Returned from Crashing TAM 7

Category: Social Events
Posted on: July 13, 2009 7:22 AM, by Blake Stacey

Have greeted several old acquaintances, extended well-wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Watson, shed copies of tawdry sensationalist murder mystery, discussed déjà vu with Amanda Marcotte at least once and perhaps again. Currently hacking up the stale air of the casino; expect to continue same for at least a day, as in Vegas, tobacco additives take the place of nitrogen, and the miasma of billions of burnt cigarettes smoked by burnt-out tourists seeps into everything like the disease-inducing rot imagined by some pre-germ-theory physician.

Visiting that city again? Never will be too soon.

The prompt arrival of bag, bus and two subway trains has prompted some primitive attribution-of-agency circuit in my brain to believe that Boston is welcoming me back.

Thank you. You're the first person to make me feel better about not going.

Well ...

that was unexpected.

Sounds like the miasma has gone to your brain, too.

My lungs are still full of tobacco smoke. Cough, cough. Ew.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except when you carry it out in your alveoli.
