He Had a Gun and a Knife...

So, last night, Jeremy, his friend Mary, Lesley, and I all met up at the Turf Club to see some bands, namely Faux Jean and The Slats (I've been hearing about them around town). The crowd skewed Hipster-ish with a few suburbans and students thrown in. Who knew there would be a dude packing heat at a pretty chill show? Apparently, the word on the street was that the dude got tasered (why, I do not know) and that he was carrying a gun and a knife on him and was escorted out of the club by 4 or 5 of St. Paul's finest. I was definitely jealous that Lesley got a front row seat to the tasering action, cuz, man, do I love that shit. Seriously, I love seeing people wrestled to the ground, handcuffed and drug out to the cop car with a bloody nose, a ripped shirt, and inexplicably missing a shoe. It's better than TV. Anyway, here's a pictorial of the night, sans tasered drunk guy (silently kicking myself for not going to the ladies' room with Lesley):

The Slats...extremely good, lived up to the hype I've heard...


Jeremy's reaction after I told him I peed in his beer...


Lesley is enjoying Faux Jean...


Fuck MySpace...


This guy came alone and was probably the oldest one there...very cool yet kinda nerdy...


Cell Phone Duel to the Death...


I got them at Target...the shoes, not the toes...the toes I got from my parents...


Contain yourselves, ladies, there's enough Jeremy to go around...


I want a light fixture like this in my apartment...


Pinball is for 40 year old single losers...haha, kidding...


I'm trying to be an arty photographer...mission: failed...


More of The Slats...I'm slightly in love with the guy on the right...

13 people who bitched:

The Slats? I've never heard of them, but that name is just a little too close to The Slits--the best band of all time--for me to give them the time of day. Seriously, F minus for band name creativity.

Looks like you guys had fun, though.

I think it's hilarious that I thought you were only taking pics of the bands. TOTALLY unaware of the other pics...

Jeremy said...

Congrats on posting the first pic of the oft mentioned but never seen Mary on any of our blogs. But you should have had one of yourself other than your foot. You were all dolled up and superfoxy n' shit!

I saw a fat girl punch a cop and then get tased in the mall a few weeks ago.

Jeremy said...

Aliecat said...

Lesley- I'm clueless like that!

Jeremy- aww, thanks!

Carl- nope, I'm saving myself for you...

Butchie- How fat? Candy coated or beluga whale?

Jeremy- his boobs are bigger than mine, too...

Butchieboy said...

Extra large. She punched him, because they werwe trying to arrest her for shoplifting. After she was cuffed, they were looking at her loot and one of the things she stole was a pair of jeans with rinestones all over them. They were like 20 sizes too small and the cops were laughing their asses off. (Except the one with an icepack on his bloody nose)

Karah said...

What happens after you get tased? Can you jsut stand up and walk it off, rub some dirt on it?
