So my first night out in the big city and I don't get home until 3am

I ended up going to the Smiths/Morrissey tribute/Happy Birthday Morrissey show at the Middle East. I went alone as usual and felt a bit awkward but you do what you gotta do to do what you wanna do. The show didn't start until pretty late and I hadn't eaten all day and I was going to eat at the Middle East but they had no open seats at the bar so I ended up eating at Wendy's. I went back to the Middle East and got my ticket and went in before even the first opening act went on. Started drinking Coronas and the rest is history. This guy at the bar, also alone, started talking to me and he was a big Morrissey fan and he was pretty nice and interesting and I was alone and it's better to talk to someone than just stand there so I entertained him. He left me to go stand in front of the first band, Blacklist, they were actually really good but no one was there to appreciate them. The guy, his name is Jimmy, came back to talk to me and we continued to talk through the second band. I guess I was more entertaining this time than the band. He bought me a drink eventually and then the tribute band came on. I followed him out in front of the band, though I learned later that he would have stood closer if it wasn't for me but since he got to be w/ me he didn't mind standing a bit further away. The tribute band, Sweet and Tender Hooligans were great! especially if you're that hard up for Morrissey, people were acting like he was Morrissey, touching him and going onstage and grabbing him and all. And yes he was a HOT Morrissey look-a-like and his name was Jose, I'd do him in a split second if he sang 'Jack the Ripper' to me but anyway at one point I left to pee and told Jimmy to save my spot but when I went back I somehow ended up closer and he didn't see me though I tried to be polite and get his attention to come closer. Anyway towards the end of the night I noticed he was now in front of me and I tapped him on the back and he said he waited for me for 4 songs but thought I ditched him. He ended up going closer and reaching out and touching the fake Morrissey's hand. I have to say it is a bit creepy to be w/ a guy that's more interested in touching a fake Morrissey than you, or so it seemed at the time. After the show we hung out a little more and he bought me a soda. He's very talkative. He said he might go see them tomorrow night in NYC which I thought sounded fun and then he said unless I said I'd rather do something else w/ him like a movie or dinner or something, then he'd rather do that than go to the show. I wasn't going to offer that. I thought he should go to the show. Eventuallly he asked if I'd want to go and I said I would be I wasn't sure if I could go because of my living situation w/ Cleo freaking out and stuff when I left. I said it depended on how she was and what my roommates said. I know it sounds a bit crazy to do w/ someone that you've just met and aren't that crazy about but really I'm so desperate for some fun and I had some tonite and he seems like fun even though I'm kinda just using him for some fun and would rather be boinking the fake Morrissey but what the hell. If I get to NYC I can get Diana to meet us too.
