h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Poindexter and his sister Alicia and her two friends Keith and Adam went with me to Earwax. Keith was a short blue-eyed white guy who was so stupid it alarmed me. Adam was quieter and clearly the leader of the two. They talked about how they had been sleeping on someone's roof.

Alicia pecked me on the cheek when she left the car. She smelled of Jim Beam.

I took Poindexter to Sofia Strehlou's-- we decided not to go to the Undershorts fest. We sat in a cramped room and listened to Preston, Sofia's roommate, spin very loud techno that felt about 7 years old. Preston had two blonde pigtails that glowed green from the blacklights he had installed around his elaborate bank of keyboards. He was accompanied by a cheerful, thin brunette who shimmied and ululated sporadically.

Sofia gave me some peach moonshine. While waiting for the bathroom, Poindexter and I were approached by two girls who were looking for their blind dates at the party. One of them was a graduate student working on her dissertation and the other one worked for Andersen Consulting.
