I'd been meaning to go to Lenny's Bar for a while. I missed tons of Janelle Monae shows there thinking
it was in Decatur when it's actually on Decatur street. Go figure, yeah so I went last night to "Down & Dirty."
I'd planned on going with people but that kind of fell through.I was torn because I didn't want to go stag.
But since you only live once, I decided to trek there by myself, because not going & sitting in my apt. for another night
was not in the cards. I made my way through the hood that is my block and hopped on the first thing smoking east of 5 Points.
Getting there was easy as pie, for all my fellow MARTA patrons take eastbound to King Memorial and walk a few blocks.
Yea, so Lenny's is a nice, low key, diverse, eclectic spot. There's pool, booze, regular people, and no pretense.
I eased in, since I was flying solo I didn't want to look like I was out of place, LOL. I made my waynear the stage and
grabbed a seat. I sat there and jammed for a minute, the DJ was dope. He had skills I remember he mixed the new
Common record with this super old school beat, it was love. I got myself a rum and coke and just kind of fucked around
for a bit. I saw this random girl I knew from some class a million years ago, and talked to a few strangers.
I only stayed for an hour because I knew I was riding the train home and I didn't know exactly what time the
hoodlums hit the streets to rob dirt poor unsuspecting kids like myself. I enjoyed my brief little foray into Lenny's world.
I'll definitely make my way back up that way. If you're in the downtown area, just wanna go someone where no-body knows
your name and their probably too into their drink and the music to care, check out Lenny's Bar on Decatur St.
