set us up. She said he was perfect. She and I definitely have different ideas about what perfect looks or acts like. And I keep going on blind dates, because where else am I going to meet anyone? It’s not like I ever meet anyone when we go out. Sure, some creepy guys offer to buy us drinks, but that just isn’t getting it done for me. Not to mention after my last boyfriend, I really don’t want to get emotionally involved with anyone that has a routine of getting fucked up.”
    Lilly and Ali rounded the corner to Magic Bar. They were surprised to see a line outside, and it was still pretty early. They walked up to the front door. Ali said something to a plump bald guy wearing a black tee that said staff. He was holding a clicker and as he opened the door for the girls to let them in, he pushed the button on the clicker twice.
    “You know, you are out at these places and you’re not such a bad person. You shouldn’t be so pessimistic and judgmental about other people just because they are out at a bar.” Ali nudged her friend.
    “I’m not judgmental, I am just cautious about whom I spend my time with,” Lilly replied.
    “Look how well that worked out for you with your hot date tonight,” Ali pointed out.
    “Shut up!” Lilly punched her friend in the arm.
    “Hey ladies, you don’t have to fight over me. There is enough of me for you to share,” a tall slightly lanky guy interrupted their playful banter. He wasn’t really bad looking, but he was no head turner either. Truth be told his comment shot his score on the creep-o-meter way up for the two girls.
    Ali’s upper lip lifted like she was about to do an Elvis impersonation , but the raised eyebrows showed her disgust with his lame line. “Eww, you can’t be for real?”
    “What? I was just messing around. Can I get you ladies a beer?” he asked, tying to save his thwarted attempt to hit on them.
    Lilly noticed that his striped polo shirt was tucked too far into his cheap pair of jeans. He happened to be wearing a pair of sneakers that were designed to look like a pair of shoes; they were a big pet peeve of Lilly’s. “Um, no thanks. We just came from dinner and are good to go. Maybe next time. Enjoy the show.”
    The girls walked further into the bar. The crowd was still a bit scarce because the line was still wrapped around the building making a slow crawl through paying the cover at the door.
    “You see what kind of turds hang out in places like this? You wonder why I go on blind dates,” Lilly asked her friend as she looked around wondering where they would stand or sit for the night.
    “He was pretty garish, but stil l, your dates are nearly as bad,” Ali agreed with her.
    “At least they buy me dinner.”
    “Yeah, one that I have to come drag you away from.” Ali wasn’t letting that one slide.
    “Touché. Where do you want to go? Bar? Drinks?” Lilly asked.
    “Bar yes. Drinks yes. And you are buying, girlie.” Ali giggled as they found a spot at the bar on the corner that had one stool left. “You can have the stool.”
    The bartender eventually made her way over; she was petite and had a boyish quality to her. “What can I get you?”
    “Two orange vodka and cranberries,” Lilly ordered the drinks and threw a twenty on the bar leaning her knee on the bar stool. She turned her attention back to Ali, “So tell me about this band you want to see.”
    “They are called Breaking Blood. They aren’t headlining, but I saw them a few months back and they were pretty good.”
    “Please tell me they are not a Goth band.” Lilly took the change from the bartender and left a few dollars on the bar and handed Ali her drink.
    “Would you take a look around, do these people look like they are here to listen to Goth music?” Lilly skimmed the crowd and realized how silly that was. Although there were a handful of people in black, everyone in the bar looked pretty mainstream.
    “Whatever, what did you expect with a name like Breaking
