Photo By John HoffOn the last night of 2008, Hawthorne's own Bryan Thao Worra managed to win one of the "meat raffles" at the Nomad World Pub, which Jeff Skrenes and I managed to parlay into opportunities to pick up women. (Well, at least to TALK to a few women)
Procuring some sticks from a nearby hedge, and using the blazing patio fire at the Nomad, Jeff and I roasted some of Bryan's high-quality sausages (duck with herbs, lamb and blackberry and...something with, like....beef) which immediately attracted the attention of women on the patio. Which we knew it would. Some dancing resulted. It was a good New Year's Eve, by recession standards.
While we were out on the patio, what sounded like gunfire could be clearly heard on the Cedar Ave. S., as though somebody was firing into the air to bring in the new year.
Pictured above; top to bottom, "Sherry," (spelling of name unknown) a student in neurology, pouts because she didn't win one of the meat raffles. But she's so CUTE when she pouts. Below, Jeff holds Bryan's sausage.

Hey, we had gunfire at midnight in North Minneapolis too! You don't have to hang out with the swells in South to get that.
I actually heard some of that gunfire, but I couldn't get a good idea of the location and I figured the shot spotter was on it, anyway.
Rounds fired in the air come back down to earth with great force. This kind of irresponsible "celebratory" behavior really pisses me off.
36th and Fremont was full of gunshots... sounded like WW3 was breaking out!
