The newest Twilight adventure

it was grey wetish and cool right from the start

the smell of futility was in the air

but i mentioned before

this twilight thing

it's a pretty big deal

sacrifices must be made

so the bre and i and a couple of her friends

(originally 6 wanted to come only 3 were allowed)

headed for the city

(again)

i drop the kids at the much music

6 hours before event time

where they huddled on the street beneath tarps

with hundreds of other fans

optimistic

smiling

warmish

-

i went foraging for parking

and urban culture

then i got hungry

had a burger and a beer

at the black bull

a bar

established on queen street since 18 hundred something

and that's where the old lower canada charm ends

the place is really no big deal

just old

breanna called and when i got back to them

spirits were fading

the faces had changed

the cool dampness was setting in

and misery was flirting her flirty flirt

then the much music people took the tarps away

and it got quite a bit colder

even hot chocolate couldn't save the day

almost four hours in

we were homeward bound

that last two hours

promised to be far too unpleasant for them

and a consensus was reached

at home

we turned up the heat - ordered pizza - and watched it all on tv
