The marijuana NA meeting: the revolver-finger, and Erdedy nearly assaulted

timeline_event

texture · 9 Nov YDAU

When: 9 Nov YDAU, an NA Beginners' marijuana-focus meeting near Belmont/Waltham (Johnette Foltz supervising)
What: Johnette Foltz takes Kate and Ken Erdedy to the one metro-Boston NA meeting devoted to marijuana. Through it Kate keeps "making a revolver of her forefinger and thumb and shooting herself in the temple" until told to stop; wears "her usual lipless expression of morose distaste" but gives and gets a few of the closing hugs. The meeting ends with Erdedy nearly assaulted by a resident (Roy Tony) over his refusal to hug — an incident Kate later reports back at the House (relayed via scene 104: "that Kate girl said Ken E. like to get killed by some son of a bitch last night").
