Not Impressed with Tattoo Rock Parlour

Last week on Wednesday I went to  Tattoo Rock Parlour to interview These Kids Wear Crowns. I wasn't carrying my ID with me, I'm 28, why should I have to carry my ID around?

Apparently it was all ages night. I forgot that These Kids Wear Crowns cater to an extremely young crowd of 8 year olds. So I was allowed in, but wasn't granted a drinking band. Thankfully I thought ahead and had made a khalua coffee for the TTC ride down, so I wasn't in dire need of a drinky.

But once I got in there, I couldn't find the band and they weren't responding to texts or calls. I wandered around and found their hang out by the bathrooms. At the curtain was a relatively short and stocky goomba who denied my entry. He refused to go tell the band I was there and ignored my questions. So I yelled beyond the curtain to the band.

The bouncer pulled the curtain closed and pressed his chest up against my shoulder. 'Why are you being so obnoxious?" He said. I pulled the curtain open and yelled to the band again. One guy came up to me this time and finally recognised me.

Apparently they forgot about the interview. I was not impressed.

Thankfully I had made alternate plans earlier that week to meet up with Steve, who I hadn't seen in 7 years. He found my online dating profile and suggested we meet up.

Is it weird that 7 years later a person can look exactly the same?

He said I looked the same - in a good way! And I found it quite flattering. We went across the street to La Palette and shared some bubbly. A bust of an evening turned out to be one of the most special.

  2. We only had two drinks each and didn't eat, so I have no idea what the menu is like... But I love the ambiance there!~
