Friday Steve and Rick both had hockey games. I watched Steve's then Jen and I watched Rick's game. Afterward (and I will blame this on rick) Rick had this great idea to go watch his friend's band play at a bar in Romulus. Wild Willy's. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go because I was wearing a sweatshirt and my Heely's but I was assured that it wasnt a big deal. All four of us were dressed similar.
We walk in to the bar and the first thing I notice was there was no where to sit. I felt awkward. Jen finally found us a seat and I started to notice the people around me. First, and this was probably the best, there was an older guy (in his late 40's probably) with shoulder length black hair and a mustache wearing a dark blue shirt with tight black jeans. He went up to the stage right next to the guitar player and started playing he air guitar as if they were jamming together. He would fall behind then just stand there and stare and smile. It was so incredibly funny. This didnt just happen once or twice but periodically throughout the time we were there. At one point he actually started singing into the mic! Then there was his girlfriend. This woman was about 5'2" and about 300 lbs. Holy Crap was she large. She had poofy blond hair and was dancing in her seat at the table. Arms were faliling!
I get my drink, a Long Island Iced Tea, whick had to be at least 95% alcohol. It literally urned my mouth and throat liek a shot of hard liquor. Most people wouldnt complain but this drink was not meant to be downed in a second. It was a drink. I suffered through it after making a few gross faces. After about hte fifth sip I couln't taste much anyway. I was drunk off my ass after 1 drink.
There was a chick with black hair, very, very short in the back and longer in the front. She wore glasses and a dark blue skin tight shirt, jeans and muffin tops completed the outfit. She danced infront of the band, facing them, in one spot, alone on the dance floor for a whole song. I swear it was like she was in a different place as she did this.
There were lesbians. One wore a shirt that didn't come close to covering her very round belly. (I called it miffin belly) The other wore sweat pants, a hoodie with a t-shirt sticking out of the bottom and a winter hat. THey danced like a man and a woman would. It was interesting.
Then there was a lady with poofy blond hair, a short black dress with flowers on it and a slit in the front. She seemed to be relitively normal other than that she was up there dancing by herself int he "sexiest" way she could wiggling her hips and acting like a stripper. Then she turns around and starts singing. Her teeth were mangled. Crooked, gappy and brownish.
She has a boyfriend though. He looked like the guy from the Crash Test Dummies (see pic below) only he had a mustache and wore a suit.
There was this wigger kid with an earpeice.(he must have been really important) he and his girlfriend mostly played pool but they did dance a little. It looked like a mosh pit. His girlfied got nto a fist fight with another guy. It was good stuff. I laughed so hard I almost cried.
There were a couple other stange happenings including a guy walking up to the dance floor raising his arm and screaming "wooo yeah" and a gentleman wearing a headband like Willie Nelson (only it was blue).
This was one of the strangest if not the strangest place I've ever been. I looked to Jen and told her I felt like I was on a different planet or something. Surely I couldn't be in Michingan... right? Wrong. It is disturbing to know that this goes on all the time and only a few miles from home.
Jen, I know you were expecting this blog. Feel free to add to it. BTW, in order to insure that I remembered all the important details, I actually sat in the bar taking notes.
Sooo, if anyone wants to have a true redneck, hillbilly, white trash expierence, go to Wild Willy's on Middlebelt/Van Born in Romulus.
