the smashing pumpkins - 8.14.93 - metro - chicago,il



once upon a time i had a friend that was convinced that i'd stuck his smashing pumpkins THE AEROPLANE FLIES HIGH box set down the front of my pants and walked out of his house with it.

it's 5 discs inside of something that would make a pretty sweet looking lunchbox (in my opinion). it would be the sort of lunchbox that would make you the envy of everyone else in the break room. and there you'd be. just sitting there at the table with your peanut butter and jelly sandwich and your little bag of chips and your yoohoo drink box all spread out in front of you. and of coure you'd be sitting there with your face buried in the ARTS section of the newspaper. that's just who you are. and as you were putting the paper down in order for you to finish up your yoohoo drink box you notice that claire is standing next to your table. you look at her. she looks at you. and for some reason she's wearing thigh-high lace up doc martens and fishnet stockings and a red/black plaid skirt and an iron maiden KILLERS t-shirt and her hair is up in a ponytail. you look at her. she looks at you. and before you can open your mouth to say anything she's in your lap. and all you can manage to get out is "do you want some of my drink bo-" she says "despite all our rage we're all just rats in a cage."

and then you wake up.
you're in your bedroom in your bed with your significant other breathing heavily on the other side.
you look at the clock.
you still have 3 hours before you have to get up.
you're going to have to figure out a way to slip quietly out of bed and into the bathroom so you can change your pajama pants and then back into bed without waking anyone up.
this is the fourth time this week.
you're going to have to say that you weren't able to make it to the bathroom in time.
again.
and then more awkward eye contact.
and then more "maybe we should call a doctor" talk.
why does this keep happening?
if only we were able to get 2 beds.
television shows in the 1950's had it right.
you could eat all of the chips you wanted to in bed.
there could be chip parties.

this is the record release show for the SIAMESE DREAM album.

and here's another fun fact: that same friend accused me of stealing his metallica LIVE SHIT: BINGE & PURGE box set. and this leads me to suspect that he was staring at my crotchal region a little bit. maybe he was thinking about buying me a new pair of pants. who knows. but he never bought me a new pair of pants. friends. who needs 'em? am i right? you wanna go pants shopping sometime?
