Me and my friends enjoyed going to coffee houses back in high school.  It was kind of when they first started appearing, before the massive onslaught of Starbucks.  There was one called Gotham City Cafe in downtown Ferndale that we heard about.

So we went.  I think it was Jeremy Davidson, Dave Belch, Justin Harris and me.  Dave and I were in our band varsity jackets and Justin and Jeremy were wearing leather jackets, Jeremy was looking particularly preppy.  It turned out that Gotham City Cafe was a total Goth hang out.  It was very dark and strange in there and people were just kind of sitting on the floor.  I can't recall if we got coffee or just decided to leave.  At any rate, I think that people might have chuckled at our preppy appearance.

We left and drove around the block in front of the Cafe.  I think I yelled "fags" out the window and before we could think, some big guy jumped in a truck and started driving after us.  Luckily, we had a head start on him and lost him.  Man, I was such a jerk.
