A few friends of mine have picked up these<\/a> Scottevest jackets with lots of pockets. As I prefer to keep things simple, I never really saw myself going for one. After my wild evening of hot, wanton geekness, though, they’re looking better and better. I share with you now, gentle reader, the contents of this nights pockets:<\/p>\n

Wallet<\/span> – Even though ‘anime night’ at the Albright Knox<\/a> was supposed to be free, a gentleman never travels without folding money.<\/p>\n

Keys<\/span> – I left the USB drive at home. You know, because only geeks carry those things.<\/p>\n

Handkerchief<\/span> – Oh, shut up. They come in handy more often than you think.<\/p>\n

Cellphone<\/span> – (Well, Tracfone anyway.) Lil’ Davey has been known to get confused, so best to keep communication lines open.<\/p>\n

Pager<\/span> – see above<\/p>\n

Cigarettes and lighter<\/span> – Tromping around the perimeter of the museum looking for an open entrance would have been an excellent time to light up. I opted against it, for once.<\/p>\n

Digital camera<\/span> – Just in case something picture-worthy happened. Like Jess and Lil’ Davey singing a duet of the theme from Record of Lodoss War<\/span> at Cosplay Karaoke in Clifton Hall. Alas, it went unused.<\/p>\n

Chapstick<\/span> – Yapping about Japanese import websites will dry those lips, I tell you.<\/p>\n

Nintendo DS<\/span> – Why waste a beautiful night inside playing videogames when you can be sitting on the patio at SPoT Coffee playing videogames? (By the way, Lil’ Davey is very, very good at Mario Kart<\/span>. I retract all smack-talk.)<\/p>\n

Now, if I had one of those Scottevests, I would have been able to carry the copy of The Last Unicorn<\/span> which changed hands this evening in one of the larger pockets. Another would have held the Wes Craven almost-straight-to-DVD movie<\/a> we rented. And I don’t even have an MP3 player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
