Talking in Technicolor

Jack Straw

This past weekend I had plans to meet a friend downtown and go see the Jack Straw show on the north side of Chicago. I was taking the train from the suburbs and meeting my friend downtown, then we were going to a friends condo and then to the show. When I arrived at the train station in the suburbs about to head downtown, I ran into two other friends of mine who told me they were going downtown to go to the same friends condo I was. (These friends met him through me.) So the 3 of us took the train down and went to my buddies condo.

At his place, the 3 of them take 3 hits each of what they thought was lsd. About an hour into it they all start getting pretty crazy. (All 3 have taken acid many many times btw.) Then the one guy mentions how he found 100 hits of this stuff IN THE GARBAGE at the Cornmeal NYE show. Some more time goes by and they only start acting weirder. They are laying on the floor, cannot form coherent sentences. They are trying to talk to me, but can only mumble. At this point I realize this is not the place for me, this is way too weird, and I'm going to the concert I was planning on going to with my friend.

When we return from the concert back to my friends condo, my other 2 friends have left and I hear about how crazy things got. No one could take the trip, and apparently my two friends now think they were drugged by this guy and that he did voo doo on them. I shit you not. The next morning one of them texts me "you're messed up man, you are seriously fucked up." I reply, "what?" And he says, "You know what he was doing in there, this is fucked up, you need to tell me everything." I reply that I have no idea what he is talking about. I have tried calling and texting him multiple times since then and he does not respond. Yesterday another friend of mine goes to his house to pay him money he owes him and he pulls a gun on my friend who wasn't even there. He tells him that he needs to tell him everything that happened immediately. My friend is able to convince him that he has no idea what he is talking about and gets out of there immediately.

Apparently these 2 guys think that the whole night was an elaborate setup. Me "running into them" at the train station. Us going to the condo. All a big setup to drug them and do voo doo on them. Even though the drugs they took were from him and they were planning on going downtown before I even talked to them.
