I was walking home from a Ground Kontrol night, around 2 am, when this cute skater guy passed me on Burnside bridge. I smiled at him and he turned around to talk to me. After a few minutes he asks me if I would have a drink with him. I laughed and recall being totally stumped and thinking 'ummmmm'. But I said, "well I think everything is closed..?" Without missing a beat he replied "Plaid's open!"
For those un-indoctrinated, Plaid Pantry is like a 7-11, and well known for people hanging around outside smoking weed or drinking in the bushes. So immediately all sorts of things are flashing thru my mid. Sketchy. Gross. No way am I drinking beer in the bushes with this guy. No way am I drinking beer by the river with this guy. So I said, "no, I need to get home, I'm pretty tired." Smile smile smile. He tried to convince me but I decided it was more likely he wanted to mug me and dump my body in the river.
Three blocks later I was kicking myself.
