Caucasiclysm

Downstairs at an NYC bar, in a room that smelled of cologne and desperation, the dance music suddenly gave way to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Suddenly, the room was united in people pumping their fists in the air, throwing their heads back and singing in that heartfelt Steve Perry way.

A knot of dread grew in my stomach. I knew we had to leave.

It's a shame how much fun irony makes us miss.

Or just good taste.


P.S.: I think these lines (and the title) would be a great beginning of a story.
