Chasing the Blueberry Dragon

After numerous votes from among the framilies, Foxy is the clear winner. She got to meet the DL folks last night, and had a lovely time. The Director showed as well, and immediately began to help plan our next pub crawl, scheduled post-election. We’ll either celebrate or drown our sorrows, but dammit we’re gonna drink! The rugby team rolled in at the end of our evening, and I think they may have felt a tad neglected. I did speak, though, so they can’t hold that against me.

Foxy and The Director and I rolled on up the street to Hookah Joe’s, which perhaps should not be as perplexing as it is. They have 50 different flavors, but there is no menu card. When you ask the hookah man what he has, he just says “50 different flavors.” This isn’t very helpful. The Director was frantically calling people to join us, so that she would feel less like she had intruded upon our date. She hadn’t intruded upon our date, she was in fact a welcome addition, cause she’s fun, but I understand that awkward feeling, since I’ve had it pretty much constantly for the last year and a half.

My throat hurts today, and I think it is because a hookah is better shared amongst 6 people than 3. Especially when one person leaves early and there are just two of you sitting on a couch. And by “sitting on a couch” I mean wishing you weren’t In Public.

K, an update - go here for my flickr Asheville Vaudevilel set

aww, bummer - i think i saw foxy last night but i didn’t i actually got to meet her all formal-like; i was a little anti-social at one point, sitting in the corner doing some last-minute video editing… perhaps next time.

yeah, and hookah joe’s has a daunting flavor selection; fortunately, every time i’ve ever been in there i was with someone who knew the menu. plus, the… i dunno what you call the guy who loads the pipes, like a wine steward for flavored tobacco, i guess. he’s been pretty spot on with his recommendations so far.

i highly recommend the pistachio flavored hookah…good stuff. gave me a wicked buzz, too.

I am glad you decided to stop by Hookah Joe’s and I am sorry if you felt the selection of flavors was a bit to much. I will be trimming some of the flavors that are close in taste. I am sure that who ever help you didn’t just say “50 different flavors.” and then walked away. Between myself and the other Hookah Man we always help customers decide on a good flavor to smoke.

He didn’t walk away, but he did just stand there and look at me as if I was expected to come up with something on my own.
