Coney Island part deux
Saturday, August 12th, 2006
So, about a month after Siren Festival, I find myself back at Carnie Island, but this time a much, much mellower atmosphere (thank Buddha). Instead of riding the oughta-be-demolished Cyclone, I opted for “Break Dance” & felt worse than I did after Cyclone (as if I imagined that possible). Hmm, not such a good idea after just washing down a hot dog, fries and a Red Stripe. Had to sit out my sick spell for a bit out on the boardwalk under a patch of shade where I nauseously watched passersby. My insides settled, and hit up the arcades for some SkeeBall & cranes. My buddy Stephanie and I realized these damn crane games are the equivalent of slot machines; we addictively fed these machines all our quarters, each time hoping we’d be closer to our jackpot i.e. stuffed animal. Good times & this segment of my Make-A-Wish summer courtesy of googlers IT crew ;^)
