Lucubration Station

Last weekend had potential for greatness but turned out pretty mediocre.

The friday night highlight was a narrow run in with train security. Running late for a train we hit the platform as it pulled in and zac convinced us just to jump on and get tickets at a later station. Once on board Zac realised he had a ticket from earlier in the day and laughed maniacally.

Geordie and I debated what to do and decided to get off at the last stop where you can purchase tickets on the platform, and then wait for the next one or try and hop back on. However once we hit the station one before that we saw inspectors getting on and decided to hastily get off.

There we were greated with a sea of inspectors giving people fines.

So we tried to continue on with our initial plan and headed for the ticket machine

No luck, they had locked them.

Over at the exit ramp a group of girls tried to do a runner. I gather that two of them got away but the third they grabbed and threw to the ground.

As far as I knew train security guards cant actually assault people. I thought only police could forcibly restrain people? Am I wrong there?

So she was on the ground screaming, and one of her friends came back and was screaming "let her go your hurting her"

and a passenger on the train started yelling "You cant do that! let her go"so then they kicked him OFF the train for protesting.

While all that drama was unraveling we realised that all the inspectors had run up to help and had left the other exit unattended. We made a sneaky hurried exit.

Thanked our lucky stars for the distraction and went to catch the bus.

Saturday night Id decided to go see my brothers friends EP launch. They are pretty funky and are really taking off. However due to their recent popularity it hadn't even occurred to me that the show would have sold out. There was one VIP pass available so we decided Poodlehead should take it, and Nickelbot and myself would meet the gang at the after party being held at a club in the city.
However when it came time for the two of us to hop a train to the city we had consumed a lot of alcohol and Nikki was beyond her limit. Sitting at the station (tickets in hand) we told a man there about the worst girl in the world. He got to hear stories and even see a camera phone image. Now he is well prepared to run away at first sight of the worst girl. He promises he will.
Nikki jumped off the train and caught another one home.
So I continued my journey alone. I knew the boys wouldnt be at the club for at least another hour but I decided to take my chances on just knowing someone there already. Brisbane is small and incestuous I decided my chances were pretty high and if I had no luck G-dawg was at another club right next door and I could go join him.
I didnt know anyone
Geordie had left before Id even arrived
So I got a drink and sat down
where I waited
and I waited
I got up and danced a few times but felt a bit too awkward up there on my own.
So I went back to my spot
I found someone else waiting for their friends and we joined forces. I proceeded to interrogate him about every subject that popped into my head, the poor dear looked incredibly uncomfortable but it helped me pass the TWO AND A HALF HOURS. We made plans for his rockstar career. He will work hard for a few years till he gets some kind of lucky break and makes it big. Then he will fake his own death thereby cementing his fame and making his music more valuable. He can go live in the woods somewhere, posthumusly releasing "secret recordings"and living it up in solitude.

When the boys finally showed up I was almost deleriously bored and drunk and annoyed.
Things picked up and I thouroughly enjoyed myself until it was home time.
Worth the wait, luckily.
