Antagonist vs. Nagrano II

From the day after two years after I first purchased Jane's Addiction's seminal album "Ritual de lo Habitual", I knew that I wanted to meet Nagrano. When I found out that he was a fervent poker player, I knew I wanted to meet him that much the more.

I composed myself, breathed heavily into my hand and took in my own scent.

I smelled like a winner.

I used my breath-moistened hand to reign in my wild hair and I walked confidently up to the cocktail waitress. "Excuse me Miss", I said. Then, leaning in close and whispering deeply into her ear, "who do I have to suck off around here to get a seat next to Nagrano"?

Round III Soon

Negrano vs. Antagonist pt. I

The neon lights flashed off and on basking my visage in a red orange glow as I walked into the Plaza hotel and casino in beautiful downtown las vegas.

I sauntered up to the rail that surrounded the poker area and who did I see sitting behind a vertiable mountain of casino chips? That's right. D. Nagrano, former guitarist of Janes' Addiction. His rippeling chest barely shone through his open shirt, and I caught a glimpse of his "Aces Full" tattoo poking through.

Of course I had to sit down...

Round II soon...
