About Me

The old brick pub had old car grills and old bicycles on the walls and reminded them of Florida. The vibe was so different from Hollywood, and the locals enjoy the music and beer without needing to pay a cover, which is good since the musicians never get paid anyway. The people were different too. Most of the girls wore fishnet tights and several wore lingerie and thigh-high boots. And the guys noticed that the music was raw. I was quiet tonight, but felt calm and happy. I always feel a little bad for others when I am more introverted, but I do like it better. MyGen Profile Generator

Seattle

Seattle is a most amazing city, with a dashingly good cup of coffee around every corner, and a clean crisp smell in the air. Slightly drizzling on and off for the weekend we spent the first few hours ...

Almost done
