    \u201cDon\u2019t you ever think about anything besides sex?\u201d
\n     \u201cSure. I think about violence too!\u201d<\/p>\n

     Miranda laughed and talked to the woman for a few minutes. She asked Miranda to sign a Dynamite Chicks LP. They made their way to the cashier who lent them a sharpie.
\n      The young woman read the inscription. \u201cTo Cassie. Don\u2019t get the clap. Awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt’s always a trip when your friends become parents. When some skater scrub who used to score dope and booze for you is suddenly responsible for an actual tiny human.\u201d<\/p>\n

     The man walked up to her as she let go of her pants, letting them fall down around her ankles. \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter with you?\u201d he barked. \u201cYou can\u2019t desecrate a grave like that!\u201d
\n      \u201cSure I can,\u201d said Gail with a cold voice. \u201cHe desecrated me.\u201d
\n      \u201cWhat are you talking about? I should call the police!\u201d
\n      Gail let her arms drop to her sides and stared back at the man as she felt her eyes go blank.
\n      \u201cFor God\u2019s sake, at least put your pants back on! What\u2019s the matter with you?\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cCan I get a hit a\u2019 that?\u201d he asked as he pointed to the smoldering joint in Roach\u2019s hand.
\n      \u201cGo for it,\u201d said Roach as she handed it over.
\n      \u201cYou sure you wanna get baked before your recording session?\u201d asked Annie.
\n      \u201cJust a couple a\u2019 hits,\u201d he said. \u201cThey won\u2019t notice, will they?\u201d
\n      \u201cWho won\u2019t?\u201d asked Roach.
\n      \u201cY\u2019know, Skye an\u2019 tall n\u2019 scary. What\u2019s her name? Tan-dab-a-seal or somethin\u2019?\u201d
\n      \u201cTandasil,\u201d said Annie. \u201cAnd if you think those ol\u2019 club hags aren\u2019t gonna know you\u2019re stoned, you\u2019re totally kiddin\u2019 yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n

     Tandasil narrowed her eyes at him. \u201cHow are you always able to find me?\u201d
\n     \u201cIt\u2019s that GPS tracker I put in your panties.\u201d
\n      Tandasil tilted her head and gave him her patented raised eyebrow.
\n     \u201cOr it could be that you\u2019re six feet tall with about another two feet of hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cI can\u2019t believe Trilly asked me why I always wear tight pants.\u201d
\n     \u201cWhy not?\u201d
\n     Miranda waved her hands around. \u201cHello! See how wide my hips are? How big my butt is? Any pants I wear are gonna be tight!\u201d
\n     \u201cYou don\u2019t have wide hips, you\u2019ve got curvy hips.\u201d
\n      Miranda looked at Preston with a pointed wince.<\/p>\n

    \u201cShe\u2019s cute,\u201d said Molly.
\n     \u201cCute?\u201d replied Roach with a wince. \u201cShe\u2019s a killer babe. How can you say she\u2019s just cute?\u201d
\n      \u201cMmm\u2026 If she had dyed black hair and a few fucked up tattoos on her forearms she\u2019d be a lot more appealing.\u201d
\n      \u201cDamn girl, they all gotta be sketchy punks for you to be attracted to \u2018em?\u201d
\n      \u201cPretty much, yeah!\u201d said Molly as she straightened her back. \u201cYou’ve met me, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cTomorrow I\u2019m playing with my retro band Hat Confusion.\u201d
\n      \u201cNo shit? What, like old-school punk?\u201d
\n      \u201cNaw. Old new wave. My friend Molly started that band a few years ago to piss off the punks.\u201d
\n      Rusty haired threw her head back and laughed, a loud braying laugh that made a few people glance in their direction.
\n     \u201cIt worked, right?\u201d asked rusty hair.
\n     Roach shook her head. \u201cThe whole thing backfired. Turns out everyone really likes it.\u201d<\/p>\n

     Annie brought her head back down. \u201cOkay, how \u2018bout this. John Waters is God.\u201d
\n      \u201cDuh! Of course he is.\u201d
\n      \u201cBut he doesn\u2019t rule his realm by himself. He has his angels!\u201d
\n      \u201cJohn Waters angels? What?\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cPsh! I saw you guys play the Wolf Theater last year.\u201d
\n     \u201cReally?Are you one of the ones who stage dived?\u201d
\n      \u201cNaw. My boyfriend did though. He totes got kicked out too!\u201d
\n      \u201cAnd you went after him, right? Once he got tossed?\u201d
\n      \u201cFuck no! I stuck aroun\u2019 and watched the rest of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cShakespeare was a woman?\u201d asked Larry in an incredulous voice.
\n     \u201cI\u2019m kinda obsessed with the Shakespeare authorship controversy.\u201d
\n      \u201cYeah, I\u2019ve heard of that. I don\u2019t know too much about it though.\u201d
\n      \u201cTsk!\u201d said Tandasil as she shook her head. \u201cYou\u2019re supposed to be offended. You know, being British and all.\u201d
\n     Larry held up his hands. \u201cYou\u2019re right. But really, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he was a front, knowin\u2019 those hoity-toity types.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cWell\u2026\u201d Roach glanced at Annie who shrugged. \u201cYou know our nickname for her is The Vulcan.\u201d
\n      \u201cUnderstandable. It’s an accurate Star Trek reference.\u201d
\n      \u201cStar Trek,\u201d moaned Annie as she let her head drop to one side.
\n      \u201cSkye once compared me to Scotty.\u201d
\n      \u201cThe chief engineer?\u201d asked Roach. \u201cYou really are. I can see the mixing board having a warp core breach!\u201d
\n      \u201cNerds!\u201d snided Annie.
\n      \u201cShe\u2019s gonna blow any minute, captain!\u201d said Larry in his best Scottish accent.
\n      \u201cThat’s what he said!\u201d smiled Roach.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I don\u2019t know much about modern music.\u201d Liam looked off in the direction of army jacket woman. \u201cYou must be doing really well if people are asking you for your autograph.\u201d
\n     Miranda sat back, feeling flush. \u201cI\u2019m kinda like\u2026 I\u2019m pretty much one of the more recognizable members of the band. Well, me and my singer.\u201d<\/p>\n

     Larry put his hands in his pockets. \u201cI’m kinda nervous about meetin\u2019 your ma.\u201d
\n      \u201cWhatever for?\u201d
\n      \u201cWell\u2026 Mamas usually think I\u2019m a bit out there. Y\u2019know, not the kinda boy you bring home to mother.\u201d
\n      Tandasil raised her trademark eyebrow. \u201cTrust me, she\u2019s much more out there than you.\u201d
\n     \u201cYeah?\u201d
\n     \u201cI already know she\u2019ll love you.\u201d
\n     \u201cLove me? Aren\u2019t you overselling?\u201d
\n      \u201cHa! She might try and steal you from me.\u201d
\n      Larry actually looked alarmed. \u201cOh dear!\u201d
\n     \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll protect you.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cOkay, how about this,\u201d said Annie. \u201cSusie Bright is God!\u201d
\n     \u201cHell yeah!\u201d said Roach.
\n     \u201cWho\u2019s Susie Bright?\u201d asked Larry.
\n     \u201cSex girl,\u201d said Roach.
\n     \u201cSex girl? Okay.\u201d
\n     \u201cSex writer. And sex activist,\u201d said Annie.
\n     \u201cSounds very San Francisco.\u201d
\n     \u201cShe is!\u201d said Roach.
\n     \u201cBut if John Waters is already God, how can Miss Bright also be God.?\u201d
\n     \u201cA war!\u201d announced Annie as she held up a fist.
\n     \u201cA pantheon war?\u201d asked Roach.
\n     \u201cExactly!\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cHey, I know you. But you\u2019re only half a dyke!\u201d
\n      \u201cHalf a dyke? What?\u201d
\n     \u201cActually she\u2019s more like sixty three percent dyke,\u201d said Molly.
\n     \u201cWhat the fuck?\u201d She looked right at Roach. \u201cIs that true?\u201d
\n      \u201cIt actually depends on the time of day, what the weather\u2019s like, and what kind of mood I\u2019m in.\u201d
\n      \u201cWhat?\u201d
\n      \u201cLike yesterday I think I was only twenty eight percent dyke, but right now I\u2019m more like eighty eight percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Then there were her large array of shoes and boots. Her new Doc Martens, her old Doc Martens, her Doc Marten soles, her chucks, her creepers, her old army boots, and her Red Wing shoes that she had bought when she was in her old street gang the Lower Haight Danger Dykes, also known as The Double D\u2019s.
\n      As she picked up her Red Wings, her thoughts drifted back to those Lower Haight days when she was a rowdy teenager. Her and her friends would often make their way to the much more colorful and busy Upper Haight to mess with tourists and make fun of the gutter punks who would spare change along that popular stretch of Haight Street. She remembered how rude and obnoxious herself and her gang had been, wearing army jackets and flannel shirts to make themselves look more intimidating while yelling, swearing, and acting out in overt attempts to push people’s buttons. <\/p>\n

     \u201cGonna insist on bringin\u2019 this whole thing on tour?\u201d asked Larry as he stepped up on the drum riser.
\n      Roach scrunched her face as she looked it over. \u201cNot sure yet. I have to go through a few more rounds a\u2019 playin\u2019 it before I decide.\u201d
\n     \u201cEither way, the roadies will have fun with this one.\u201d
\n     \u201cEh. It\u2019s what we pay \u2018em for, right?\u201d
\n     Larry raised an eyebrow. \u201cI happen to be one a\u2019 those roadies, m\u2019dear!\u201d
\n     Roach shook her head. \u201cYou\u2019ve been goin\u2019 out with Tandasil too long.\u201d
\n      \u201cWhat?\u201d
\n      Roach looked Larry right in the eye and raised her eyebrow.
\n      \u201cOh blast,\u201d said Larry. \u201cAm I doin\u2019 that now?\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cI can\u2019t decide which shirt to wear!\u201d said Miranda as she held up a stack of band shirts.
\n      \u201cThat\u2019s because you got five million band shirts,\u201d said Preston as he braced himself for more soaring clothes.
\n      \u201cYeah, but this is for a Front 242 show. What do you wear to an industrial show?\u201d
\n         \u201cWear your Alien Sex Fiend shirt.\u201d
\n Miranda looked at him again with her are-you-kidding-me wince. \u201cGod no. Too predictable.\u201d
\n      \u201cYou want me to help you pick out a shirt?\u201d
\n      \u201cYes!\u201d said Miranda as she flung a pile of shirts which hit him in the chest and fell to the floor.<\/p>\n

     \u201cWhat? You don\u2019t like her?\u201d
\n     Skye let out a long sigh. \u201cShe\u2019s cute, she\u2019s smart, she\u2019s down with the street, she\u2019s really nice, and she\u2019s fun to be around. And I hate her guts.\u201d
\n     \u201cOh dear. Totes jelly?\u201d
\n     \u201cIt\u2019s much easier to lust after taken men if they\u2019re goin\u2019 out with jerks.\u201d<\/p>\n
