The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Speaking of Zeph: Can you recount the mugging experience from MDF a bit back? I was remembering it to Pat but can't find the posts about it.

From my recollection, Dan, Bleull, Mort and someone else went to 7-11 for 2 AM pizza and on their way back, Dan and the other guy were walking ahead, encountered the mugger, who accosted them asking for something, and Dan just kept walking with some dismissive comment. Well, Mort and Bleull didn't get away so easily when it was their turn to walk by the mugger.

Mort would remember the story in more precise detail, obviously.
 
I think that was Saturday. You couldn't have been as fucked up as you were the day before. I remember seeing you sitting down on the side of the building looking like you were on Saturn or something, giving me a massive hug, then going on for 10 minutes or so about how Assuck was one of the greatest grind bands ever since you just bought a patch. This was about an hour before Macabre, where I saw you from the back near the pit getting tossed around like a rag doll with a giant smile on your face the whole time.
 
Oh shit, that was MDF X? Are you sure? David wasnt there that year. The mugging was the year prior. That at least I remember. And the patch because I still have it. Nicole has some epic photos and videos of you outside the Tremont that year, triple fisting Natty Bohs and cigs. She gets the best photos every year I swear.

However, I dont remember much of Macabre's set other than my friend got kicked out for urinating out in the open right in front of the Sonar entrance, then ran from the security guard, but got caught causes hes fat, then ended up fighting him and got escorted out. He snuck back in.
 
We were all coming back from Ale Mary's around 2 or so in the morning, and Bleull was beyond blasted. Cart wheels in the street, running up to random people and talking to them, limboing under parked semi-trucks, etc. so it took us way longer to get back then it would have otherwise.

Don't remember why we stopped in 7-11, but we get there and this dude is harassing the clerk because he didn't have enough money for whatever he was buying. I walk out and remember him coming up to Bleull and I asking if we could give him some money. I spent all my cash at the merch stands the day prior so I had none to give, and after telling him that we had none he goes, "Well if you're not going to give me it, then I'll take it from you."

I reach in my pockets to give him my shit and he grabs my wrist, saying, "Don't you dare, I'll grab it." I remember him saying something about how no one is going to help you so don't you dare call for help. He grabs my phone and wallet after having obtained the only thing Bleull had on his person - a fucken bottle cap haha.

All I could see that he had was a thing of presumably pepper spray or something of that nature, but there was another guy with him who stood there silently while the entire situation was taking place. I wasn't really scared of the man doing the mugging so much (the entire experience was pretty frightening though) as I was the silent man. He just watched and I wasn't sure if he had any kind of weapon so I didn't bother trying to act out in my defense.

Cops were called, arrived faster than expected, drove around in the cop car, found the guys, got my phone back with no sim card, couldn't find my wallet, guys were taken in to the station...we went down to get my phone back since it had to be treated as a stolen item, police report filed, and I was back in the hotel within about 2 hours after the event took place.

Flying back home without any shred of identification was pretty fucking easy surprisingly. TSA called some government agency asking questions about how long I've had my car, how long I've lived where I did, my mothers maiden name, etc.
 
Jeez, that really blows, and not even having like a $1 to give to get him off your back… the silent guy standing would've freaked me out too. I honestly just usually give the homeless people money (or when someone asks) if i can to avoid shit like that even though they probably wouldn't act in the same way but still. Glad you got your phone back, though.
 
Yeah unless you've got a gun and I can see it, I'm not handing you shit.

If I get stabbed, well I suppose I get stabbed.
 
I'd hand over my shit if there was two of them that definitely had knives or other weapons and I was cornered but that's about it.

I don't have a death wish or any desire to be seriously hurt but having been hospitalized by a large group of guys for stepping in to help a solo stranger (dirty foreigner, too) I can't imagine reacting to something like this with anything less than 'fuck off, you cunt'.
 
Everyone should always have something to threaten the bad guy with. Protect yourself, always carry a weapon.

Anyways I was all good with just blazing and playing dragon age when I get off work until my dumb friend hit me up and wanted to hang. He has no wheels, theres nowhere to hang worth driving to because the people will be ready for bed by the time we get there, and can't hang at his place.

An awesome solitary night ruined by the hope of social inebriation. Now I'm gonna feel lonely and unfulfilled when I get home.

MDF the year prior, I encountered a similar situation and had the attitude you're mentioning. There was only one guy involved though. The guy grabbed my friend's wallet. I jumped on the guy and started hitting him. He slipped away and started running. I chased the guy for a quarter mile or so before he gave up. I patted the guy down and got the money back after he stopped. I was lucky that the guy didn't actually have a weapon, so I'm doubt I would make the same decision again. Unless, of course, I was zonked on whiskey in the same manner I was that night.
