Found: Following a week off the sauce, The Shoegazer decided it was time to be social again, and what better place to do that than Great Scott? After all, “The Pill” is the place to be seen, and to not see your money slip away as you stand near the bar. That’s where The Shoegazer comes into the picture, as he recovered a pair of $1 bills lying unclaimed on the floor.
Location: These twin dollar bills were folded together, slightly crumpled, and lying on the floor about halfway between the bar stools and a ledge that serves as a table for standing bar patrons. The venue of course is the venerable Great Scott at 1222 Commonwealth Ave in Allston, MA.
Source: The Shoegazer can only hope that these were dropped by the toolbag who took a swing at his friend Nico of the local band Televandals, or the skank accompanying said toolbag, who took a few swings at Great Scott’s fearless bartender (and fan of the blog) Tim.
Destination: These dollars remained together throughout their brief tenure in The Shoegazer’s pocket, as they were spent together at a cafe in Central Square in exchange for a sandwich and a fresh brewed iced tea.

thank you, IMDB, for reminding The Shoegazer that the "I Want My Two Dollars" kid was in fact named Johnny

I love a good “Better Off Dead” reference.
