BB's been stuck in Minneapolis for the past few days, funerals are no fun, especially when it involves a favorite uncle. And the open-air scene in Minneapolis? Pretty much non-existent as far as I could tell, although I know it exists in a few select spots, but I didn't find them. My guess, and from what I heard from a few of the peeps I talked to at dive bar on the UMinn campus, the open-air markets are in some of the bad areas in N. Minny, even though the crime-map I looked at showed the most drug arrests in South Minny, oh well...live and learn, didn't need anything anyway, just felt like checking out the scene.
Got back to the Chi around 8am, took a stroll through Chicago's enormous west-side, basically scouting for a new spot(even though I have 2 "decent" spots that many of you probably know of) and I found one. Even though I could have spent way more, I scooped 4 bags of "Black Nikes"....... (again, from a spot I'm sure many of you already know of, please no PM's for locations... I can only help you so much...and really, a deaf rat can still hear the "rocks or blows" call if you drive at the right speed through the right neighborhoods...seriously, it's simple...and while I know it's a bit scary the first few times---the only thing that SHOULD scare you are the NARCS/COPS---after a while it's as easy as riding a bike....god bless the great city of Chicago!).......and hoped they were better than the "brown tapes w/ yellow bus on the bags---open 24 hours" or the "green sumperman---only see these guys out before 12pm---" bags I've been picking up over the past month.
Well, its been twenty minutes post-sniff(2 bags), and one thing is for sure, they are much easier on the nasal membranes/throat than the browntapes(the greenSupers feel wonderful). Probably don't feel zooted like usual, as I sniffed 4 brown tapes just 4 hours ago, but they bring that nice "burn", and a bit of a runny nose after sniffing, which is a good sign most of the time, imo...
So, I'm not on the same level as quite a few of you when it comes to knowledge of "spots"/"corners"/etc in Chicago, but I'm no longer a noob, and no longer settle for the old "these be dubs" line.....(which I know can be hard to turn down if you're sicker than hell, but unless it is 9pm-4am in the morning, just move on to the next crew/corner).... if you know how to act.....(relaxed, but at the same time laying low--leaning back in car-chair to show the runner that you are a bit paranoid about the cops too, which in turn shows him you know that you aren't an easy mark to screw over with burn bags).....and what to say. Don't get me wrong, every corner boy/man/whatever you want to call them....(any of you know what THEY are called by those above them in their organization, just curious)..... is different, some WAY more paranoid than others, some.....(and you wont see these cats last very long)....WAY to comfortable serving any car/person that passes by.
Anyway, the black nikes seem to a 5/10(score could be low due to my receptors already being full of H before I snorted the Nikes), but I'd mos def go back for seconds.
Have a fun Saturday y'all, and be safe. I know we all love our opiates, and will do crazy dangerous things to get our fix, but always think twice before you make any move...as it may save your life/record/money/ and ass(yes, in that way...ewwwwww! I know, I know, my bad).
Much love, feel free to PM me if you're ever feeling down or need someone to talk to, as I was built to help anyone who needs it(no, not help finding smack, like I said, Corky from life goes on could find it in twenty minutes!)...but anything else. Take it easy y'all...till we post again!
