6 Minutes to Midnight...

Eleven:54 [MySpace] plays at the bar The Horse You Came In On in Fells Point every Sunday night. No cover, cheap drinks. Sara is friends with the band members (even drove their van on a tour to North Carolina some time ago).
So last night after a few hours of playing Rock Band, ~11:54pm she & I arrived there. Spencer met us there even later.

Eleven:54 is awesome; a very fun band. Sara gave me their CD last Spring/Summer and it's one in which every song on the album is great, no filler. I was hooked after hearing just one song: Rebound Girl (which you can hear on their MySpace page). >:-]
I distinctly remember Spencer & I playing Super Smash Bros Wii on his bed and Sara had her laptop out on the bed going thru her music collection to preview bands she thought I [we] would like, and just knew Rebound Girl would hook me on to Eleven:54 -- and she was right.
And they do great covers of songs we know, 90's rock stuff. And they'll start a song, bridge into another, bridge into another, bridge into a another, then blend back into the song they started. Genius. =)


And who was also at The Horse last night? ZEB!!
I don't have old friends I grew up with that I run into from time to time; I grew up in NY ~250 miles from Baltimore. So running into a high school friend (Maryland), especially an awesome one like Zeb, is very special for me. That's twice in one year, Zeb. =)
He said he had run into an ex of mine the other night, which just adds to the coincidences... as I haven't seen her in like 8-10 years. (And it feels really weird to put such a "large" number to that.) o_O
And with asking me how my sister is, and if I was still dating someone from a while ago, & such Qs I realized: Zeb could be my historian. ;P

Also, I have Pocky. ^_^


I've been in this rut for so long I got sick / Waiting a lifetime for moments like this / Moments that make me think back to the days / Days when I'm drinkin' and wastin' away!
I'll be here in the mean time / I'll be here in the mean time / I'll be here in the mean time.
Folks always ask what in my life I'd change / If I had it again I wouldn't change anything!
[Eleven:54, Mean Time]
