I am so glad that one of my coworkers is at Dunn Brothers tonight. Now I am not the only witness to the batshit-crazy going on the corner.
There is a bloated, 15-person group in the corner which looks like a book club. Tonight’s theme is “outsiders and specialness” and the conversation contains such gems as:
Middle Aged Lady: “Can I tell you guys something? When I was young I thought I was special. I thought was really special! I thought I was so special that I thought I would have a virgin birth! And it has taken me 55 years to realize I AM NOT SPECIAL. I AM NOT SPECIAL AT ALL!”
Let this be a warning: if you have a crazy group discussion in a coffeeshop during late April it will be documented by a snide procrastinating law student. I promise.
Update: “Wild-eyed long-hair guy” seated next to our Wilting-Madonna caught me laughing at the group discussion. Eek! Time to meet up with Judd at the Bad Waitress before I get stoned by the “Special Mob.”

February 22, 2012 at 11:45 pmOH MY GOSH! I remember that conversation! I wanted to bust out laughing so hard when she said that. It was years ago, but I was pretty sure it was some of the craziest stuff I had ever heard… and at this point I had been going to this Socrates Cafe for several months. There were some great conversations, but holy cow, you’d get a lot of crazy-nonsense-out-of-nowhere talk too. Pretty sure she doesn’t attend anymore. As far as the dynamic of the current group. I don’t know. I moved.
