Friday
Location: Das Bunker
While I went to Das Bunker in Korea Town not expecting to meet anyone at all, (since it is a goth/industrial/trance club), after a couple hours and digging the vibe where everyone does their own thing and no one judges you based on looks, I met eyes with this seemingly normal guy on the patio outside among the smoke. After a few glances he came over to introduce himself. Unfortunately it was toward the end of the night. He seemed genuine, although he is a Marine, but to his credit he doesnt have a loyalty tattoo anywhere for the USMC and he hates being in...but he has at least 2 more years and another tour in Afganistan at the end of the year...so, while nothing will happen with him, it was nice to not feel like the only outsider among outsiders and feel a connection with a stranger strong enough to make a new facebook friend, at least. He will be at Das Bunker again next week, and I think I will be as well.
