How you know you spent too many summers at church camp...

This morning, I was picking up my jacket at the dry cleaners, after a nasty accident that involved, well... pouring beer all over myself.  Now, I love my dry cleaners.  They're directly below my apartment, and it's run by this sort of shrewd looking (and acting), tiny Asian woman, and her sort of jolly, fun husband.  They're also sort of crazy

Not the cleaner's on 24th Avenue, down the block from the Beer Garden?

[spacetomatoes]

Haha, no - the one on 30th Avenue and 42nd, across from the Key Foods! PS - I pretty much count the days all winter until the Beer Garden opens again.

Oops, then I do not know them. That's like, the other side of Astoria, lol. No man's land!

The Beer Garden is okay, but it's overrated. Have you ever seen the lines that form before opening? It's absolutely unbelievable.

Lol - I feel the same about your side of Astoria! It's some sort of creepy wasteland that I feel the need to take a gypsy cab to for my infrequent visits...

Hm, I've always enjoyed the beer garden, but I've never been there before it opened. I generally show up pretty late. It has always struck me as the most ridiculous hook-up place ever. Every time we go there, all my friends and I have to beat off these sort of icky guys who just leech themselves on your picnic table. My friends are pretty much all singers, and once this guy would NOT stop following us around begging them to sing for him. Yuck.

But beer is good! As is open sky!!!

I'd love to hear your answer to "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

[spacetomatoes]

Why do any of us feel compulsion to move onward, to progress...

lol.
