THE PENSION PLAN
Chevette Holmay...with such an
unlikely name as that he said
'I think all the world is always
laughing at me,' and I wanted
to believe him, say that's true.
Maybe. What can you do?
-
We were sitting at El Rocco
Cantina, which had been his
choice. Just another 9th street
dump with Spanish food. I
guess OK. Down here, this
part of the east Village, 6th
Street is all Indian cuisine,
and 9th street starts up
Mexican and Spanish.
-
Those are the streets, mind you;
along the avenues, A, 1st, 2nd,
it's all mixed. You can get most
anything, and drink yourself to
death doing it. That's good too.
-
One time, when my son was
about 15, I took him and two
friends, along 6th street to one
of the Indian places. It was all
new then, about 1986, to the kids.
Anything past a hot dog and soda
was exotic cuisine. Anyway, my
son barfed all over everything.
Like right in the middle of a
sentence, just talking. Boy, that
sucked a whole lot, right then.
-
I told Chevette, I said, 'Talk
about getting laughed at, man
you should have seen that scene.'
He went wild with giggles.
