Steppin' Out

With the exception of activities that require falling from the sky, every so often I like to step out of my world and into another. Last night my friend Kristian and I went to The Knitting Factory to see the Avant-garde band, Pere Ubu perform. After spending several hours standing in a crowd of men who didn't seem to embrace bathing, after having to endure the warm up band whose female lead singer shouted insults to the lighting guy and flipped off the audience, after having headed home so late on a weeknight that there was no express train running, after riding in a car that was virtually empty therefore making the trip home slightly dangerous, after getting off the train and having three rats scurry across my path... I have to say, I was happy to step out of the world of others and back into my own.
