Tapes copied-6/24/05
Drop point 1: Sheetz. Corner of Rt. 60 and Campbell's Run Road, Robinson, PA.
Dropped the first tape off. Really, unreasonably nervous about it. I drove first to the gas station/super market/McDonald's where kids usually hang out. It was, after all, 11 o'clock on a Friday night. But no one was there. Not even skaters taking advantage of the empty parking lots. This is the first time I've ever been by there on a weekend and not seen teenagers doing that "Whudda you wanna do? I dunno whudda you wann do?" thing. So I went to my second choice, the Sheetz.
Again, totally depopulated. This place is, sadly, hopping with kids even on a Sunday night when school's in session. There's actually nothing better to do than go to the gas station and get chips and soda. That's part of the impetus behind this project-inject some weirdness into random kids' lives.
I wonder if Land of the Dead has anything to do with the dessertion, Pittsburgh-area kids getting zombified by the sheer awesomeness of that film. Someone should tell them, "Pilsbury's gonna come kick all yinz asses."
Anyway, Sheetz has some tables outside for people to eat the Sheetz food at. I guess because they like to watch their customers suffer. Or it's some sort of prank. "Look! He's really eating it!" I just dropped the tape, totally unsubtly, on the one table that was under an awning just in case it rained. I don't know who will grab it or what they'll think. I didn't get stopped or questioned by anyone.
