Went to see Early Man at the Cheyenne Saloon last friday. There were like six people who stayed for early man – what the fuck is wrong with Las Vgeas? Everybody was there and the place was packed for one of the worst bands I’ve ever seen, but they were also the greatest heckle-fuel ever unintentionally provided by a shitty band (mikey and karo can attest to this for me).
Early Man were great and to the point – no theatrics, no banter, no fuckin around – they just got onstage and lit the shit on fire with rip smash. fucking heavy metal NWOBHM rip smash. just made that up.
So afterwards karoline drove my drunk ass to del taco and whilst doing the whole “i’ll tell you what to order and you order it out the window in to the menu speaker intercom” thing I said something like “two bean and cheese burritos, add rice”.
She repeats that into the menu bullhorn and the kid at the drive thru intercommm replies “sure, why not!”. My drunk ass, of course, was so astute and thought he was just being a dick to the wastoids in the Mercedes at 4 in the morning. Fair enough – I’d be a dick to me too if I had the chance.
So we go home and eat and I didn’t notice anything strange except that the kid at Del Taco said “sure, why not”. The nerve!
The next day at work I felt like fucking shit hell rip smash and cooked my leftover bean and cheese and rice burrito in the back office microwave, only to find that it was stuffed full of crinkle cut french fries.
My first thought was that the kid working at del taco at 4 am was pretty cool for thinking up such a great “fuck you” to me and karo. And then I recounted the dialogue in my head and realized he probably just thought she had said “add FRIES” instead of “add RICE”.
It was great and I’ll only ever order this from now on. I also got a french fry burrito (with rice!) from roberto’s last night.
Long story short: Early Man fucking rip smash and Las Vegas doesn’t turn up for good music as much as I expect of it. And Del Taco is cool about experimental drunk food.
