I walked up to the Euclid Tavern and noticed a huge pink fluorescent sign displaying the word liquor above the doorway. I opened the graffiti covered door and was immediately overwhelmed with the stench of cheep beer and cigarette smoke. I looked to the right of me and noticed an enormous bar, stretching about 100 feet with people crowded around every stool. Directly in front of me was a long hallway that led to an uncontrollable mass of people. To my left was a stage with a very loud band performing. All that I could hear was the constant throbbing of bass and drums.
This very unpleasant sound was drowning out every other sound of the band which annoys me anyway. To top it all off, the band playing was horrible. What I could make out of the lyrics was very meaningless and juvenile. The guitar part was not demanding at all. And the bass and drums were incredibly too loud. I ventured through the uncontrollable mass of people to discover what was at the end of the hallway. After working my way though the chaos I discovered a nearly empty room with two pool tables, a couch, and a bunch of chairs. I began to shoot pool when I heard someone cream my name. I turned around and it was my friend who happens to be the drummer for the next band. I came to see his band so I hung out in the back room with him until he went on.
While I was in the back room, many unusual situations were taking place. First of all There was a half naked couple about to show each other how much they loved each other on the couch. Then I noticed a man that looked as that he was homeless injecting a needle into his arm and shaking subtly. I tried my best to ignore the happenings around me and kept on shooting pool.
