keys

My buddy took his mom's car (was s'posed to be working!!) and off we went to the show, no tix... well we found tix for the bargain (in retrospect!!) price of 25 dollars each. Enhanced, and with tix in hand, we ran in to see the show. on the line to get in, my buddy realized he didn't have the car keys. well, what are ya s'posed to do? run around the parking lot looking for KEYS?!? Hell no, we went in to the show and had a blast. (other than the nagging feeling that the car would be gone when we came out). When the show was over, we finally found the car, and the keys were in the ignition, and the doors were locked!! Having spent our cash on tix, and other goodies (hehe) we had to find an atm machine, which weren't quite as common then as now. So off we walked into the HEMPstead darkness, and i still remember the religious zealot blasting propaganda across the street about our souls et etc. and we walked with a head full of ... until we found an atm at a gas station which could have been a block away, or 10 miles. Got the money, walked back to the lot, and the tow driver opened the car for $50!! The whole situation was very apropo (sp?) for the more stress involvolved with going to the show, it seems the better the show was, or at least more fun it was to let loose and forget reality for a time.

good point

I often observed that shows were great in direct proportion to the pain and suffering you went through to get there. I told myself this often while standing in the rain outside the Oakland Auditorium.
