day 32 | ‘free for all’

Free For All

Winter, 1978. Davis, CA

high school. party at pandora chapman’s house. what i remember:
she was cool. i had a crush on her
lots of people from the ski team were there
i sat on the fireplace hearth most of the night
her parents were away
ted nugent was in heavy rotation on the turntable
i drank too much and fell asleep/passed out in the back seat of a volkswagen bug
that was parked in the driveway
someone found me and called my house. luckily my brother answered the phone
and came and got me
the next day i had my first bad hangover. very bad. couldn’t get out of bed. my dad
came into my room and asked what happened. i didn’t answer. it seemed pretty
obvious. eventually he walked out. i stayed in bed most of the day
