Cafe

Remember when so much time was spent in coffee houses? Rogers Park especially - Panini panini (sp), Cinema Cafe, and Enuiu. Well, Enuiu is closed (horrible, me viewing that place as an historical place. Again: this is here we swan/walked/hunted/take a souvinier.), Jinx in Wicker Ark is gone (as well as that really famous one - that whareouse place on North Ave just East of the Big Intersection ((North/Milwaukee/Damen)) ).

However, some still exist. Lovely Andersonville still rocks Kopi on Clark. Jacob and I went to Kopi last week to kill a few hours. These days we be poor - if it was 3m ago, I'd spring for the bill, make sure we ate there, and we w/out any cares. These days? Before we went to kopi, we stopped @ Mac D's so we could line our stomachs first w. a $1 Mcdouble. Made Jacob pay the $1 for hisown. These days I have to watch my cash.

Into Kopi we went. Kopi was always kool - but also tilted a bittine the gay way. (Andersonville's a little gay). However, tonnes of chixx also frequented the place - which means The Eternal Chase after Women has some purpose in going into pansexual places such as Kopi. But - knowing the gay past of the place - we were thinking - "It'll just be a slew of guys, and no chix to rapp w." However, it wasn't - were chix there, tho' we didnt talk.

Instead what happened was that I played guitar the whole time. Wasnt sure it would be kool, but then jacob paraphrased "Dude, it's a cafe, and it's a koolone at that - they'll tell you to stop." He wa srite. Played quiet, played joyfully, wasn't obnoxious (rither of us), left a tip, want to go back again - w. th guitar. Was fun, and reinded me of being - again - 20. Was kool. Forgot how enjoyable. Plus .... chix are about.
