Saturday morning Vers and I took a trip out to Mass. to check the infamous Ebis at his new apartment. Now I’ve known Ebis since the early 90’s when we used to roam the halls of New Britain High School, comparing sketches and also from painting at the same walls around town. I haven’t seen or talked to him since like ‘99, but I’ve heard the stories about how he’s moved from couch to couch, walked from Nashville to Memphis living like a Land Pirate and even how he slept walked off a roof after a night of drinking to break his leg…or just how he looks like Yukon Cornelius. Needless to say, I was pretty anxious to reunite with my ol’ school crony.
As we approached his place, we said to ourselves, “Damn, which one do you think is his?”
And of course after a 30 pack of the High Life and a pint of the 100 proof Schnapps, I staggered, while Ebis still on crutches, made our way over to a wall in the blistering cold to drop a simple. Probably not the best idea I’ve ever had, seeing that I almost fell into the CT River like 4 times.
Stay tuned for Part 2.
