So I wrote a ton of blog posts on my flight back from San Jose, but after reading them, decided they were much too boring to bother posting (worse than my crown plaza review). So I thought I’d just go with the highlights.
On Saturday night (9/3/05), Kat and I went to SanFran to have dinner and go to da club. I was apparently dressed in my “drug dealer” clothes – a black long sleeve button up shirt and a pair of khaki pants. I can think of three instances over the past couple years that people have seen me wearing this particular shirt when people have either outright asked me for pot or made some comment about me looking like a drug dealer. At the club in SanFran, Kat and I were standing by the bar when a guy walks up and says “Do you have any pot?” Obviously caught off guard by the question, before I could respond the guy went on the defensive and said, “If you don’t that’s cool. Don’t worry about it.” Worry about it? What do I have to worry about? Should I be worried that he called me on my drug dealer persona and I didn’t deliver? I’m not really sure.
I remember the first time this happened, I was at a party and as I’m sitting on the couch wearing the same thing when someone comes up and says “hey, you look like a guy who has some pot.” I’m not really sure how I gave off that impression. I didn’t reek of patchouli. I wasn’t wearing a tie-dyed t-shirt. I made very few references to Cheech Marin. But alas, still look like someone who carries pot on him at parties.
Now I just need to find a way to make this look work out for me. Surely there’s somewhere I can benefit from looking like a drug dealer. Suggestions?
