Downtown Owl

So, I'm back from Los Angeles! Had a grand time with the younger brother at Detour Fest in downtown LA. We got there around 3ish and stayed until 11:30. It was an exhausting day.

got to see:
Datarock = terrible
The Submarines = pretty good actually
The Black Lips = i dug them...one of the guitarist puked 4 times on stage.
Gogol Bordelo = fucking awesome
Peanut Butter Wolf = awesome as always
The Mars Volta = thumbs up. played for 2.5 hours. it was great!

got home around 1:30am after a late night snack at Albertacos where i got some carne asada fries.

Woke up at 8am to leave for the airport at 9am.

Got to airport at 10am...had 35 minutes to spare before boarding...decided to break out Downtown Owl while i wait.

I was so enthralled in this book (or maybe it was the loud group of 20 traveling Asians distracting me from hearing the boarding announcement) I ended up missing my flight...fuck i'm a dumbass...i was then put on standby for a 2:15pm flight...kept reading Downtown Owl...

Got a good chuckle during my 3 hour wait. There was a group of high school students in uniform. i think they played water polo...I’m not sure. the coach of this team was a real dud. just kind of oddly shaped and blundering. i overheard him trying to tell his students jokes and they kind of just looked away embarrassed and ashamed.

After a little bit of observing their interactions, a MILF comes into the lobby area with a puppy. i take a peak and my eye's go stright to the coach. He's checking her out. you can see him calculating what he thinks her age should be...round 35 from the looks of it.

He walks up and asks he can pet the pup. She agrees. After a few seconds of head patting and scratching, the MILF asks him where he's going. he said something inturrupted by the PA system but here response was golden.

"My fiancé grew up there."

oof! She let it be known in a hurry that she was engaged...

After two lines of small talk, the coach mopes back to his kids dejected.

Funny to me...i guess you had to be there.

Anyways, boarded flight

ended up finishing Downtown Owl as we landed...overall, good book. Fast read, funny, characters were memorable, etc...
