What'd ya do? - during the blackout

[Gooch]

i left work, went straight to bar with brothers and some other co-workers, drank one drink, and then reconsidered on getting drunk in such heat, not knowing what was next, and lacking cash. My cousin dropped by and we went to her apartment down on 17th street, bought vodka, some food, and partied at her place with 6 other people on her building's roof, in candlelight, seeing the stars in the night sky, the dark city all around, and the helicopters going to and fro...smoked alot of pot, and had a great evening. Slept very little...but oh well. Next morning, someone actually drove into the city (no traffic whatsoever) and brought us out to LI, where electricity was already on.

Interesting experience.
