New neighborhood tidbit (2 of 3): Pizza.

Last weekend I went to a warehouse loft that young 20-somethings had converted into tent-living spaces and then part of it into a lounge/performance space, which is where my one [white] friend from Mississippi got invited to perform last time at hipster karaoke after one of the residents heard him sing his song there...

(These lofts seem everywhere... I had been to one last Halloween after singing at hipster karaoke, this drugged-out old white punk guy had invited me - he had been invited by his roommate's girlfriend, and so we hopped a cab to the Latin part of town and then went down this hallway and up this staircase into this room packed with young hipster 20somethings, all of them on drugs... There was this giant-upside pentagram on the wall that had the five sections of the wall painted different colors and then in caps in the different sections the words PISS SHIT FUCK CUM and then something else I can't remember, and also there was this giant pink birthday cake at least ten feet tall made out of cardboard, and there were cartoon skulls painted on it, and there was Asian hipster girl in a torn-up wedding dress with a see-through umbrella that had day-glo strips down the spines, and she held it over the heads of this dude she was making out with forever, and also there was a bowl of 'jungle juice' that had Everclear in it, and at the end of the night I ended up on the side of the room where the kitchen was set up eating some hipter's box of Teddy Grahams I had stolen off the pantry shelf, and when I got a red solo cup and went to get some water from the sink - it was one of those industrial sinks that are really deep and have two sides to them - I had to turn the spigot over to the lefthand side before turning it on, since this Asian hipster kid had his head down in the right side and kept vomiting into it...)

Anyhow, the crowd was young, and it was kind of boring, though cans of beer were a dollar. My friend and I sat on this couch they had out and chatted a bit before the show started up - he was 3rd to perform - and for lack of something to talk about, I started telling him about Linda Lovelace's memoirs, and how her boyfriend had her get fucked by a dog to degrade her.

"You ever see a dog fuck a pig?", my friend was like.

After a few moments, I was like, "No."

Then, I was like, "Why?".

"Oh, back on the farm I used to see that," he was like, and he told me how they had this one female pig in a cage, and next to it they had a pen where they caged the dog sometimes, and the wire fence had this bigger hole at one point, and one time he came in and the pig was backed up to the hole and the dog was there, fucking it.

And then, after a moment, he was like, "And you know the pig wanted it, too, because all it could have done was move away from the hole, and the dog couldn't have done anything about it."

Then, he said that he would find the pig and dog fucking not every time he went into the barn, but often enough.

Anyhow, after a bit of the music that night, I started getting tired and went to bike home - my friend stayed since he had another set coming up, and other friends of his were due to arrive any time - and when I got home, I was hungry, so I went to the 2am pizza place across from my house (it was like twelve-thirty then).

In there was this really fat (black) guy with "LORENZO" shaved on the side of his head, and this really fat (light-skinned black) woman, and they ordered like 2 pizzas for them both, and then left to go do something else while the pizza was being made.

I went to the register to get a cheese slice, and this lower-class (white) woman took my order, and while she went in back to get the pizza, I look at the register, and there's a picture of some young kid in a toy rolly-car, and they have the sign above it "OUR FAVORITE DELIVERER".

Then, as she brings me the pizza, the kid toddles out with her.

Before I leave, this Polish couple in their mid-20s comes in, both blonde - he's like 5'6" and has a short beard and is wearing a brown sportscoat, and she is taller than him, really really fat, and has too much makeup on, as well as a short turquoise skirt and black fishnet stockings.
