IN: And you thought that shit was only in Harry Potter ! The following night we celebrated my friend 's birthday ( same friend ) in Alki , with a wonderful backdrop of Seattle . It was pricey .
Was Seattle the right setting for this event ?

OUT: Yes , although it was pricey , it was just what we needed

IN: It worked , but the whole fan looked like it was going to fall over any minute . Larry and I kind of looked at each other and tried to figure out what to do next . After a couple of minutes , we noticed some unidentifiable stuff on the walls . Then more and more things on the walls .
Why was Larry and the narrator weirded out by the room ?

OUT: They noticed damage to the interior .

IN: The not knowing if he was or he was n't . It was literally killing me ! Fortunately , a friend recommended a book to me that changed my life .
Why is the narrator so grateful to the friend ?

OUT:
The friend has recommended them a great book .
