It was dark. It was moody. It was in a "bad part of town".
The funny thing is that when I went there I never drank coffee. I think I drank tea a few times. I wasn't into the whole hot caffinated drink phase yet.
But it was cool to hang out and people watch. EMO people before "EMO" was a thing. Druggies. Preps. Then us. I have no idea what we were. My friend was super smart, beautiful, blonde, and exploring. Me, not so much.
I remember on one occassion talking to these guys, there must have been like 4 of them, and then going to their house boat. My friend ended up making out with one of them under a blanket. I'm pretty sure there was weed but I'm pretty sure I didn't smoke it. I'm pretty sure I'm lucky we didn't get raped, murdered and thrown into the river.
Definitely the young and dumb days.
Sorry, I can't relate. Coffee houses were known as Truck Stops and Emos were just freaks when I grew up. Apparently, we have a huge cultural difference. (because I refuse to say age difference)
