Sloth And Egg Do Wilmywood

That story deserves to be told:

Our first night out in downtown Wilmington after having moved there to live for the summer, we're getting into a cab to go home and this solo older dude wearing a seersucker suit and like a white fedora jumps in the cab with us. Fedora Guy is in the front, me, Rubbins, and our other roomie are in the back.

The cabbie is going to drop Fedora Guy off first. We are hammered, Rubbins especially so because Rubbins tends to get especially hammered. Fedora Guy takes an instant shine to Rubbins, although I can't remember what specifically they were talking about.

In any event, we arrive at Fedora Guy's apartment, which is at a fairly normal-looking apartment off Market Street. Fedora Guy invites RubbinsRacin to stay for a nightcap. Rubbins asks Fedora Guy what they would do if Rubbins stayed. Fedora Guy replies that they would sit in his hot tub, drink red wine, and watch porno (pronounced in a very southern gentlemanly-sounding way, like "paw-nah"). Rubbins replies that he thinks that plan sounds awesome and starts to get out of the cab.

Sitting next to Rubbins, I put my hand on his shoulder as he's opening the door and suggest that's a bad idea. Rubbins, being a (how to put this nicely) ignitable drunk, tells me to get my goddamn hand off him, that he's going to go inside and get hammered with this guy and there's nothing we can do about it. Rubbins steps out of the car and then, for whatever reason, has a change of heart and gets back in the cab. We go home and go to bed.

He didn't remember much of this the next day, so we got to explain to him about how he almost got raped by an old man wearing a fedora. Funny sidebar: we were out in downtown Wilmington literally 4 or 5x/week for the rest of that summer and never saw that dude again until the very last night. He was still rocking the seersucker and fedora.

ummm, great story!

delivering pizzas was the best ever gig for summer beach living. my boss was some stoner dude even younger than me at the time. everyday- hit the beach until about 3 or 4pm to work on my base, deliver pizzas 5-10ish, then head back home in time to party and go out. rinse, repeat. fuckin a man.

Yeah, I'm moving soon for school, but I will fondly fondly remember my six years down here, from school to work. Wonderful wonderful place.

Level 5 had just opened when we moved there and was a great place to drink.

The place by Johnny Mercer's pier, now called Buddy's, used to have $5 all you can drink on Wednesday night. One night I was talking to this chick, when Rubbins walks by carrying a severed barracuda head in his bare hands.

I think I talked to more hot chicks that night than the rest of the summer combined. Chicks dig scary fish heads. Got it from some fisherman in the bathroom. Fun night!

So you ran into fedora guy multiple times again, then?

Wilmington is hard to beat. Moved down in '99; graduated and moved back to the Greensboro area for a few years then came back as soon as the opportunity presented itself in '06. I've loved every minute down here, and I don't even go to the beach very often at all...

Heading downtown to see Old Crow Medicine Show in a few hours...can't wait.

downtown: firebellys a lot especially for dollar taco night, level 5 a lot. on wrightsville: the old buddys (now lagerheads) and the place by the pier (now I think called buddys) that had $5 all you can drink night. that's what I mainly recall, I'm sure there were many more...lots of strands in the ol' duders head.

One of my best friends was the bar manager at firebellys from about '05 until last year.. spent many a night in there getting wrecked after hours/when I was 19. Lagerheads is my go-to at wb as well.
