A place where rock doesn’t need amplification

Roommates Mark and Liz are planning a party of sorts for this Saturday night at the House of Rock. For those that don’t know me, i’m not a huge partier. Being a member of the non-drinking social club, I don’t find the same enjoyment as others in events planned around alcohol consumption. My scene is much more the double dutch, making dinner, rock climbing sort of scene. Furthermore, I think I’m much more of a ‘small group’ person than a ‘big group’ person. I’d rather share some quality chat time with one or two persons than mix and mingle mini-conversations with lots of people.

And while I’d hate to be seen as a downer for skipping out on a social gathering, I’ve been considering planning an escape. A sabbatical from the hustle and bustle of the House of Rock to somewhere serene where rock doesn’t need amplification. I like the sound of that. A place where rock doesn’t need amplification.

It’s more likely however, that I’ll be at the party. Maybe playing DDR and drinking Orange Juice spiked with Pineapple or Cranberry. I suppose I could always retreat to my room with an acoustic and some Journey if a sensory overload is immanent.

    Definition Checker – imminent is the correct word you want.

    Hey man, you’re free to come up to Harbor Ave for the day, we can work on the truck or something, all without the sauce.

    I’d like to point out how Kurt’s mild attempt at sounding like the fat hasn’t begun to consume his brain falls short, due to his inability to differentiate between a definition and spelling mistake.

    Not being a big party goer myself I would defnitely not stick around for the party.

    The more you write, Mike D, I feel like I’m a minor-league version of you living in the opposite upper corner of the USA.

    Except for the Journey bit.

    And replace the rock climbing for orienteering.

    I’m with you, Mike D. As a fellow member of the non-drinking social club, I know exactly where you are coming from.

    It’s funny how a party at my place can differ from a party anywhere else…
