Yeah, "gettin' tight," and also using "stoned" to mean drunk.

awww man just remembered The Top O'The Hill Tavern -- in Bridgewater, NJ when i was in high school -- everyone went there b/c it was like the ONE place that did not card anyone (EXCEPT me! i was 18, and the ONLY one in my group who was legal) (yeah the drinking age was 18 back then) -- total honky tonk vibe, i still remember the band, complete with red and gold spangled outfits, huge cowboy hats, etc.

Handy Haversack:

Stop me if you've heard this one: A bunch of drunk, crying listeners stumble into EFD's disco dance party ...

I keep reading out the title and saying, "This one might be positive!" And Kate keeps pointing out the moment when I become quite wrong.

Well, more wine for me!

Shout out to all the drunks sitting in makeshift plywood boxes sitting in parking spaces all over NYC. Getting drunk while getting bus fumes in the face. Risking a car accident knocking them — and the box — to the curb.
