Ok, so there were no Tater Tots at the First Friday "Meat Market under the guise of art" event at the MFA last night. But there was indeed a seventy-ish year old man with a man purse. I thought at first he may be holding it for his wife but no, it was his. How do I know? Of course he decided to come over and talk to me. In addition to his man purse he was clearly lacking in any concept of personal space. He kept getting closer and closer to me as he talked and I kept backing up. Unfortunately I could only go so far as there was a sign behind me. Fortunately one of my friends saw what was happening and saved me.
There was the usual display of fashion challenged people which provided no end of amusement. It is a fun event to people watch at but the whole pick-up scene is just a bit much sometimes. There's nothing like the naked desperation when the end of the event comes. With odd, openly lecherous men hanging out by the door waiting to snare any women who wander by on their way to the coat room and hoping for one last gasp of hooking up. It's not very pleasant and was really irking one of my friends.
After the MFA we headed to Cambridge for a beer and a burger. Mine was a cheeseburger with jalapeños and avocado. It was really good but the tater tots made it better! It may have seemed like I was channeling elementary school but they were hot, salty and full of processed potato goodness. It went perfectly with the beer!
