hey brian,
yeah, i've got a few stories... i did a lot of stupid things in
college.
i grew up in western NY, and came down to NYC for college...there
were several other girls from my hometown attending my school, and
we had a great time as newbies in the big city... but because we went
to a college with very few straight men (mostly women and gay guys),
we used to hang out at columbia university uptown on the weekends.
one night, we went up to columbia to a frat party... one of our
friends
from upstate just had her boyfriend break up with her, so she got
upset
and very drunk... as we were walking down broadway, some local guy
said something to her that i didn't hear... but i did hear her snarl
at him
about "staying in the gutter where he belonged."
needless to say, he didn't appreciate that... he started to follow us
with
his friends, threatening all of us... we ran into a diner and sat at a
booth,
but we saw him looking at us through the door... a couple minutes
later,
he stormed into the diner and pointed out this girl to one of his
friends,
saying "she's the one"... the other guy nodded and said, "yeah, i'll
take
care of it"... he had his hand inside his jacket like he was holding a
gun.
(now we didn't actually SEE a gun, but it looked like it... and we
were
appropriately freaked.)
we went to the owner of the diner and asked him to get the police...
the
police came in and escorted us out of the dinner, then put us in a cab
back downtown.
of course, we all screamed at this girl when we got back to the dorm,
and
she wasn't allowed to join us for a couple weeks as we went back to
columbia... she ended up quitting college shortly after that and
moving
back to western NY, where she went into rehab for a bit... then got
married
and had a baby... that's the last i heard of her.
so that's how we maybe almost got shot... happy to say, that's as
close as
i've come (that i know of).
now, brian... it's YOUR turn.
