whhhaaaaa whaaaaa" by that
singer from Jersey, Johnathan Bon Jovee.......
THE DOUBLE DOWN SALOON was our home every night
in Vegas.....no other place to go really.....Britney was resting her ass so...........Friday we were all blown away by The Dirty Panties......we knew we were home.....though far away from home......we played Saturday night....and earned our Ass Juice..... Crazy Mary got the good sized crowd loose and rockin' then Frank Wood joined us on stage. At that moment something happened .....nobody who was there could really describe it........but time did not stand still it hit rewind
adjusted time..........Frankie somehow changed his last name for a moment........it was not Wood .......even more good......it was Sin fuckin NOT Ra!!!! Sinatra City Baybe.......The women and some men were pelting him with pettioats.....I had to dodge a few Hanes man........not cool.........but when Frankie sings..................it mean Violins......and like Edgar always sez....the best things in life leave us sweating.............. Double Down Saloon is the Otto's of Vegas.....the place to be........the IN crowd..........init? The C B G Beez of the west. A place that feels real in a place that ain't.
And this is what actually happened in Vegas but did NOT stay in VEGAS.......more real
stories will be told in about seven years...maybe.
