Voltaire again...
So we went to see Voltaire again last night. First time we saw him was last year at the Milwaukee Gothic Council's Midsummer Night's Scream party. He wouldn't break my $100 bill.
This time we saw him via the Chicago Gothic Council at Club Luna. Nice venue, they had polish food and mixed the drinks with a heavy hand. We even joined the council, I have a laminated card stating that I am "Mr.Weed".
Voltaire usually has a table with merchandise and is more than willing to sign his CDs and such. As Teflon and I were standing in line, I noticed there was a menu board behind him with the venue's offered food items. I point this out to her and already, she knows what I am going to do. She the fan, I just like going out, so she started getting antsy about my antics that were about to ensue. As I start plotting out my joke, fat, ignorant goth chick butts into the line, but whatever, as we're not gloom and doom, we're fun and fun, so we let it slide.
She steps away and I walk up to the table and say sincerely:
"Um, yeah, let me have a cheeseburger and , well, how about a banana split too".
Voltaire looks at my like I'm insane.
I motion to the menu board behind him.
He looks, turns back to me and smiles:
"Those prices are wrong".
I go nuts asking him if I truely am the 1st to ask him that.
He then starts digging around and hands me a copy of his CD "Banned On Vulcan" and says:
"You're such a funny guy you get a CD".
I know Teflon already has this one so I go:
"You know what....thank you".
I figured the CD makes the story a bit better and take it. I then buy the last copy of the new CD and have him sign it to Teflon. He does and passes it along shakes my hand and we move along.
Later whilst commandering a couch we notice (meaning Teflon does) that Brian from the The Gothcicles is standing next to us, so I motion him over and we have a chat, as we liked his performance at the 'scream and he's drunk and nice to us.
Soon after Voltaire saunters into the room and orders some food. I tell Teflon I want a picture with him, but she's a bit embarrassed, but her gin and tonics and my vodka cranberries were heavy handed, so I tell her I'm going to ask and if he says yes, I'll give her the thumbs up.
So I stagger over and plot down and ask, he says yes, so I thumbs up to her.
She starts to take it, but she's far away, so he quips "is that a fuckin' telefoto lense?".
So she comes over and takes the photo.
I say thanks and we laugh about the fire marshalls and I let him eat. Teflon takes a photo of his plate.
Later we see Mick from the 99th Floor store and stand with him and his people during the show.
We go home after.
I'm still tired.
