We got together after work today with Steve and Crystal.
We went to this awesome barbecue place where we had a feast for the low low price of $5. AFter that we wandered around aimlessly for a while before settling on walking in the direction of a starbucks.
We were walking and talking and reminiscing and planning when we noticed a guitar sitting on the ground next to a garbage bag leaning against a tree. It appeared to be abandoned with the trash, so we took a look.
It was pretty shitty, and only had two strings, although it did have two halves of what was once one string. I was going to just leave it there, but Steve reminded me of how often you actually get to smash a guitar. Noting the logic, I threw it over my shoulder.
So then the hunt was on to find appropriate means of destroying the guitar. We were on the lookout for a T-money stop. I'm here for two weeks, so it makes sense to get one of the T-money cards, which can be used to pay for subway and bus rides. So that was a good opportunity to let the guitar body get caught by the closing doors as we walked into convenience stores. Then there was the telephone poles that it was smashed into as I excitedly looked around at the big city sights.
We must have done it for about half an hour, and then we finally arrived at Steve's apartment area. We sat for a while tryign to decide the final fate of the guitar, and it ruined the moment. There was too much pressure to make a great scene with it.
We settled on taking it into the front of the building and running with it so that it slammed into things as we ran by.
Seriously, you can't understand how much fun it was. It was unnatural.
