Going Solo

[Kate]

Great story.i myself have never been arrested. But I have been questioned by cops before. It's.. disturbing. I have mixed feelings about law enforcement.

[Jimmy Doom]

I think even the " Back the Blue" types with the bumper stickers really have mixed feelings

[Carol Angel]

Vallejo, was in a different realm. Was the cop laughing, I doubt it. By the time he sobers up, this arrest will all be a dream except for bail...not my alley but love your characters❤️

[Jimmy Doom]

Cops laugh at people. They really do. I'm sure it relieves street stress. I've been arrested dozens of times. I've seen them laugh. Vallejo is bombed though

[Patris]

Good bombed is good. I know.

[Patris]

Vallejo is happy, isn’t he, regardless of the street, the cops, the zip ties. Genies aren’t in those bottles he drinks from, but they may as well be.

[Jimmy Doom]

I think he's generally happy, believes in himself, cares.

[Patris]

He’s hard not to like. A lot.

[Jimmy Doom]

Clifford is an homage to my drummer Cliff who cowrote our opening song with me and drank himself to death. So that must mean there's a lot of me in Vallejo

[Patris]

I’m sorry you lost Cliff. I’m glad you’re here.

[Jimmy Doom]

Thanks. He made my band and life better for a lot of years.

[Patris]

I understand the title now.

[Carol Angel]

Good to know...

[Lorraine Evanoff]

This is so vivid. Great story.

[Jimmy Doom]

Thanks Lorraine. I've been there. Not exactly, but close.

[Lorraine Evanoff]

That's why you're writings so great.

[Joe]

Interesting perspective.

The bit about the lights in the florist shop was excellent writing.

[Jimmy Doom]

Thanks J/S. I thought that kind of set it apart too.
