After the excitement with Keaton and the dude who decided to play fight the bouncer, Carter and his friends drank up at last call and left me to order a last beer from Dani. The Germans had all seemed nice, although the attack dog you had to say ‘Sie’ to was kinda creepy. After the … Continue reading Another Saturday Night at the Volcano (last part)

Another Saturday Night at the Volcano (part 2)
It was a cool night last Saturday when I went to the Volcano to meet Carter Andrews and some friends of his from business school. Keaton was stationed outside, and was wearing his leather jacket over his usual black tshirt. I didn’t say anything then, but I thought I detected a bulge under his left … Continue reading Another Saturday Night at the Volcano (part 2)
Another Saturday Night at the Volcano (part 1)
It’s been a long time since I’ve told y’all anything about the good ole Volcano. But I went last Saturday night and it was almost like the ‘old days’ – i.e. before COVID. Yes: Keaton still has his job there, even if he’s driving for Amazon too. I asked him about why he still works … Continue reading Another Saturday Night at the Volcano (part 1)
The Infield Goes Out (last part)
It was about 1:30 the night the Volcano reopened after COVID, not too long before last call, when a nice chill evening got less chill, and for once the trouble didn’t have anything to do with Carter. But there was a disturbance at the far end of the patio from where we were sitting, and … Continue reading The Infield Goes Out (last part)
The Infield Goes Out (part 2)
When we got to Old Town following dinner, the vibe was pretty dang weird. I didn’t know if there was gonna be a whole bunch of people and lines to get into the bars, or whether the place would be deserted still from people used to the lockdown. It was more the second. We could … Continue reading The Infield Goes Out (part 2)
The Infield Goes Out (part 1)
Most of the Parrots were finally able to get together last Saturday night, and, by ‘together’ I mean together in the same room. Two rooms, in fact: first we had dinner at Mi Casita, then we headed to Old Town for the grand reopening of the Volcano. (Keaton explained that they could have opened as … Continue reading The Infield Goes Out (part 1)
The Bars Close Again
I’ve told y’all that I didn’t think Keaton was going to give up his part-time job with Amazon when the bars opened up and he could get his old job at the Volcano back. He didn’t. And it’s a good thing, too. He, Miguel and Dani were all in their usual positions when the Volcano … Continue reading The Bars Close Again
Guys Night Out with Meatballs (part 2)
Me, Josh, his best friend Dylan and Sloppy Joe were having a guys night out this past Saturday. We started off with a huge dinner at Buca, then hit the super chill cigar lounge across the street. Sloppy Joe had a midnight curfew from his new girlfriend, so that left just me, Josh and Dylan. … Continue reading Guys Night Out with Meatballs (part 2)
Guy’s Night Out (last part)
Early Sunday morning, when we were leaving the bar where Keaton works, some jerkoff picked a fight with him…and ended up getting knocked out with a busted nose. Instead of leaving him there in totally deserted Old Town, me and Keaton got the dude into Keaton’s truck to drive him to the ER at Huntington … Continue reading Guy’s Night Out (last part)
