There wasn't much to say about the place, the sign that hung outside blinked and flickered, it’s best days well behind it, several of the letter now just dark lines. Some one staring for a moment would realize that even with the darkened letters the sign said ‘The Stockade’. A bar, bordering on saloon, at the front had not horses lined up, but a long row of motorcycles, and the not one of them an aerodynamic Asian imports or crotch rocket. No the majority of bikes bore the name ‘Harley Davidson’ though most did look the same as when they rolled off the production line, as many had obviously undergone extensive customizing.
The place was somewhat lit, with floodlight from various corners of the building lighting the surrounding area, mostly projecting onto the area the bikes were parked in. Several large men, in leathers vest, jeans, and even leather chaps hung outside talking and drinking. Amongst the men was an occasional woman, who seemed to be similarly attired, expect she wore tight jeans and low cut tops. The atmosphere was obviously jovial and friendly as the crowd laughed and joked as they stood about. Many had both hands full, one with a bottle of beer or a bottle of hard liquor, and a cigarette in the other. Someone passing by would pick up that distinctive acrid smell that not all the cigarettes might be of the legal kind. When the door opens, as people move to and fro, a blare of old fashion heavy metal music can be heard.
Inside ‘The Stockade’, the place wasn’t exceptionally well lit, and tended to be on the dim side for the most part. There was a large raised bar, with stools in front of it, several pool tables and dart boards in one section, and a few chairs and seat in another. Though there were quite a few men about, there too were not quite but almost as many women in the place. The crowd may have looked rough, but there seemed to be no imminent fights, or out of control arguments going on. There was noise as the juke box, one of the more up to date electronic kind, but made to look old fashion played The Who in the background.
One man sitting, and another one standing at the bar talking. The guy sitting had an attractive girl hanging off of him as she stood next to him, almost draped over him as the two men talked. Even though the man was sitting it was clear he was tall, probably close to 6’4” if he stood up. The man's standing was Paul. The conversation they were engaged in seemed to revolve around astronomy of all things.
