I tried to order food around 11 but it was too late. Someone sent me to the only bar in town, only place still open
1/
I sat at the bar by an older gentleman dressed as Santa Clause. Not exactly, though, like Santa in street clothes- see above.
2/
Quite a racket, too. Cabs are illegal after midnight, bars close at 1, when this guy is the only game in town.🤑
3/
He doesn't drink, says he did plenty of partying in the 70's when he drove the tour bus for his cousin's band
STOP ME IF YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING
4/
So he told me about the band. When he was a kid his cousin came to visit one summer. Oday introduced him to his best friends, two brothers, and the three of them started a band. (Oday wasn't musical, see aforementioned tour bus.)
5/
So every night after that I would get him to drive me home (being responsible🍻) and I would just ride around with him asking questions.
6/
It's hard to stay in touch, he doesn't have email, but I'm gonna text him this picture tomorrow and say hi
