Zeitgeist

Everybody who’s anybody already knows about Zeitgeist, so I’m just gonna relay a story.
I’m sitting in the outside garden, and ask the dude sitting next to me for a cigarette. We get to talking and whatnot, and I ask him what he does. He says he works in “The Valley.” So I’m like, uhh, “Noe Valley? Hayes Valley?” He says matter-of-factly “Uh, no. SILICON Valley.” Excuuuuuuuse me, sir, I grew up in Southern California, “The Valley” means something *way* different than Intel Inside.
So, like the proper crunkard I am, I challenge him to a drinking contest. The loser has to give the winner his pants, we decide, although I’m not sure why. This is where it gets a little blurry (most of this was retold to me by my friends who had to tell me the next day). Of course, I totally win, hands down. Cause I don’t lose in drinking contests. But I’m of course totally wasted/loud/obnoxious, he’s puking in the port-a-potty. And somehow in the end, I end up giving him MY pants. Confused? Yeah, a little.
Anyways, I’m walking (stumbling) out of Zeitgeist in my black hoodie, a scarf, and my underoos. I’m also wearing argyle socks and Crocs and smoking a cig. Some random person comes up to me and says “Do you watch Project Runway?” I say “Yes, I do.” And they say “You’re so Jay.” I take it as a compliment.
Zeitgeist is an enabler.
