undercover scheme

As part of a new social experiment, we joked about sending one of us along with Buddha during one of his dissolute Friday night outs (nights out?) to see what goes on. I've volunteered an unwilling Carl.

Or, we could all go out and replicate the experience ourselves. Marco and I will probably suffer the most since witticisms are forbidden while Vin enjoys the vino.

And the reason we even bother to consider this? For me, it is about understanding more about the younger crowd. For a writer of any stripe, that's valuable. As a playwright, I'd kill for the dialogue (the more insipid, the better).

The way Buddha tells it, it sounds like Godot.
