Bourbon On The Rocks #20

by

I grabbed some lunch and headed back to my apartment in Glendale to get ready to go steppin' out at the Cherokee Club. I put on my best blue pinstriped suit, white tie, black wingtip shoes, blue velvet fedora, and a white scarf.

I pulled up to the club in Long Beach, across the street from the Pacific Ocean. The parking lot was full. I guess the reports in the papers about a deceased singer from this very club brought out the curious seekers of all things morbid.

The sun had just gone down and the night was coming alive...

    Jake the dude eh? Watch your step...you don’t want to spoil your smart kit Jake, because I get the feeling things might kick off pretty soon!

    I realized I've never really described what Jake looks like. Maybe that's better because you can draw your conclusions in your mind's eye. But I figured since he was getting all dolled up for a night on the town that I would at least describe his outfit.

    Own conclusions, I meant.

    Thanks Christopher. I’m not sure it matters exactly what he looks like, but describing his dressed-up garb is both appropriate and adds to the richness of the Jake character.
