Cubicle, Music, Cubicle, FLASH, Cubicle, Sleep

That’s been the sick cycle of my summer. So much so that I decided to take off from that 9-5 grind to head to Virginia Beach with some friends. 5 guys on a 5 hour road trip. Insert the gay/bromantic jokes here.

Peabodys – A glorified version of Hooters. Minus the wings. Plus beer pong. We entered the place amidst a dodgeball tournament. Rubber balls, beer bellies, and half-naked women ran rampant.

We embarked on playing a few games of pong, which wound up being the default activity for the entire weekend. Alan got a suck&blow shoot from a bikini clad woman who looked like a guido Olsen Twin. And our server was wearing a fruit-roll-up-two-piece....Skank never tasted so good.

Ocean Front – Despite all the sun burnt tourists and henna tattoos, Atlantic Ave was pretty lively, due in part to the local entertainment. The street was filled with bands, magicians, and even Jesus freaks.

The highlight of the… street was singer/songwriter Kayce, who sang covers of Ben Folds and Death Cab. Her cover of “Still Fighting It” was orgasmic. God bless the female singer/songwriter genre.

Mt. Trashmore – We decided to visit the park on the hottest day ever, which got its name from the trash and clean soil the park was made from. Worked on Alan’s new songs “This Once”, and “Paralyze” with Buddha spitting some verses. I guess music does take you to new heights. (cheap pun intended). Videos coming soon.

The Jewish Mother – Much thanks to Berto for the heads up. We entered to find a Ska-sounding, Hollister-looking band playing on stage to a full-house. The teenage musk and loud bass amps were reminiscent of late Jersey spots like Hamilton St or Bloomfield Ave. The scene sure ain’t what it used to be.

Croatan Beach – Coined by Khloe as “the locals beach”, Croatan Beach was the highlight of the trip. Although we didn’t stay too long (and butchered the name to no end) the beach alone beat any beach on the Jersey shore. (Yes, I’m selling out). Warm water, warmer sand. And no belligerence, which is a common element at most Jersey beaches. A big thanks goes to Khloe for the directions and hospitality

All in all, the VA treated us well. A new meaning to southern comfort.
