I finally got to cross a classic hip-hop group off of my list that I didn’t think I’d get the chance to see last night– A Tribe Called Quest performed at the Fillmore Auditorium. We also ended-up with VIP seating and drink tickets, so we had a great view of the show away from most of the jackasses that typically ruin experiences– awesome! Rhymefest and The Procussions also opened who were both pretty decent, though it was kind of lame that The Procussions weren’t traveling with their drums(!). As usual, I bumped into several people I knew through-out the night– Denver is a small place (not that I think it’s a bad thing).
I don’t regularly post about when I go out, but I think the following experience warrants a post. After the concert we grabbed a few drinks in Uptown, then did a classic post-drinking breakfast at Pete’s Kitchen. Pete’s was busy as usual and we ended-up taking seats at the counter. Shortly after we got there a guy in his mid 60′s sat down by us and proceeded to give the conversation of a lifetime. Essentially he was a single wealthy guy who grew-up in that area, and hadn’t had to work in twenty years because of financial windfall. Some of the quotes include:
“I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to the late 60′s with my money, some extacsy, and some viagra!”
“It was great back then, anything you could catch from a girl could be cleared up by a shot.”
“I used to have a Jaguar back then that only cost $5000…. girls would always ask to go for a ride in it. Eventually my first question was ‘do you give head?’”
“… I once got 4 blow jobs in one day in that car”
“My son only needs an Audi to get laid”
“My son set me up with a computer, and I don’t do much with it other than surf the internet for porn”
“I’m going to vote for gay marriage to piss people off. I think they have it good right now because they don’t actually have to get married because of what all of us straight people have done to fuck-up marriage”
“I went to Rocky Horror Picture Show once just to be entertained by all of the people there. I was way too old to be there, but I just took some Scotch and took two shots each time everyone else smoked a joint”
He had us rolling. He was obviously a bit off of his rocker, but you could tell he’s lived an awesome life and spoke fairly eloquently yet vulgulary funny. Especially to be his age and out eating breakfast at 1 in the morning. I hope I have a life half as fun as his. It was definately a good way to close a great night.
Good times.
