Colfax Stories

[Nightrain]

First day in Denver, I picked up lunch and parked under a tree next door to eat my lunch. Unmarked and marked cop cars pull up, block me in, and pull guns on me. I was in a bank parking lot and it looked suspicious to them.

Got into a fight with a big black dude, he busted my lip and pulled a gun on me. I took the gun away and knocked him to the ground. As I was ready to shoot him with his own gun, a cop car drove by and common sense took over.

Good times.

Oh so you don't know about the Pitcher for the Rockies who got busted on West Colfax getting a blowjob in his pickup truck?

Concerts at the Bluebird, the Filmore, the Ogden were favorites.

Tool's first show at the Mammoth circa 1994. It was called the Mammoth before it became the Fillmore for all you young whippersnappers out there. Anywho, I remember there was this old creepy homeless dude preaching to us as we stood in line. His sermon was about how we all were going to burn in hell for listening to devil music....

I was wondering when Nightrain would contribute a story. Man, you should write a book.

The Apple Tree Shanty was a great restaurant in an bad location on Colfax. I was propositioned on my way out the last time I was there with the family. I think the streetwalkers had something to do with it closing.

It was so dark in Zanzabar, you never knew what the gal beside you looked like. I used to work evenings with the manager's mother. We would go there after work for a beer. I never purchased a beer in all the times I was there.

I lived off of Colfax for nearly two years and worked briefly at Mammouth Gardens in its second incarnation. Before that, for guys in my high school, it was the place to go to test your courage and luck.

-Saw my first porno there.

-Went to my first peep show -- Kitty's. Whew, that was ugly with all the gays cruising and offering BJs (not that there's anything wrong with that. . .but not to my taste).

-First experience with a hooker. That was strange. This little ratty guy asked me if I wanted a girl. Totally on impulse, I went upstairs. A beautiful young woman was indeed there; she looked a lot like Barbara Feldon, believe it or not. I realized later, of course, that I'd been lucky not to have been robbed, beaten or worse. That was a good lay, though.

-Held up at gunpoint at another place I worked. The guy with me pissed his pants, and I've felt pretty good forever after that I did not. And, like Churchill says, nothing's more exhilirating that being shot at and missed.

-Friend of mine did his dissertation on the young male prostitutes who hung out on the steps of the state Capitol Building, waiting for the husbands from the 'burbs to show up.

-Kountry Kitchen!! Best waitresses, that is, if you're looking for stories. And I was.

- A streetwalker telling me she kept a straight razor in her purse, and when she got in a car and was about to go down on the john, she'd whip out the razor, hold it next to his dick and collect hefty fee.

_Heard about Sid King's, but it shut down before I could get in legally. I still remember the garish mannequin it had outside, the colored lights and, it seems, ol' Sid's voice amped up and talking about the "'bakla' on that chick'

-And I still have a gash on my shin from another crazy episode when some fucked up cracker ran into me while I was filling up my car.

Man, there's a few novels there. It seems very tame now with all the gentrification and upscale tequila bars.

I miss the wildness. The life is getting drained out of our cities. It's nice, I suppose, that you can stroll around 42nd street in NYC and not have your sphincter clenched, or saunter down Colfax without some wet work going on, but even so, there should be at least a few blocks given over to crime, disease, decay, sex and decadence in every city.

I gots hundreds of them only they are your standard hooker-john interactions with an occasional sprinkling of LE.

Oh, got my $4000 Rolex stolen by a hooker one night. About 8 months later, she was complaining about selling a Rolex for only $500 to a pawnshop, I think she forgot she stole it from me to begin with LOL. Course I myself found it on the beach back when I was in college so I never said anything.

Occasional sprinkling of LE? Man, your stories should be made into a documentary. I need to start a thread about Nightrain hooker stories.

I remember a dancer at Saturdays who did that for openers. Her real trick was shooting ping pong balls across the stage into your drink.

I would LOVE to see that LOL I'm not sure if I would love to see it happen to my Own drink though...
